tapering problem
Like everyone else I want to get off the
steroids
asap, in particular because of the side effects ( I have lost much of my hair, sweating, skin thinning, muscle weakness etc). I’d be grateful for any advice

Stem Cell Transplant update
I feel well in myself except for side affects from
steroids
which I should be off in a week. They make it difficult to sleep, make me hungry and over full of energy . Many of my blood counts are in normal range except for platelets. These keep yo-yoing around.

Synacthen Test Results
On my follow up the endocrinologist said I passed the test and that anyone would feel better after the test as it's
steroids
and he wouldn't recommend going down that route for medication. Thing is I'm wondering where to go, does this result conclusively rule out secondary arenal insufficiency?

My dad
He was put on
steroids
for 3 days. But on day 2, they didn't see any improvement so they started a mask type ventilator. He got better for the next two days, but he started to feel uncomfortable. So they decided to put him in an induced coma and intubate him.

Any ideas ?
After recent phone call from Doctors saying he wants me off
steroids
as its been 3 yrs. He now says he might refer me to a Rheumatologist. I am currently on 2.5 mgs and reducing .5 mg monthly. Up to now no interest whatsoever.

Vitamin Supplements for PMR
I’m in a very good place with my PMR since starting
steroids
, by comparison to many on here and I don’t want to disrupt this. I also fully intend to be a tortoise with tapering, especially from 10mg on.

Bee Sting and Prednisone
I think high dose
steroids
are sometimes given very short term for serious bee sting allergies, but as far as I know I’m not allergic. The sting site is slightly red, slightly swollen and somewhat painful. Any thoughts?

Pmr and heart attack
He did really well with the
steroids
, they worked to manage the symptoms and he took his last dose in February. Previously he was a fit, healthy and strong person. Pmr definitely took some of his muscle strength and I think it slowed him down too.

Starting therapy 5 yrs post CAR-T with another immunotherapy trial, now epcoritamab
I won't be posting frequent updates here or on other forums, but will try to blog on the website when the
steroids
and the Benadryl and the fire alarms and the frequent vital sign checks and the blood draws give me a break. I'm pretty tired and sleep deprived.
