prednisone
Hi, Could someone please tell me what is considered a high daily dose of prednisone? How long on a higher dose are you at risk of the side effects of regular usage. Thank you! BW Rob

omeprazole query
is it advisable to keep taking Omeprazole before taking prednisolone as my doctor prescribes, or would breakfast eating beforehand be as effective? (In the interests of taking less drugs than absolutely necessary).

foggy
I have brain fog from both fibromyalgia and PMR. It’s so embarrassing! Sometimes I cannot finish a sentence or pronounce a word correctly. I read that prednisone is the cause of brain fog in PMR; but, if so, why does it also come from fibro, for which you don’t take prednisone? I’d believe more quickly

Extra pred worked
So.....yesterday (Fri 20th Oct) my son and now DIL, were married. I took an extra 2mgs of prednisolone the day before & yesterday, and had the most incredible day. I was even on the dance floor strutting my stuff at 11.45pm! Just an extra 2mgs (and careful 'pacing') allowed me to embrace every moment

Prednisone and Muscles
A concern stemming from the very few questions I was able to successfully ask of the new to me Rheumatologist without being sssshhh'd.... She ordered a Muscle Enzyme Creatine Kinase lab test be performed, as did my GP a month earlier and after comparing the results, it had dropped significantly from

Why did my Rheumatologist Up my Prednisone?
Was dx'ed with GAC early October after going to Emerg. Long story short, I have been tapering prednisone since and was down from 60 to 12.5 mg using a tapering schedule given to me by my general practitioner. Finally got accepted by a Rheumatologist through referral and saw her yesterday. I had no complaints

Taper Complete…
I have stopped taking prednisone after 18 months of use and slowly reducing the dose. It has been just 2 weeks, so I know my PMR misadventure will still be ongoing. I am very grateful for the support and insight that I have received via this online group. I have been doing okay in terms of pain. Fatigue

Side Effects Damaging Kidneys and Liver
Hi All, I am in Florida, USA. I am a 70 year old female, diagnosed with RA in 2021. I have been on Meloxicam, Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, and most recently Leflunomide, as well as Prednisone. None of the meds put me into remission. At best I had a 70% reduction in symptoms. I was taken off Methotrexate

Prednisone 5mg tablets
Good morning everyone. Is it normal to have to take 8 of these tablets all at once Dissolved in water. It seems a lot all at once and I wasn't told what they would do. Many thanks. Brian

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04

GCA and type 2 diabetes
Hi all Warriors Since being on prednisone (since July 2023 at 60mg, now at l6mg) my A1C has slowly crept up. Had blood work yesterday and A1C is now at 7.1. I have been told by my rheumy this is steroid induced and will start going down as I taper. Even though I have been tapering by 1mg every 2

Advice please with cold and PMR
For the first time in nearly a year, I have a cold and where I before just go on with it, I am feeling terrible! My body aches so much from my shoulders to the groin and neck and wondering if is this normal when having an autoimmune disease. Should I increase my prednisone until this passes as not sure

Acute pericarditis following 1 high steroid dose.
hello I experienced pericarditis about 17 years ago following a cold. I had one mild relapse about 6 months later which is when I was diagnosed with pericarditis by GP . Since then nothing until now. 2 days ago I was prescribed a high dose of prednisone steroids (60mg per day) for an unrelated ear
