Stopped Prednisone Completely
Diagnosed in the fall of 2022 with PMR. Put on 13mg daily, the relief from the discomfort of PMR was immediate; overnight to be specific. The next month, began reducing my dosage about 1mg/mo. On 2023-10-06, began every other day dosage of 1mg. On 2023-12-26 I took my last dose and so far, so good

cellulitis
I’ve been diagnosed today with cellulitis - never had it before and knew nothing about it so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve been prescribed Flucloxacillin but unfortunately, by the time I was discharged from Urgent Care, the hospital pharmacy was closed so I can’t start them until the morning

First and foremost, I really have to thank all on here that contribute so much time and knowledge to those of us in need. It is very much appreciated. My basic history: I remember back in college around 1998, my calves would go crazy at night like spiders crawling under my skin. It would come and

today/tonight
this afternoon I am going to the casino to hang out with some friends from college. We’re going to shop at the outlets before checking into our air bnb and getting ready for the evening. Our plan is to gamble a bit and go to a nightclub after. Because of my anxiety I already plan on not drinking. But

I could have PMR…
I posted back in September for some invaluable advice from you lovely people. I suspected I might have PMR but after being in hospital and treated for ‘infection’ which is what the doctors said I had I thought no more about it. I had high inflammation markers which were thought to be due to infection

chest infection
I am currently tapering from 30mg to 25mg prednisolone for GCA. (been taking pred since February). I have had a productive cough and what I believe is a chest infection for 2 weeks. It is definitely better this week than last week and the guaifenesin I have taken has helped. I do not feel unwell

Free Covid tests for vulnerable
Does anyone know how we get free covid tests now that the government has stopped its postal service? I have looked on the NHS sites and there is no clear information. I also went to my local pharmacy and they had no idea about free tests.

Period flu?
Just wondering if anyone is experiencing what I am. I underwent excision surgery for stage 3 endo in November, however more recently the pain is worsening again but right now that’s not the worst symptom- the last 3/4 months, either during or instantly after my period I’m hit with the WORST flu/cold

Everlasting Cold
I am on day 20 of this cold that just doesn’t seem to go away. Not Covid, grateful for that but the amount of mucus I produce is never ending. Not running a fever but just tired of the congestion and coughing. Is there any use in seeing my doctor considering I am probably just dealing with an ordinary

The Plot Thickens…
I posted a few days ago about shoulder pain. It has got worse and is in both shoulders and is affecting my neck. It is far worse in the morning. My Osteopath gave me a private doctor’s contact details so I could see them for a cortisone injection. I had the appointment this morning and it turned out

Shingles vaccination
Have any of you under 70 year olds in the UK managed to get a shingles vaccination. Two people I know have suffered shingles in the eye, head, face recently. Very unpleasant and painful several weeks later.

Post covid asthma diagnoses
Hi there, I’d really like to hear from anyone who has been diagnosed with asthma after getting covid, or anyone with any thoughts! I got covid in feb 22 and since then have had several episodes of severe chest infections which always require antibiotics and steroids. I’ve check my inhaler technique
