I’ve finished the first 6 weeks of treatment (Lupron + Abiraterone with
Prednisone
) and PSA has gone from 8.6 to .53/ testosterone less than .4. I’ve had really none of the usual side effects like hot flashes or fatigue. I start radiation of the prostate in a couple weeks.

To jab or not to jab
Hi I was diagnosed January this year. I am on Prednisolone trying to taper to come off as I hate the effects. I have had 5 Covid jabs, 4 were Pfizer and the last one was Moderna, which I am convinced started PMR. I now wonder whether to have the next one as I am coping reasonably well and do not want

GCA flare
Diagnosed April 2018 with PMR. Three months later GCA. I am currently on 3mgs prednisolone. Over the last two days have scalp pain on right side only … no jaw pain. It feels a bit like I am getting a cold sore but no cold sore showing up. Could it be a GCA flare? Thank you to everyone who replies.

How do you taper Prednisone pills, by crushing and weighing the powders?
I am not talking about a taper plan schedule. I mean how do you cut 1 mg from a 10 mg tablet?

What is going on?
I am at 14 mg ( starting in 2020 at 80 mg ) of
Prednisone
. I have noticed that there are days when I wake up and my shoulders, arms and hips really hurt. I find that am not able to do much because of the pain and total exhaustion.

Anyone else on Pred. plus Sulfasalazine?
I've noticed that others are also on Methotrexate or Leflunomide along with their daily dose of
prednisone
. My dr. tried both of those at various times but I had unwelcome side effects from each.

Progress report
Oh what a fun week I have had. Those of you that followed the tooth saga will be pleased to hear I am nearly at the finishing line and had the fitting for the implant, another 2 weeks and I will have the new tooth. It wasn’t particularly pleasant but it’s done. My next exiting trip was to have a scan

Zytiga failed, Xtandi next
MO says the active hip lesion means the Zytiga is failing, at least at that one area only but recommends Xtandi and I am now hormone resistant after 19 months on ADT plus Zytiga/
prednisone
.

alcohol
hi has anyone has a couple of alcoholic beverages while on Prednisolone. I am down to 3mg and have been off alcohol since I started my PMR journey. Just wondering if it’s best not to have any alcohol until down to zero, or if a couple of pints would do a lot of harm.

Very tired & can’t walk in straight line.
I was diagnosed in Jan 2023 with PMR & put on 15mg Prednisolone. I am now tapering 1mg per month and am down to 8mg. I am exhausted most of the time, can’t walk in a straight line and stagger quite a bit if very tired. I also have a very annoying sensation under my scalp on the top of my head, which

Split Prednisone or one dose daily?
Many with PMR seem to have extreme fatigue when tapering
prednisone
. I’m curious if anyone who was splitting their daily dose went to once per day in an attempt to help with fatigue caused by adrenals struggling. Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.

Asthma without infection
Brief history. Moved north to West Yorkshire in 1974 (aged 29). Started with beathing difficulties. Had allergy tests and a course of desensitisation injections, which worked, but whenever I caught a cold, it morphed into a sore throat and chest infection leading to gasping for breath. Major attack
