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

Xtandi side effect full body rash
Has anyone had a side effect when taking Xtandi. An allergic reaction of full body itchy burning unbearable rash after taking it a week. Took Abiraterone for 4 years with no side effects. PSA started to rise so was switched to Xtandi. They took me off the drug but the rash is horrible. taking prednisone

5mg reduction in prednisone a day!
Recently I had another GCA scare and the doctor raised my pred from 5mg a day to 30mg. - however, when the scare was over I was told to come down 5mg a day. 30 - 25 - 20 - 15 etc. I felt dreadful. Has anyone else come down so sharply - my entire system is still going through it - even though I’

how quickly did you feel relief by taking prednisolone?
posted before about potential PMR. Painful bilateral shoulders, upper and lower back pain, neck pain, sacroiliac, thigh pain etc. raised. Inflammation markers so prescribed 15mg prednisolone with repeat bloods after 2 weeks. Just wondering if this is PMR, how soon can I possibly find some relief?

Tooth pulled, then dizzy
After a molar tooth was pulled I started getting headaches and two weeks plus I still have them. And now I am dizzy. I am six years into PMR on 6 mg per day of prednisone and doing fine until the tooth was pulled. Question: has anyone else had an episode like this? Thank you for your thoughts.

titrating down Prednisolone
Titrating down your prednisolone becomes more problematic the lower the dose you are on so the reaction can be more profound, e.g if you are on 4mg for example & you reduce 1mg that is actually 25%. I titrate down 1mg every 6 weeks & have found I am having ‘withdrawal symptoms more than before so have

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then. He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg Prednisone for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was

It'll be fine
I had my six month checkups and sometimes had to be numbed for a crown repair etc. There was never a problem. An extraction goes pretty quickly. It'll be over in minutes. You'll be fine. I assume your dentist knows you are taking prednisone so don't give it a thought.Good luck.

Post PMR treatment
Even though I completed prednisone for PMR in June 2022 & my blood work has been good. I am still on an anti inflammatory diet (basically a gluten & dairy free mediterranean diet). I find that I tire more easily & for longer periods. Sometimes I feel a stiffness as if a flare up is returning but

Anyone have success after several donor egg FET transfers?
Hi everyone I'm 45 years old and have done 5 FET transfers with only one positive (a chemical pregnancy that was an early loss.) I told myself I was done with IVF, but part of me wants to try one more time. I have done all the testing imaginable- karyotype, genetic, immune, ERA, emdomitritis etc- all

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.) He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.) His PetScan shows some growth (

cortisone shot while on prednisone
Now slow tapering from 3.5 to 3 of prednisone and my left hip is starting to have discomfort. (Actually a noted issue for me over the last 5years) X-rays show some minor arthritis and orthopedic doctor suggests guided cortisone shot. He said it shouldn’t impact my prednisone tapering since it’s very

PSA increasing
My Dad’s PSA started increasing 2.5 years after diagnosis. It was 0.008 in December, 0.024 at the beginning of March and 0.029 on yesterday. Please advise. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. He is still taking Lupron, Abiraterone and Prednisone 10 mg that were started back in September of 2021.

To take or not to take daily dose of Prednisone before or after blood work (ESR and CRP), that is the question!
I'm going for blood work tomorrow morning, to check inflammatory markers, though not blood sugars as they have always been normal, so I can have breakfast beforehand. I usually take my Pred with breakfast (3.5 mg). Should I take my Pred as usual with breakfast before the tests or wait until afterwards

Was there ever really a chance for a cure?
When I began the Stampede protocol 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was my understanding that two years of Zytiga/Prednisone and three years of Lupon with radiation to the pelvic area at the 7 mo - 1 yr mark gave a chance for a "cure" under my conditions (3+4 gleason, etc). Now, my non-medical view of things is convincing

Baker’s Cyst, Medial Meniscus tears
Quick recap - was diagnosed with PMR in May 2021 after 5 months of symptoms. Was put on 40 mg of Prednisone daily to start because of the GP’s worry it could be GCA. I’m currently on 4.25 mg and starting to slowly reduce to 4 mg. The summer of 2022, I noticed that I had a lump behind my knee. I showed

All in my mind, apparently!!!
I’d be most interested in opinions on this. Had a telephone conversation with my Rheumy a few weeks ago, which was 9 months since the last one – in a year when I had experienced considerable stress in Health, Work and Bereavement. I explained that I had tried to reduce the 20mg Methotrexate dose to

Dental work- loosing a tooth
Hello! What a wonderful forum. I thank everyone for their knowledge & experience & I’m so appreciative! I wanted to check on having a tooth pulled and being on 8mg prednisone. I’ll be numbed ofcourse and the deed will be done. Don’t know if I need to worry… but probably will do so anyway. Thank

Update and about to start Radiation
Hi all - just a summary so far. Have been doing the triplet and recently finished the 6 sessions of chemo. Had my CT and Bone scans and then follow up with MO on Friday. All is as we expect - nothing shown in CT. Bone scan shows no new "uptake" in the mets places and nothing new. PSA at .41. I am
