Covid - Beware Getting Treatment - Don’t Test Positive on a Friday - Some Answers
Well I said I would update you all regarding the ordeal I had had regarding my previous posts on this subject. Don’t want to bore you all but some may be interested in what I have managed to find out. I laid out to the NHS what I needed answers to and what they were doing about it to prevent it happening

PMR & COVID Vaccine Link?
In another thread which I began on a different subject, the possibility of a link between PMR and COVID vaccine came up. In that thread, for the first time I saw something other than idle speculation that the vaccine and PMR might be l inked: [i]A study published[/i][u][i] in the journal Rheumatology

MtX or am I just unlucky?
I have been on 20 mg MtX for now 3 weeks, titrating up over 3 months. I just recvered from an UTI that has needed 2 rounds of antibiotics (hope to be clear now) and 3 weeks of a milder cold virus! Then for 2-3 days I was well and then again down with a severe cold, lasting now 2 weeks and it is progressing

My GCA Update
I just got done with my MRIs and MRAs, so we’ll see if results show much. My blood test came back with sed rate normal (always has been) and C-reactive prrotein headed down. It went from normal in PMR, to 1.3 and then 2.0 in GCA. Now at 0.8, so barely high and heading in the right direction. Still feeling

Does RA exist in the hips?
I've had fibromyalgia for around 20 years so am familiar with the symptoms. RA was diagnosed 4 years ago and I am now on Sarilumab jabs. I had a terrible flare around 4 weeks ago and couldn't get through to Rheumatology by any means. The pain in my hips was like fire and I had no real sleep for 2

Covid vaccine
I've been offered a covid jab as I work with vulnerable people but I'm currently experiencing a real flare up of my asthma. Has anyone else had this situation and gone ahead with the jab? Did it make it worse? I'm thinking to postpone the vaccination.

Covid vaccine - symptoms worsening?
Good evening. Wondering if anyone has experienced AF symptoms worsening after a covid vaccine? I have paroxysmal AF and am in day 6 of AF…usual symptoms so far (palpitations, high heart rate, breathlessness when active, occasional lightheadedness) so nothing out of the ordinary. However I had the covid

GCA-Lyme Disease Connection?
Hi all, My wife is a long-time Lyme Disease sufferer, and has recently had a consultation with a biologist/pathologist. This person takes a blood sample and then looks at it under the microscope while the patient is present -- and then comments on what has been seen. My wife had the classic signs

Should I postpone Covid booster?
Apologies this question was asked recently but can’t find it now! Do you think I should postpone my covid jab tomorrow? Have been fibrillating for 9 days. Felt fairly weary to start with though pulse rate not above 100. Still out of rhythm but feel I am getting better every day and don't want it to

Allergy to prednisolone?
Hi everyone I have severe asthma and was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency in 2020 after taking lots of Pred when Covid triggered my asthma. I was just left on 5mg Pred for two years with no endocrinology involvement. I was eventually transferred to an endocrinologist who tried me on hydrocortisone

NEIGHBOUR JUST GOT COVID VAX
Quick one - I think. My neighbour, who helps me during these back issues, just got a Covid booster and Flu vax yesterday. Is it possible for her to transmit the virus to me? Is "immune compromised" the correct term for us PMR folk? Am I being paranoid? TIA
