Hello, it has been a nightmare for me since November. My rheumatologist retired in November. His partner took over and has canceled three appointments with him. He will not respond to any of my questions since I have not seen him. He refers me to my GP who refers me back to him. I have been dealing with

Taper question
Hi All, I’ve only joined you last week and I have found the help invaluable. I have a question around tapering. I was on a 2 week dose of 50mg prednisone, reducing to 40mg for 2 weeks. The 50mg was good and symptom free, I have been on 40mg for a week now and have just started to experience some

Steroid induced diabetes
I haven't seen too much about steroid induced diabetes. I was diagnosed with diabetes shortly after being put on Prednisone for PMR. It definitely changed my eating habits but I was able to control it with few carbs and more exercise. I was told that it might clear out as I taper off the steroids.

Symptoms (?) at lower levels
Diagnosed with PMR in Jan. '23 and put at 20mg prednisone. Have now tapered slowly down to 3mg without much problem. Every time I start a taper of .5mg I do have a slight increase of pain for two to three weeks but then it fades. Now, between 3.5 and 3mg I am also having increased weakness and general

upcoming cataract surgery
Any advice? do I take prednisone after surgery since I will be fasting overnight? How long do I have to wait until I can bend over? Does it take longer to heal with prednisone? I'm on 3 mg.

Rheumatologist response
Thank you to all who are responding and helping me make decisions. Some day it will be me helping others, I promise. Recap: I have been dealing with pmr for 4 years. For the last year I have been on 4.5 mg and I have felt only moderate pain, some days none. 6 weeks or so ago, however, the pain increased

Metabolic changes from prednisone
I have been on prednisone since July of 2021. Several failed attempts to taper but am presently at 3 mgs after changing diet dramatically. Had blood tests a month ago and cholesterol is one third higher than normal range. GP tells me that prednisone can cause metabolic changes by increasing blood

Herpes (or acyclovir usage) affecting implantation after ivf embryo transfer?
I have had herpes for about 10 years. I have noticed more outbreaks during stims. I've already had 2 failed transfers and am worried both that having herpes and /or taking acyclovir will affect implantation for my last transfer. I've read some conflicting studies on acyclovir and it's effect on implantation

prednisone taper
I finally got an appointment today with the rheumatologist-May 28th. In the meantime, I would like to get off the prednisone, but not sure how to do it. My primary Dr told me to take 10 mg, but I was having some pain, mostly shoulder and upper arms, so I increased it to 12.5 for the past week. I’m gaining
