Can't squat or raise arms without pain?
I have tapered down to 1 mg Prednisone over three years (from 15mg). I have the same weird symptoms that I've always had. If I squat, my legs feel an extreme fatigue/deadness. I can't raise my arms for more than 15-20 seconds without them feeling an extreme fatigue/pain/deadness. Does anyone else have

Prednisone and DOMS
Is the inflammation from PMR (which I unfortunately have) and the inflammation from DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness, which I also regularly have) somewhat similar, or are they two different beasts. And whether similar or not, does prednisone reduce DOMS. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Tapering Regime while on Kevzara (or other biologic)
I'm in the U.S. getting Kevzara (third injection is this Tuesday i.e. week six). I am grateful I was allowed to try Kevzara after 9 years on prednisone and never being able to get below 5 mg without a flare amongst other reasons. I have tried to look up the tapering regime for attempting a taper with

Prednisolone came down to fast
Hi everyone, I tried unsuccessfully to taper down from 10mg to 8mg and like Dorsetlady said it was too big a drop. And she was right I tried saying that I will get over the severe aches and pains to no avail I had to go back to 10mg.Thank you for reading my small note. Peter

implant Surgery Tomorrow
The dental surgeon says to take 10 mg prednisolone in the morning before having the tooth extracted and implant put in. She knows I’m currently on 3-3.5 mg and has PMR long term. She says the extra is to help with the anxiety/stress and that as my body likely isn’t producing cortisol of its own this

EBRT - Is it the right thing and what to expect?
After DX in November 2018 with Stage IV and Gleason of 5+4 and 4+5, and 5 years of ADT of Lupron (then Orgovyx), prednisone 5mg, and Zytiga 250mg with low fat breakfast, my PSA stayed stable at 0.4 or 0.5. At end of 2013, PSA started rising to latest value of 0.84. Had PSMA PET Scan March 5, 2024

Wound healing and Steroid Use
I have been on Prednisone for just over a year. I am down to 10mg and cannot titer down without flare. I am waiting for approval for Kevzara. I have noticed that when I get a small cut or skin abrasion (which is more frequent since my skin is thinner with steroid use) It gets very red and takes a long

Has anyone tried pulsed electric magnetic field therapy for PMR relief?
I am having trouble tapering. Can't seem to get much below 15 mg; went down to 10 mg but still having some pain in the mornings. So increased dosage on advice of rheumy. At this rate, I'll be on prednisone for a long, long time. So wondering if anyone has tried alternative treatments to try to get

Prefer pain to steroids!
in 2019 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, in 2023 following a dexa I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Today a rheumatologist told me despite negative blood tests he was pretty certain I have PMR and after further blood tests wants me to start taking prednisone. I chose not to take meds for the osteoporosis

Whoops! I made a boo-boo.
A week ago I visited the rheumatologist, who prescribed reducing Prednisone from 5mg to 4g daily and adding 20mg hydrocortisone. All part of the wean-off steroids.Stupidly, and because I was massively distracted by life circumstances, I didn't take in her instructions properly and reduced overnight

Prednisone query
HI all Just need a bit of info please. Saw GP on Thursday, who I think is a little in the dark about PMR, he said he has never seen a case before, but reads all the guidance. I started at 15mg and great results. After 3 weeks went to 12.5mg, also comfortable, then on hi guidance, went to 10mg after
