Has anybody noticed a lot of “peach fuzz” on their faces since being on Prednisone? I have developed quite a bit!

Prednisolone vs Co-codamol 30/500
I’m long term PMR, down to 6mg pred and this will be my dose for life. I still ache every day and take normally two Co-codamol 30/500 first thing in morning and at 1800 hrs. I am due à medicine review by my surgery pharmacist and I am pretty sure they want me to cut down or stop the Co-codamol. My

I am down to 2mg prednisone. Not noticing typical PMR symptoms
After I got on Methotrexate and Hydroxychloroquine, the right hand wrist and finger swelling went away, and I was able to start dropping pred from 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 now. While I am glad for this, I am mad that only a rheumy was smart-experienced enough to think of it, I likely could have saved months

Hello I'm a bit nervous as i've just had a fresh embryo transfer. I've been on prednisolone for suspected auto immune conditions, for the last few weeks/since start of cycle. However, the consultant told me to stop taking it today, now that I have had the transfer. I'm a bit confused as i've read

Severe Itching
Thank you for all your kind responses. So after 2 days on prednisone and hydroxyzine, the itch is lessening. Herb's oncologist thinks this is a side effect of the Keytruda treatments for cancer that Herb started monthly this year. So now we gave to decide whether to discontinue the treatments or face

STILL ON THE BED...MOSTLY..10TH WEEK
As some are aware, my back issues have been ongoing, but yesterday morning I woke with what feels like a cracked rib. Left side, bottom rib, tenderest spot being about 3 inches to left of the clavicle. Extremely painful. This rib was broken many years ago. Could also be as spasmed muscle, as it reaches

NICE maths

A suggested schedule for reducing prednisolone is provided below, but smaller dose reductions and longer durations at each dose may be needed to avoid relapses in some people. Typically, treatment is required for between

Scalp pain
I am getting so frustrated. I have now seen 3 primary care doctors and one rheumatologist. I've had possible diagnoses of either PMR or fibromyalgia None of the 4 can tell me why I have scalp pain, pink scalp and very sore, itchy scalp. None can tell me why I have constant hot flashes. I can't take

Methotrexate for the summer
Hi lovely friends, Some of you will recall back in February that I had a flare with rash that my Rheumy, Dr A, didn’t recognise as a Lupus rash. He is still adamant it wasn’t Lupus then but that the progression, which 2 weeks later was confirmed by the Dermatologist as a Lupus rash, was! 🤷🏼♀️

Not fair!
I woke up this morning with crushing fatigue and mind-boggling pain. It took me a little bit before I realized that my PMR is back. I put a call into my rheumatologist for a prescription for 20 mg prednisone. Can anyone tell me about how long it took for the pain to subside after starting prednisone.

Severe itching
We went to ER today because rash and itching are escalating. They gave him a cortisone shot and a benedryl shot. So far, it has not made a difference. They gave him script for prednisone and hydroxyzine. We have appt to see oncologist tomorrow. Something has to give. He is getting no sleep.
