Rheumy visit recently, going forward…..
had my 2-3 monthly Rheumy visit last week. I’m currently on 6.5mg….looking to taper down to 6 soon (delayed as I had a cold recently.) Touch wood, all generally going along ok……she seems confident in my slow tapering method and seems happy to let me continue at my own pace 👏🏻. She said that we’ll

GCA diagnostic dilemma
Thank you everyone who has helped so far. Last night I had a message from Rheumy saying I should go to the hospital for an emergency biopsy, with the headache and unusual severe temporal pain being the driver. He said that U/S was so ‘operator sensitive’ as to be unreliable in this ‘locality’. The

Ophthalmologist Visit
I just wanted to report on the exam by the ophthalmologist today. He said everything looks good. Optic nerve looks fine. He agreed (with all of you!) that my visual disturbances are caused by the steroids. He recommended I talk to my optometrist about prism lenses that will help to correct the double

Affect of tummy upsets on anti-coagulants,
I was wondering what effect it has on the absorption of anti-coagulants, should something cause you to have diarrhoea - how long does it take after ingestion does it take something like an Eliquis tablet to become effective ?

Regular care
I was diagnosed with AF around four years ago now, by a cardiologist in a major teaching hospital. I was put on anticoagulants and referred back to my GP. The local surgery check my meds yearly and I have an annual blood test, but that’s it. I am wondering whether I should ask to be referred back to

GCA Eyesight Anxiety
Hello, I am feeling quite anxious now, because my long-distance sight seems worse today. I am definitely seeing double (at a distance) and cannot focus (distance only.) Up close is clear. (I do have myopia, and have never had any problem with close work, unlike most people my age, which is 65.) I was

Sleep aids
Hoping that people can pass on what they use to help sleep with T. Realise there are likely to be a number of replies through various posts, but be good to hear what works for people on this thread if possible. ..on another note are steroids likely to spike tinnitus? Just finishing a 5 day course prescribed

Felodipine
Hi, I've recently had my BP med switched from Lercanidipine to Felodipine. I'm finding Felodipine is giving me bad headaches, has anyone else found this an issue and if so did anything help? I'm unable to take Ibuprofen as I'm asthmatic, the only thing which helped was Syndol and that's not available

Blood in urine
Hi all I’m a type 2 diabetic, age 62, previous hysterectomy. I get recurring water infections and often the dipstick shows that up and nearly as many times I’m told no infection. I class myself as having painful bladder syndrome though that’s never been confirmed. My question today is that often along

Quick Question re. Taking Hydroxycarbamide.
Hi everyone, just to ask those of you with ET and taking HU, when taking two 500 mg capsules in a day, do you take them both together or at separate times in the day?

accidental overdose of thyroxine
I’m on 100 mcg thyroxine and the kart prescription they only had 25 mcg so I was taking 4 tablets a day and then the recent prescription was 100 mcg. I’ve just realised today that I’ve been taking 4 100 mcg a day I think for 4 days from how many are gone. In a bit of a panic. I’ve rang 111 and they called
