Tapering prednisolone and PMR flare ups
Hello, this is probably a very frequently asked question, sorry. I was diagnosed with both PMR and GCA in March 2022 and immediately put on 60mg prednisolone which fixed my symptoms in a few days. Since then I've been tapering successfully until I lowered the dose from 4mg to 3mg. I was feeling fine

Prednisone tapering
I've been tapering off prednisone which initially was 30 mg daily by 1 mg every 3 days on dr's and rheumatologist advice. (Was diagnosed with PMR then changed to fibromyalgia). I was also taking tumeric supplements which i stopped on saturday. As of today I am on 7 mg. My question is: the last 2 days

BRONCHIECTASIS….PLUS Allergic to medical face mask…any non polypropylene/TPE ones available?
Hi I’m having a nightmare with my bronchiectasis, I’ve had numerous exacerbations this year, use my rescue pack and prednisone when needed…cant remember being well in all honesty. I had HIB in April and given Levofloxacin as Doxycycline won’t shift my HIB. Think I had HIB in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2023

Recent carpal tunnel, trochanter bursitis, and maybe shoulder bursitis
I've had PMR/GCA for 5 years, and I'm currently at 3 mg prednisone. I haven't had any PMR/GCA symptoms for over a year (one PMR flare in 2022 and one GCA flare in 2020). In May I developed carpal tunnel in both hands/wrists, then in July trochanter bursitis and shoulder pain/tenderness that I think

Supplements and self-care

GCA relapse?
I finally tapered off steroids April 2023 after 18 months. Over the last few weeks my headaches have returned daily- bilateral temples. My head just feels woozy and ‘full’ . Hard to describe. Scalp ‘burns’ but is not sensitive to touch. So fatigued I just can’t do much of anything. Went to rheum and

Steroid Insomnia
hi, I’ve been on prednisolone now since start of May and we’ve tried to wean twice and both times ended up back at 40mg. I’m now back on a weaning course of pred for the next 4 weeks I think all being well. Anyway, I’m really struggling to sleep between my asthma flaring and the high doses of pred.

Minor injury - should I have adjusted my dosage?
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in 2020 and have been tapering my prednisolone slowly: just reached 2mg and all seems well. Yesterday I tripped and fell on the city pavement, and was lucky to escape with only minor injuries, which came mainly from putting out my hand to break my fall. I’m just back from
