Is 5 mg Prednisone for life safe
He has lost in total 25 kg in weight and has had no adverse side effects from the use of
Prednisone
. All bloods are good, he has very little pain and is living a virtually normal life. He takes calcium and K2 and eats very sensibly. Bone scan does not show any problems.

Does Immunotherapy cause Vasculitis?
Hi, my Mum had vasculitis in 2013 following a bad infection, she continues to take 5mg
prednisone
to this day.Sadly she has been diagnosed with a stage 2 tumor of the cecum which because of her age and frailty at 81 years old is suggested to be inoperable.

Just starting the journey…..
She diagnosed PMR and started me on 15mg of
Prednisone
. This really did not much and I was back to her in a few days. She discussed GCA and started me on 50mg of
prednisone
and referred me to a Rheumatologist. I was lucky to get in to see him in a few days as my levels were alarming!

Frequent Eye Prescription Changes and Cataract Surgery
I started on 60 MG
Prednisone
and have tapered to 5.5 mg since then using DSNS. I have had vision problems almost from the start -- blurry vision mostly, but now I have significant cataracts -- AND I've had to change my prescription 4 times since AUG 22.

Curious about thin-skinned ears---Prednisone?
Just the other day, I wondered if it was from almost five years of
prednisone
; still on 2mg and TCZ. Do I have any mates with red ears? 👂🏼💞

Painful tendons and prednisone
Three nights ago I started doubling up on
prednisone
. Instead of taking my usual 5 mg dose. I started taking 10 mg morning and night and the pain in my arm is gone.

Hospital and large doses of Prednisone??
During my first visit with Rheumatologist, I asked how to handle symptoms if they returned during tapering. I suggested that I go back to the last dosage that worked plus some, as I have read here. She said no, that I should go to Emergency at the hospital with the thought that they would inject me with

shingles vax
I’ve tapered down to 5mg of
prednisone
over the last 8 months and so far my PMR is at acceptably low levels. I’ve been offered the shingles vaccine and wondering whether to have it. What is your advice?

out of date Pred
For 2 weeks I have been taking 1 mg
prednisone
which was out of date in March ‘23. Would it have been effective as I seem to have some returning symptoms of GCA?

Help I don’t understand
Also extreme fatigue and a red rash on my cheeks and trouble swallowing.My doctor gave me
prednisone
to treat because crp and esr were high. She also started me on plaquenil. Now before the medicine I had 2 positive Ana with nucleoar . She rechecked a couple days ago and my Ana was negative.

Is This Normal??
Is it normal after nearly 5 years on ADT + Zytig,
Prednisone
, and Xgeva, to have constant "Flu-Like" symptoms, (sans a fever)? Some days, everything hurts, legs hurt at night , feel like my blood is boiling while I try to sleep. Are these "side effects" or just part of the advanced cancer?

GCA question
I am happy to report I am feeling pretty good and down to 5 1/2 mg if
prednisone
. My question is, does anyone else with GCA get a pain like feeling in their head and a feeling that something is wrong or going to happen. The feeling only lasts several seconds but it is unnerving.

Maintenance dose of prednisone - how effective?
For people who are on this all the time or during the winter months, what mg are you on and does it stop infections turning bad?

Managing Prednisone dose with PMR
I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023. ESR was 57 CRP was 46. My GP put me on 50mg of Pred for a few days with a slow tapering down. Currently I am on 3mg but am really uncomfortable day & night, and unable to do some normal daily tasks such as brushing hair, drying my back after a shower, vacuuming
