Side effects of Prednisolone
Hi you lovely people ! I’ve now had 4 doses of 15 mg at 4 am ( just because I happened to be awake then ) . I took the tablets with a banana and cup of tea , a little Prednisolone picnic in the early hours 🙂 So definitely a change in the PMR pain and stiffness in both shoulders, hooray ! But I’m waking

Jaw pain
Hello, I started getting pain in my right jaw, the point near the ear where jaw bones meet. It hurt to open mouth wide and very sore eating. I had an emergency appointment with the dentist and after thorough exam of my teeth, which were all good, he examined the area in question and listened and felt

Chemo pain
Hi All, I wanted to give some hope to anyone experiencing severe pain with taxanes. I had horrific stabbing pain from upper abdomen to knees with my first cycle of carbo / Pac. It started day 2, was at its worst day 3 and gradually improved the rest of the first week. It was almost unbearable and I didn't

Problems with Pregabalin
My new GP prescribed me Pregabalin 3 weeks ago for nerve pain in my thighs, which I have said since my PCa diagnosis in 2016. I did complain about it to my RO and MO after radiation and chemo ended in 2017. But they put me on Brufen which had little impact, so just put up with it. Since SBRT radiation

Anybody else using paracetamol and nurofen/ brufen in addition to prednison for the PMR symptoms??
In May 2021 I will “ celebrate” 4 years of PMR. Now, mostly on 3.5 since about 1.25 years. Had various flares over this period, so very cautious with diminishing my prednison dose. I feel the paracetamol/ nurofen added saves me taking a higher dose of prednisone.

Alternatives from Adalat Retard
My Grandma has been on Adalat retard 20mg for a very long time to manage her blood pressure. Since it’s been discontinued her doctors has been haphazard with finding her a new solution. She has symptoms with Nifedipress 20mg. Has anyone had a better transition from retard? If so which tablet?

Immediate-Release Versus Controlled-Released Carbidopa-Levodopa
The question of immediate release versus controlled-release carbidopa levodopa is a frequent topic here, so it is high time to have a post specifically addressing this issue. Chart source: https://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/ben/ccp/2007/00000002/00000003/art00006?crawler=true With reference

How long does it really take to recover
Hi everyone I am moving into my 4th year of PMR. I am off prednisone and have been for about 3 months. I am left with costachondritis. I believe this is a common side effect of arthritic conditions. I am taking brufen twice a day to help this and general stiffness. It’s Definately not PMR as first

Post head injury pain relief
Like most of us, I have more than "just" a head injury and as people like to say there is a lot wrong with me! One of the things that have been troubling me a lot over the last 18 months is my knees. After many, many years of taking brufen and co-codamol they aren't as effective as they used to be and

Ladies, contraception and ET JAK2
Ladies, I was diagnosed by accident after going to the Doc for really heavy and painful periods. Paracetamol wouldn’t touch it and I can’t take Brufen anyway due to having IBS. So now I have a diagnosis of ET, I’m on 75mg aspirin which, as you’ll all be aware makes bleeding even worse and can’t be

Ibuprofen with Prednisolone?
Evening. I seem to remember reading on here that some members mentioned that they sometimes take a one off, larger than normal dose of brufen with a meal to try and knock inflammation pain on the head. I am nervous of doing this as advice is not to take NDAIDs with Pred but I think I’d like to give it

Alternative to brufen
Hi, I used to take brufen / naproxen for when my joints played up. Now I have been put on Apixaban I clearly have to stop taking these. So what do people take instead ?
