Off Daily Pred , So is it Flareups or arthritis?
When I was diagnosed with PMR January of 2021, my rheumatologist put me on 15 mg of pred and tapering by 1 or 2 mg monthly. I have been off pred since the middle of January and feel basically ok. I do get occasional flareups (I think) which I control with a 5,4,3,2,1 mg dosage over 5 days and that takes

Two and a half weeks post upper right lobectomy.
Hello all, I’m finding lack of pain control in the middle of the night is preventing me from getting a full night’s sleep. I’m fine during the day although the stiffness in my back and side is always present. I’m gradually increasing the amount of walking and activity at home. I take rests when I need

Leg Numbness and Tingling
The scan did note
arthritis
in his lower spine though he's not had associated
pain
. He had 5 sessions of SBRT in early December. He told his MO at the same time about the nerve issues in the right leg. She didn't seem too concerned.

Rheumatologist doesn't want me to stay on pred
My Dr has me taking plaquenil 6 days a week and only use prednisone when I have much
pain
. I also gave inflammatory
arthritis
. There us a distinct difference between pmr
pain
and the inflammatory
arthritis
pain
. She would have me take methotrexate before daily pred.

What happens when you end tocilizumab
I have GCA and PMR , plus a few other conditions.. I am on Prednisolone, Azothioprine and tocilizumab . I am getting towards the end of the tocilizumab injections as the aim is to get to 7 mg Pred and I am about to reduce to 9 mgs. The tocilizumab has done wonders with unreadably low CRP and ESR of 3

GCA at young age?
Hello, I have been suffering from symptoms over the last few weeks and I am struggling to get any progress with hospitals. I am 26 years old and I have never had any issues with headaches in my life. As a bit of background I have probably just had the most stressful year of my life and one of my aunties

Headaches
I’m 10 months into treatment, Lupron, Ibrance and Letrazole. And I’ve had a consistent headache for two weeks. My onc ordered a brain scan. In the meantime, I’ve tried OTC pain relievers, sinus decongestants, Neurofeedback. I get some temporary relief but nothing lasting. Any suggestions?
