Prednisolone and diarrhoea
Been on
steroids
for suspected GCA not quite three weeks now - went down from 50 mg to 40mg after first week. Not generally feeling too bad though not as bright as I was in the first few days of steroid honeymoon.

Here we go again
I don't think I could endure another course of
steroids
. What pain relief can I expect ? How have others coped?

Hi Everyone, I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica and have taken
steroids
for 18 months. After breaking some bones last year I had a DEXA scan and was told I have severe Osteoporosis.

Supra Ventricular Ectopy
I've learned that dehydration and
steroids
are triggers for me. I'm 69 years old and retired. I have had some stress recently in that my wife has broken her hip and needs more care than usual. I take 1000mg of magnesium glysenate daily and a prescription potassium.

pulse of steroids
Hi I had an IV pulse of
steroids
last Thursday, I was wondering what experience others might have had with this. Initial results were good, better pain relief, swelling in hands much improved, but I still have pain within each joint, especially wrists and knees.

Feel like giving up.
For unknown reasons other than we think Rituxumab is not working for you any more my medication was changed to Kevzera (Sarilulmab) in November. The work up checks were done and good to go apart from a Chest X Ray as I hadn't had one for a while. A shadow area was found on my lung with suspected

Bursitis of toes & Steroid Injection
I've had pain from between the second & third toe since last May. It hurts to stand & walk especially barefoot or in shoes. I tend to wear trainers when I can as the base is soft & spongy. I had surgery Oct 22 for severe arthritis in the large toe & at first I feared it had spread. Two trips to GP (

Triple therapy and Prednisolone
When I went to see my GP a few weeks ago I had slight, sporadic symptoms and was planning to wait until I am off
steroids
, but now I feel nauseous all the time and can't sleep through the night, so something needs to be done, hence interfering with my taper seems inevitable.

14 year old son with tight foreskin, will he need surgery
My son recently told his dad that his foreskin doesn't retract. I think he was to embarrassed to talk to me. Took him to the doctors and was told to apply steroid cream and was told try gentle stretching. Went back a month later, and although the foreskin is less tight and now retracting it's not fully

Topical steroid & osteoporosis
Hi, I have severe osteoporosis as well as diffuse systemic sclerosis. I am having 6 monthly injections of denosumab. I also have chronic ulcers on feet which are being looked after by tissue viability. I have just finished a 2 week course of a strong topical steroid cream with this week off. The nurse

Mannitol challenge
I obviously don’t want to be taking the
steroids
; inhalers; antibiotics etc if I don’t need to - it would be wonderful not to have to take these, particularly as they have caused health problems.

Versus arthritis leaflet on steroids and PMR
I picked up a leaflet/booklet from Versus Arthritis about Steroid tablets in a hospital the other day and I think it would be useful particularly to those new to PMR/taking
steroids
.

Osteoporosis
To me, that is not a great difference, having been on
steroids
for 2 1/2 years. I now have been told I should go onto Alendronic acid which I have avoided so far. Or 6 monthly injections , and having done a bit of research, have got quite worried about this.

Chondocalcitis incurable?
At least that's how I think it's spelt. It's a specialised form of RA and I have it in my left knee (along with normal RA in shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers.It's also called Pseudogout but as the crystals in Chondocalcitis are calcium they can't be dispersed as the uric acid crystals in ordinary

Getting Off of Painkillers
I started seeing a pain management doctor about 4 years ago for severe lower back pain. One of the first things she did was put me on 5 mg Hydrocodone four times a day and gave me a steroid injection. Over the years, I have had several radio frequency ablations and a handful of steroid injections. The

Statins & Steroids
I’ve been advised to take statins due to high cholesterol levels of 7.0, Serum triglycerides 2.3, HDL 2.5, HDL ratio 2.8, LDL 3.4, non HDL 4.5. I’m reluctant to take more meds but I’m unclear of the meaning of all the results and if I should take statins or not. I’ve read some articles stating that
