Breathless week lethargic

Not sure what’s going on with me. Prednisolon not helping this time 🥲

Begging to think much more going on this time round. Last time when on pred felt I could pedal to moon and back.

This time feels as I have done

Get lots of finger and feet cramps

Fussy head. Never been to rummy.

Anyone feel same ?

Hi Ronzy,I remember your first posts, I’ve come and gone here a couple times. You were always off somewhere having an adventure. I have never been off prednisone, just 6 years of steady going but still feeling a lot older now, life is just not as much fun as before this stinky pandemic. Anyway, hope you start feeling better soon, one day at a time. Best to you!

Hi Ronzy, I was diagnosed with PMR 10 weeks ago, GP put me straight on to 20mg Pred per day and I thought I was cured !! all aches and pains went overnight. 2 weeks ago GP reduced me to 15mg per day and I now have exactly the symptoms you describe in feet and hands every morning. I thought it might be a separate issue but now that I have read your post I will take it up with my GP to see if he has reduced the Pred too soon.

Not too soon - too big a jump down. Would have been better via 17.5mg and some people can't manage even that and need to go 1mg at a time

Thank you, I managed to talk to my GP yesterday afternoon and explained my "new" symptoms, he has arranged for me to have further blood tests next week so I will ask him about 17.5mg when he rings with results.
