Hi,
Recently diagnosed with PMR and having started on 30mg. prednisolone now down to 15 mg in 3 weeks and seem to be doing well.
Just had blood tests done and white blood cell count is high 16.4 10*9/L and am rather concerned, although as I understand this is a common side effect of steroids.
Any experience of this please and reassurance would be much appreciated.
I contacted my GP to see if I could reduce my steroid more quickly,
hmmm he did not seem to think this was a good idea.
