Experiences with

Cinchocaine / Prednisolone hexanoate

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I wanted to post an update about my father's current situation. After PSA started to raise, the MO added Abiraterone 1000 mg. a day with 10 mg prednisolone to his treatment regimen with Zoladex (once every 3 month) and Zoledronic acid (once every month). Abiraterone

Would be so grateful for your help. When PMR hit in February 2023 thought I’d be off steroids in a couple weeks how foolish was I….. Prescribed Prednisolone 20mg February 2023 tapered to 10mg 3 weeks later, GP didn’t give instruction and I didn’t understand but it worked.. At some point was changed

After nearly two weeks of doxycycline and things clearing I’ve managed to pick up the nasty bug that’s going around Bad head at first. Then runny nose and sneezing and now back to nasty coughing fits so I’ve decided it’s nasty sweeties time to calm everything. They are amazing though I hate them. Cough

2 nights ago I had severe pain both sides low mid abdomen, it reminded me of ovary pain years ago but was higher. It was so very bad I was hesitating to phone 999, but took paracetamol and 3 mg prednisolone, I felt like fainting so lay down and must have fainted / slept as woke up later and pain had

With a variety of symptoms, including 'pins and needles' in my feet, leg and hip pain, general aches and pains ( on top of my existing asthma, levothyroxine treatment and Amlodopine for slightly raised blood pressure) I was diagnosed with PMR in summer 2023. Since then I've been told that the problem

I have been in 'remission' for almost a year now, finally getting off the prednisolone in January.I had a catheter ablation in March this year for atrial fibrillation and although it was quite traumatic I am doing well with that. Now I hurt pretty much all over, my neck and shoulder has always been stiff

Hi, Question of the day - does anyone else have long covid before pmr? Did you manage to taper off prednisolone successfully? Just a musing really - glossing over my bio - I was getting progressively worse from 2021 to 2024, more and more disabled, I had bloods taken over that period and nothing, no

I've been diagnosed with PMR since April 2024 though I had symptoms since the beginning of February. I was diagnosed by a Rheumatologist who gave me the usual steroid regime to follow. I have managed to taper to 7.5 mgs and am slowly moving towards 7.0mgs, following the suggestions how to do it from

Hi all, first post on here but have watched from a distance for last couple of years and have gained much insight and knowledge from the community, thank you. My question is probably aimed to those that have suffered from GCA and what the early signs were. I have had PMR for 3.5 years and am steady

Morning All. I can't believe this - I've just started the reduction from 5 to 4.5mg so Sunday's dose was 4.5. Went to the dosette box to get my levothyroxine first thing to see yesterday's 5mg still sitting there. It was weird - when I woke up, I noticed my shoulders felt a bit PMR-ish and thought

Diagnosed GCA September 2022, loss of vision in left eye, prednisolone and Alendronic acid, completed taper by February 2024. Lots of symptoms during the last months but persevered and began to feel better after a few weeks. However this didn’t last and experienced lots of issues - shoulder, arms, hips

Hi there....I had breakfast at 10.am this morning and started throwing up about 5 hours later. Do I have to take my dose again (6.5mg) ?

.......before I see the rheumatologist pleaseWhen I was diagnosed with 'suspected PMR' back in August I was given 15mg Prednisolone and all the pain went away which, along with raised ESR, brought the diagnosis. I was given a reducing plan to start after 3 weeks and that's when the trouble started as

Hi, when I was given Prednisolone in August they were the standard tablets and I was given Omeprazole 'to prevent stomach ulcers'.I have read about gastro resistant tablets. Would these be better or would I still need the Omeprazole? Thanks 🙂

I've been taking Prednisolone for PMR since Oct 2021. Started at 15mg now on 3mg. In that time my eyesight has changed from being longsighted to short sighted. Previously I needed glasses to read but could see my golf ball land 200yards away without glasses. It appears I now have cataracts and that is

Thanks for replying folks. Surprisingly I got a phone call from doc ....yes the antibiotics can cause horrible taste,upset stomach and all the rest.I asked if the combination might cause increased breathlessness and was told that it was unlikely....so I'm told to start prednisolone in the morning. Next

Hi all - I posted this on NRAS website and loads of helpful replies. As lupus is part of my diagnosis I thought I would post here too: Oh where to start. Feet have been bad for a few years. Reached crisis point a few weeks ago. Agreed with GP after asking about crutches to take short course of steroids
