ESR elevated, normal CRP
Hi there, I haven't posted for a while as I successfully came off the prednisolone in January this year (well, I thought successfully).Since then (on March 26th 2024) I had a cardiac catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF, so far so good although recovery has been a bit of a bumpy ride. I am experiencing

Basal cortisol test result
Following my previous post, I had blood taken on 10 June and have just phoned my GP surgery for the result, which was given as 396nmol/l. The GP had noted “no further suppression required”. I would now like to start reducing Prednisolone 1mg to 0.75mg using Dorset Lady’s 7-week reduction plan and see

asking for advice please? I started with PMR last October, as soon as I was prescribed 15 ml Prednisolone I felt like I had been given a magic wand. The medication has gradually been reduced & I am now down to 6mg. I have had no trouble ever since. About 4 days ago, I guessed I had pulled a muscle

Hi, everybody. I've not been on here for a while (the emails stopped for some reason), but here is my update. It has been 3 months since I tapered off prednisolone completely - and so far so good. I found taking my temperature gave a good indication of rising inflammation (for the initial PMR, a

PMR relapse?
I would be grateful for some advice! I was diagnosed with PMR end of 2022. I was put on 15 mg Prednisolone and started tapering around 2 months in. I stopped Pred December 23! Around 10 weeks ago started waking in early hours in bad pain chiefly in shoulders and hips but also shooting pains in limbs

pred plus methotrexate?
Tapered, slowly, to 3mg of Prednisolone.Stiff and achey legs and hips in the morning but gone by afternoon. Saw rheumatologist today who wants to increase pred to 6mg and add 15mg methotrexate once a week. Will review in 6 weeks. Inflammation levels in blood are high - 18 - would that be good reason

Hike in T-Score due to steroid use. Worrying.
Hi All, just yesterday I finally got results from my DEXA .scan which I had done on 3rd of April. My T Score was T-2.3 (osteopina). My last DEXA scan showed my T-Score as -1.7 and deemed to be ok. This is quite a hike and I'm quite upset by i seeing that T-2.5 is Osteoporosis. I am Prednisolone

Covid, covid test and tapering
Very slow tapering (DL style and working well) currently at 5mg prednisolone. Just into my 3rd year PMR diagnosis, when I contracted covid. Staying put at 5 mg now. PMR bouts of fatigue and sleepiness much worse this time though just starting to improve a little. not the case on my previous covid infection

Feeling dispirited having had a flying start to meds, now regressing. Advice
Diagnosed and prescribed 20mgs of prednisolone 5 days ago. Woke up the next morning and a miracle had occurred. 95% improvement, could get out of bed, dress etc... Yesterday some symptoms returned mildly, today only 50% if that. Shoulder, neck, arms, legs and hands stiff. Is this normal? I haven't overdone

Advice please.
I started my PMR and GCA journey June and July 2018. I am down to 5 .5mg prednisolone. Over the last10 days, I have had Temple area discomfort, and niggly bits of headache. Headache medication doesn't help with the headache. I was unable to lay on either side of my head during last night, and this morning

Advice re Tapering and Stressful Holiday to Japan
Hi lovely members, I’ve been more or less successfully tapering down to 7.5 / 7 mg of Prednisolone for GCA ( diagnosed last July). I am due to go to Japan for three weeks at the end of this month. I know I currently need a daily sleep and frequent tests to cope with life. Is it wise to keep up

Alendronic Acid
Hi I have been getting heartburn after taking Alendronic Acid recently. Am on weekly dose. Have been taking for 3 months. My Dexa scan came back normal and the Rheumy says to stay on until Prednisolone stops which would be at least next March. I want to stop now as would rather risk fractures
