Been at 1 mg prednisone for a week
Since going on meth and hydroxy, been able to steadily drop prednisone. Everything feels reasonably ok except for occasional morning stiffness which is odd as I dont feel stiff when I get up during the night like around 3 or 4 am. I still have awful and annoying middle fnger issues, the right one can

confused
I had my second appointment with the rheumatologist and left feeling confused. I’ve been taking 20mg prednisolone for two weeks and the improvement has been amazing. I no longer waddle when I walk and I’m not being kept awake every time I move in bed. I can reach up to open a window when I wake up and

Hair loss- PMR- Prednisolone
A while back my hair was coming out quite a lot, I was wearing it long but had it cut which seemed to help quite a bit, but now it has started to get worse again. Is this due to steroids or PMR? Does anyone have the same experience? I find it quite distressing to have so much coming out every time I

Tips or advice to help calm autoimmune flare ups at home??
I have had a few flare ups with this new medicine which is not unexpected but as much as I like Prednisone my doctor does not. Prednisone is the current treatment for flare ups but she does not do a standing order just case by case and her appointments book week to months in advance so hard to always

Sore Throat
I’m currently down to 4mg of prednisolone and have a constant sore throat and dry mouth during the night . Is this normal ? What can I do to relieve the soreness and will it eventually improve as I reduce my steroids?

First blood tests since starting Abi.
Yesterday I saw the MO and when he entered the room he had a bid smile. My Psa that had climbed from 6.6 in March to 19.14 on Sept. 5 had dropped to 4.74 yesterday. ALP was 141 Sept 5 and down to 114 yesterday. I started taking low dose Abi on Sept 9 so total treatment was 24 days. To say he was happy

How early should I take pred in the morning?
Hi everyone, I've been taking my pred around 7am every morning. However, for the past month I've been going to sleep earlier (9 pm) and waking up earlier (5 am). So . . . Should I take my prednisone earlier? To clarify, I'm down to 7.5 mg (8 and 7 on alternating days) and I want to wake up my adrenals

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) For PD And Much Much More

Possible GCA and Treatment Questions
I have been diagnosed with PMR for 4 years and have been on prednisone the whole time. I have learned to reduce slowly because I will flare if I move too quickly. Recently I have been on 2mg a day for the last 6 months feeling good and ready to move to a lower mg. I am an active 69 yr old and walk

1 year Anniversary off Pred
June 2019 got diagnosed in the Emergency Room with PMR and prescribed 80 mg / day Prednisone. Mid-late September 2022 weaned off of Pred literally following the 10 percent rule post 10 mg / d, even going so far as cutting 1 mg in quarters to be able to do 0.25 mg decreases as I got below 3 mg / d. Took

Flare while tapering--need guidance
I have been on prednisone for about 2 1/2 years. I recently got down to 8 mg a day for about 3 months with NO PAIN (oh the bliss...). I went to 7.5 mg about 3 1/2 weeks ago and am having a major flare. I know it has been discussed a lot on here, but I can't find a concise summary of how to deal with

Odd thyroid test results
I also belong to the PMRAuk group as I was diagnosed with PMR mid 2020. I also have hypothyroidism dating back to mid 1980s. I recently took one more step down to 3mg Prednisone after being on it for over 3 years and a very long tapering process with a couple of flares to slow things down. But my question

delaying Prednisolone by a few hours
hello, back again for some advice. I was diagnosed with PMR/GCA three and a half years ago and after a relapse I am now on 4mg. Next week I will have an abdominal and urinary tract ultrasound at 11am. I was instructed not to eat or drink for 6 hours before and to drink one litre of water one hour before
