The plexopathy continues
After speaking to the consultant again he is saying to maintain long term on a low dose of Prednisolone. I'm back I agony so I have to do something. The Gabapentin isn't helping in the slightest so I'm coming off it slowly. I asked if there was an alternative to the Prednisolone and he mentioned methotrexate

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

Curious about Prednisone dosage.
Warriors If you do not mind telling me, I am curious about how many of you on Zytiga/Abiraterone take a 5 mg dosage of Prednisone , and how many take some other dosage level. I know most of your also getting Lupron injections and some are taking other medications along with the Zytiga/Abiraterone

Morning Stiffness still alive and kicking after 4+ years of treatment!
Hello to everyone. It's been 6 months since I last posted. I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in February of 2020. Though I am positive I had it for at least a year before being diagnosed. I was down to 2 mg of Prednisone the last time I posted. Did not do well on that low dosage. Went back up to 7 mg.

Pneumonia vaccination
Hi all. I have recently returned to Spain for the foreseeable future and managed to get my covid vaccination shortly after my arrival a few weeks ago. I had my flu vaccination in the UK just before we came out. I have to say that I have responded well to both vaccinations with no adverse side effects

t3 only treatment need advice
When i got hypo i figured out fast that t4 only only worsend everything. My doc added 10 t3 it was better but not optimal. She put me on 4 Grain NDT and i did well for 2 years. Then got one symptom and we played with NDT dosages lower, higher, brands and a combo with NDT plus 10 T3... I transitioned

Hi all. Have been diagnosed with GCA since January. Doctor at the hospital started me on 40mls Prednisone (from which I have had terrible side effects) I am now from this morning down to 12.5ml, but last night in bed have had bad headache and tenderness on the forehead. Definitely feels like a flare

My journey with Polymyalgia Rheumatica
I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica in August of 2022 so I’m now approaching my 2 year mark which will be August of 2024. I am blessed to have a good family doctor who diagnosed me quickly and referred me to an equally good rheumatologist. Now the only question is how to conquer the beast. Like

skin tears
I have vasculitis, MPA, microscopic Polyangiitis, and have been on prednisone for 3 years. Currently I am on 2.5 mg. Recently I developed several skin tears on my legs. Saw my rheumatologist yesterday and he told me to stop the prednisone. Suggestions please…can I just stop the 2.5 or should I taper

Biotin interference with Thyroid bloodwork
I am due for follow up blood work and just remembered that biotin interferes with the test results. How far in advance must I quit taking my B complex which has 100% daily requirement of Biotin? My last TSH a few months ago was .03, super low for me. I usually run between 1.5 and 2. But my FT4 was

What exclusionary tests should I ask my doctor for? IL-6 inflammation tests? + other random PMR questions
I'm a 44-year old woman fairly confident I have PMR due to the symptoms I've experienced & the dramatic success of prednisone in treating them. (I put a longer backstory in my profile - which I'm assuming you can access.) I worry somewhat about GCA involvement because when my symptoms have been strong
