Recovery from PMR
I never took
steroids
but took ibuprofen for the pain and to get me through the working day. After two years the condition burnt out and I recovered completely.

Pretty shaken
My onc nurse swiftly disconnected the chemo and gave me an infusion of
steroids

Stuck at 3mg
I'm caught between a rock & a hard place as I have also been diagnosed with a scary malignant melanoma, and the immunotherapy treatment (which I have not yet been prescribed) is inhibited by
steroids
.

It’s back 😩
I really don’t want to go back on
steroids
as it took me so long and hard work to get off of them and to be honest they didn’t give me much relief during the time I was on them although my ESR levels went down to 2.

Fostair and steroids
Is it ok to continue with the Fostair whilst on the
steroids
? I’d upped the puffs to 2 puffs x3 a day before I was given the
steroids

Feeling very despondent
I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2019 and my GP started me on 15 mg per day
steroids
plus other medication to offset the effects of the
steroids
. I immediately started to feel much better but when I dropped down to 10 mg per day I had a flare and had to go back up to 15mg.

Joint pain
My husband has severe joint pain in knees. He is now on Radium 223 treatment. Can he receive steroid injection?

Non alcoholic fatty liver
I am overweight but that's because I'm on high dose
steroids
for my severe asthma. I've cut a large amount of sugar and only eat 2 meals a day with some snacks in-between. I gained weight rapidly without changing my food.

Learning to live with PMR
Around the same time, some dental treatment requiring 2 days of
steroids
resulted in an immediate 'cure'. Finally when I saw a rheumatologist in September and told him this, he diagnosed PMR - I'd never heard of it!

not feeling to great.
I doubled my
steroids
as recommended by my adrenal help nurse. Forgot to ask how to reduce. I know I can go straight back to original dose after a week. If on a higher dose for 2 weeks or more do you have to taper off slowly? Appreciate advice

ADVICE PLEASE
Are these other drugs just as bad as
steroids
- i.e. substitute one bad drug for another bad drug. Your advice will be very much appreciated.

Pmr and eyes
Can
steroids
affect them at all? Sleep much better now the pain has gone or diminished. Sometimes sleep in the day as well. If you feel tired then sleep. Even a short nap is good. Sleep heals Only downside of pred is that I now have an appetite....which is not helpful weightwise.

Update on my Dexa Scan.
I presume this means use of
steroids
? Very confused with that as when the scan was done in May I had only used a 15 day course of
steroids
once since being diagnosed in 2004. I don’t think these scores need me to start medication so I’m very relieved. Is the Fracture risk high at 24.9%?
