PMR with type 2 diabetes
I had type two diabetes before I was diagnosed with PMR and I think this is why my GP wants me to get down as quickly as possible from prednisolone as it affects my blood sugar level. For the last three months I have been going up and down because I just cannot seem to get rid of the pain. I got as

bleeding at 6 weeks- clexane?
ladies is anyone else on aspirin (I’m on 75mg), clexane and prednisone? I had a bleed at 5am this morning (I’m 6 weeks, 3 days) and am going to get a scan tomorrow to check on things. I’m taking clexane every other day and wondering if I should take it today after the bleed?

osteoporosis diagnosis
Hello I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in November 2018 and have been slowly tapering my prednisone from 60 mg to 4.5 mg currently. I was prescribed AA and vit D/K at the same time. As I have been on AA for 5 years I asked for a dexa scan so that hopefully I could have a holiday from AA. However much

Is it the Shingles vaccination or Prednisone reduction?
I was on the third week of lowering pred dose from 5mg to 4.5 using the five week go slow method. I was feeling good. The day after the Shingles injection I began to feel ill with severe stomach pains digestive upset, headache, lightheaded, Insomnia but extreme tiredness. Could it be simply the fact

Started reducing so updated profile
To keep my profile updated, I've added that having been on 15 mg prednisolone for the six weeks since being diagnosed with PMR, my doctor yesterday recommended reducing by 2.5. That felt a bit much, so I've opted for a 1.25 reduction to see how that feels, and I've found I'm noticeably (though not

A Scary Situation with a Missed Dose
A quick story and a word of caution to my friends here. I accidently missed my bedtime dose of prednisone and was shocked at the result. Here’s what happened. I am currently on 19 mg after a long struggle with PMR and a GCA appearance (treated with high dose and now inactive). I’m making efforts to

New treatment plan GCA
Hi! I met with my rheumy yesterday and now seven months into my treatment for GCA. Initially I was told that I would be on Actemra for one year with Prednisone and then Methotrexate. Yesterday, I was informed that there will be no Methotrexate and from month ten, I move to fortnightly Actemra injections

I have chronic pancreatitis treated with Creon but I just discovered why and that I had additional issues. I has an MRI/MRCP, which disclosed I have 4 cysts on my pancreas and I have autoimmune cirrhosis. The cysts are just under a cc so nothing can be done but wait and watch. I wanted him to treat cirrhosis

To jab or not to jab
Hi I was diagnosed January this year. I am on Prednisolone trying to taper to come off as I hate the effects. I have had 5 Covid jabs, 4 were Pfizer and the last one was Moderna, which I am convinced started PMR. I now wonder whether to have the next one as I am coping reasonably well and do not want

update on my wrist pain.
I am 77 years old and I've had PMR for 6 years. I'm now at 2mg. prednisone. (up from .75....ah, I was so hopeful a year ago) and over the last 3 months have been waking up with terrible pain in hand and thumb and wrist. Primary doc sent me for an EMG which showed moderately severe (whatever that means

Strange bunch of chronic conditions?
I was able to stop afib occurrences and most ectopics, mostly from losing weight, becoming vegan, and cutting back on meds. I have CKD (chronic kidney disease) which benefits from a vegan diet. Also lupus, which caused hemolytic anemia. My kidney scores are better now, almost normal, but I'm a little

My PMR is basically gone, but now I got shingles on my right side of face.
All the drugs I took, take lowers my immune system. No prednisone anymore, but Methotrexate lowers immune response. About 4 days ago, got shingles on my face and forehead. It is super pain, bad pain. Before the shingles, I felt like my eyes were infected, eyes and skin all red and sore. Pain not quite

GCA flare
Diagnosed April 2018 with PMR. Three months later GCA. I am currently on 3mgs prednisolone. Over the last two days have scalp pain on right side only … no jaw pain. It feels a bit like I am getting a cold sore but no cold sore showing up. Could it be a GCA flare? Thank you to everyone who replies.
