Colonoscopy and Prednisolone
I am booked for a colonoscopy on 21 December at 2:40 pm. I have no other details and await a nurse to ring prior to the procedure. This news has not helped my anxiety, which has, of late increased to a high level for various reasons. I’ve read, and heard from friends, many horror stories about the medication

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.

PMR/Prednisolone and dental implants
Hi, I’m enquiring as to whether anyone else has experienced issues with their dental implants since being diagnosed with PMR and taking Prednisolone. I’ve been having trouble with one of my dental implants for a couple of weeks and on seeing the dentist today have been told that the implant has loosened

was it the wrong time to take myself off ibandronic acid?
Hello folks, feeling a bit out of my depths at the moment. I am now 5 years on prednisolone and, after discovering this wonderful forum was on a very slow tapering, got to 6.5 mgs but a bad cold followed by stressful events and I’m back to 7.5 mgs. My husband has recently been diagnosed with non-hodgkins

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

Raised calcium levels on prednisolone for pmr and long term lithium
my calcium levels are raised and have been for some time. At the last blood test they were 0.61. They have been 0.64. I’m not sure when the alarm bells will ring for the medical profession. A GP at our practice would not refer me to an NHS endocrinologist. I have been to see one privately. I have done

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

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

PMR & GCA: A Survival Guide
Book arrived yesterday afternoon - thank you to all who referenced it in your posts to me - it's read and about to be re-read! It's the first engaging piece of literature that I've been able to concentrate on for months! (for some reason I can't access the website www.polywotsit.com - does it still exist
