Fed up with meds
Steroids
were amazing but obviously can't stay on them and I think they affected my blood sugar. Methotrexate made my hair fallout. Now on mycophenolate which keeps causing my wcc to drop. I am still taking them at the min with a wwc of 3.4.

Herpes Zoster vaccination OK for me?
I've been on high doses of
steroids
since February (60mg). Now down to 17.5 mg. I've been recommended by the health board to have the Herpes Zoster vaccination prior to starting the biologic jabs. I recall that Zostavax , because it is a live vaccine, is not recommended, but Shingrix is OK.

Pain everywhere
Do you think I ought to ring rumey nurse and ask for some
steroids
to help me. Of course it could also be all the stress of looking after Jim. I am off work until Tuesday, but I might ring work for maybe a few more days. I don't know what to do really? Thanks for listening.

Hospital and vertigo
I was admitted to hospital following a nasty bout of vertio in the early hours of Monday morning so I didn't take any medication that day at all including
steroids
. I am currently on 10mg per day.

GP insisting on using CRP & ESR as inflammatory markers...and managing to get a creatine kinase blood test ordered...legs are still an issue
But we ended up going through my meds and she asked about
steroids
being on my repeat....I said that although my lupus is largely controlled by my mix of meds, I have used oral
steroids
twice this year, they are an emergency plan for me....so it gave me the opportunity to tell her about my left leg issue

My only PGTA embryo has failed to implant
I had immune treatment this time including IVIG and
steroids
for this transfer due to NK cells and high cytokines. This is our fourth transfer. Our third one did implant in 2021 but had to be terminated as the baby was not going to survive.

Hair thinning on steroids
My questions are: does this start to improve as you taper down the
steroids
, and especially, does hair regrow and thicken again when you manage to get off
steroids
? Has anyone found any other treatment like folate useful? Many thanks.

Hot weather & getting nutrition right
I had pneumonia but to me it felt very weird because I was very hot & the doctors said my heart rate is above 120 & I was given
steroids
& antibiotics. I was struggling to stay cool & also struggling with what to eat that will keep me energised.

prednisolone
I went to see my rheumatologist who suggested a short course of
steroids
. Would anyone be able to help me as to whether they work and help with joint pain and awful fatigue? I am always very reluctant to take medication but I am exhausted.

Leaking Macula due to steroids?
The optician said
steroids
can cause it. I have an urgent referral to the eye hospital. Has anybody else been told they have this and it is due to
steroids
?

Breathlessness
On Monday I restarted back on methotrexate after a trial off it, and I know it could take a couple of months to kick in, in the meantime I’ve asked for
steroids
which I won’t be able to get until Monday.

Flax seed oil
I have since heard that it’s not good to take them whilst taking
steroids
but cant find much about it on Mr Google so am presuming it’s no big deal. I dont take them till lunchtime with when I take my Calcium and Vitamin d3 so there are several hours between
steroids
and FSO.

Persistent low grade fever
He advised he felt it was COPD and suggested I book a spirometry test 6 weeks after the
steroids
. Well I didn't realise just had hard breathing had become until the
steroids
kicked in and wow what a difference. After the
steroids
my chest feels great however my fever has remained.

I'm trying....
It is loud and intrusive and sounds like a dirty rusty old generator on
steroids
. The discomfort I have daily is all on the left side - every now and then I get a right earache but the daily pain / headache / earache / neck pain is all left side.

Prednisolone taper
I don't know if it's just a stomach bug or if it's low cortisol or if it's a side-effect of the
steroids
. I've contacted the endo nurse for advice but waiting for a reply. My asthma hasn't flared-up thankfully..! Anyone else had a similar experience?

Waking from sleep with upper abdominal pain for hours at a time

steroids
and antihistamine for 2 weeks- to my surprise EVERYTHING else went away too, all the symptoms listed above.

osteoporosis in hips but normal bone density in spine
I am 49 and on long term
steroids
so assuming this is the cause. A number of years ago I was prescribed oral biphosphanates that I didn’t tolerate following an osteopenic result on dexa scan I am not sure if anyone can answer this but my spine T scores were in the normal range.
