Drowning in mucous !
I have just done 7 days of Doxycycline (7 days more to take) and 5 days of
steroids
and the mucous just wont stop. I can feel it gurgling when I breathe in. I am able to cough it up easily enough but there`s no let up. I am seeing the consultant on the 5th October .

re:- White blood cell count on steroids
Just had blood tests done and white blood cell count is high 16.4 10*9/L and am rather concerned, although as I understand this is a common side effect of
steroids
. Any experience of this please and reassurance would be much appreciated.

Facial Hair growth due to Cyclosporine
I have taken
Steroids
before and I know hair growth caused by it stops as it's s dose is tapered. I would like to know if anyone has experienced facial hair growth due to cyclosporine, if yes, does it last forever or does it stop as the dose is tapered.

Not PMR? Not sure what to do next
Not sure the
steroids
worked as it hasn’t really improved. Went to a private rheumatologist, and have just had all the results back. She can see no cause of the pain, all bloods and scans have come back ok. Says it’s not PMR due to not presenting the symptoms and that he is male and under 65.

inflammation in eyes
I was told the cataract are easy to fix but today the doctor told me she won’t fix them as if the inflammation comes back the
steroids
will cause complications with the new lens.

After 25 days back on prednisone...
Last week my C-rp was 3, down from 6 before returning to

painkilling spinal injections
He was very nice and extremely thorough and told me l have a soft spine, probably due to
steroids
, and would need an op to remove a bit of spine that had slipped and was pressing on nerves. He wants to operate and can do so in 4 weeks time but the bill will be £10,880.

Prednisolone Update & Questions
Pre the
steroids
on Monday morning, I think I had my worst day ever.....pure agony, arms like twigs, shoulders searingly painful....which brought me to tears. Started the course that morning and wake now after a good 6/7 hours with minimal shoulder pain and stiffness.

Hi! I just joined. CIDP: Is anyone like me?
I've lived with atopic dermatitis and multiple allergies all my life, which are controlled with local
steroids
, antihistamines and emollients. My mother had ankylosing spondylitis. Those facts, and my good response to prednisolone, convince me I have a autoimmune disease.

any one had to stop work due to health?
I’ve just had a year off during which I had a craniotomy and RT as well as dealing with taking
steroids
for GCA which isn’t helping! I have just started a phased return to work. Work have been amazing and my return is very flexible. However, I don’t know if I can do it.

Microscopic colitis associated with RA
A biopsy is needed to confirm MC and then the treatment of
steroids
. You may wonder why I'm telling you this but there are surely some of you with RA associated MC or going through various tests if you are having bowel problems.
