Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working

running out of Zytiga….
due to pre Auth issues I am going to run out of Zytiga …..I’m guessing I’ll be without it for at least a few days possibly a week…..haven’t heard back from MO about how to make the best use of what I have left and whether I should continue to take the prednisone. I have 4 days left at this point…..

Info about docetaxel
I have been at Stage 4 for 7 1/2 years. and a succession of Xtandi, Nubequa, and Zytega along with Lupron has kept my PSA under two although each has eventually failed (PSA quickly rising above 1.0). My recent blood draw resulted in a jump from 0.78 to 1.29 while I was on the Aberaterone/prednisone protocol

Insufficiency Fracture - likely cause - Prednisilone
I saw an orthopaedic Fracture surgeon last week following an MRI on my right knee to investigate knee pain. She reported a small meniscus tear and a small piece of detached cartilage. However she also reported an Insufficiency Fracture in the femur which she thinks may have been caused by Prednisolone

Nasty fall and Lupus
hi all, I haven’t been writing on here for some time. On 6/7/23 I fell out of my disability stair lift from the top of our steep stairs at home! I flipped over, landed on my back and fell down the stairs and landed on the hallway floor on my head. I knocked myself out, fractured my skull, had a brain

To walk or not to walk?
I've recently been diagnosed with PMR and started on 15mg of Prednisolone which has now been reduced to 12mg. The meds are defiitely working but the stiffness has come back over the last few days. Do people 'work through it' and move and exercise or rest? I've tried both, and the pain and stiffness seem

1.5 mgs now blood tests all over the place
So I am into my third year with pmr. I have been at 1.5 mg prednisone for 2 weeks and had my quarterly bloodwork done. Ana is now positive. It was negative last quarter. I am positive for Sjogrens but I don't have any symptoms. Is this because of my lower dosage? I am a little stiff and slow , but

Quick question about blood tests
Diagnosed in early November; struggling with flares so I am presently alternating between 17 and 16mg prednisone. Blood tests this week (Sed rate and C-reactive) came back normal. Is that odd? I have a first appointment with rheumatologist on Monday next week. Thanks for advice.

Hello, I have been told my PMR is gone. I am on 7 mg Prednisone. and trying to taper to 0. I am taking one 5mg. and two 1mg to make 7mg. Yesterday, I took off an extremely tiny corner of a 1 mg away with my fingernail. So, I took 6 7/8mg of Prednisone yesterday instead of 7mg. Today I have

PMR or PsA or both
My Rheumatologist left the practice and I meet with a new one last week. He says that he is not sure I have PsA but maybe only PMR. Wants me to stop methotrexate immediately and try reducing prednisone my 1 mg a month. Currently are 12.0 mg. Happy about this nut scared too. If he is wrong, when and

Trying to figure this out.
I was placed on a medication ( diltiazem) for atrial fibrillation) . It turns out it inhibits steroid clearance from the body. I am also on Breo ( fluticasone (steroid ) for asthma. I was off Breo for awhile and restarted( we thought it may have triggered AF) but it didn’t. Since I am in the Breo I feel

Progress
After just over seven months have finally made it to 10mg prednisolone (from 50mg) and feel like celebrating ! I would not be in this position if it were not for this fabulous supportive group - THANK YOU so much. You've given me confidence to question the medical establishment even though it is still

switching to a carnivore diet has put my PMR into total remission
I know the subject may be viewed as sensational or just plain wrong, but that is what I have concluded. At the time I was diagnosed with PMR, I already had diagnoses of psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia. My PMR started in 2019, about 8 months prior to covid. I was put on prednisone and experienced

lowering prednisolone
I have had pmg since last September and have very gradually lowered my dose from 15mg to 1mg. which I have been on for the last six weeks. I decided to try to go without steroids for the last two days and apart from the usual shoulder ach when getting up, so far so good, I am now worried about getting
