COVID and prednisone
Hi everyone, There's a summer COVID surge happening here in the US. I'm just wondering if there is anything I should know about COVID and pred. If I get COVID, does that affect how much pred I should take? If I am in a flare (I am actually in a mild flare right now) and I get COVID, then what do I

First time Ruxolitinib and what to make note of, from Vietnam - a case of interest/study
I am writing on behalf of my mother who was diagnosed with PV back in 2002. The symptoms started with her in 2001 but it took over 1 year for my mother to get to the right hospital, a specialized Hematologic hospital of the Ho Chi Minh City and she was put on HU since then, until recently, as a BMB showed

does half a mg make so much difference
about three weeks ago I started to feel the familiar aches associated with pmr. Prior to this I had dropped from 3.5 to 3. I contacted my rheumatologist department and had a blood test which showed cpr <5 cor but I had symptoms. I’ve arranged a further blood test next week and was advised to stay with

Colds/flu/viruses and Thyroxine
Just wondering is there any link to having Hashimotos and not having any colds/flu/viruses. The reason I ask is that I never got sick, with the usual colds etc for many years. I just started thyroxine a few months ago. Now I have a really horrible virus, coughing, temperature, flu like symptoms. This

Pred and colds, and pmr burn-out
Hi All.Probably both silly questions, but firstly, do other people with PMR keep getting colds? One after the other? I am tapering down from 10 mg. Secondly, I've read that PMR often burns out after 2 years. So does this mean that if I taper down to 0 or 1mg across 2 years, the PMR will have gone as
