I am down to 2mg prednisone. Not noticing typical PMR symptoms
After I got on Methotrexate and Hydroxychloroquine, the right hand wrist and finger swelling went away, and I was able to start dropping pred from 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 now. While I am glad for this, I am mad that only a rheumy was smart-experienced enough to think of it, I likely could have saved months

Lung x ray scare
I had covid in April so I was sent to specialist to have breathing tests.Now I had another lung x ray and got a call from my family dr for a dye x ray.Could the prednisone caused lung damage?Scared to death now.

update on leg pain with rheumatology nurse
thought I’d update you all. Rheumatology nurse called, and says if prednisolone is helping the pains, it’s not AS. I challenged her saying if AS is flaring it’s due to inflammation, and prednisolone is prescribed specifically to reduce inflammation, and would be expected to improve symptoms. To which

Neutrophils Crash
I have been on 25mg Mtx with 5mg Prednisolone and folic acid daily - largely successfully for a couple of years. 10mg Leflunomide was added and since then I’ve had several issues. Most recently over a couple of months my WBC and neutrophils has crashed (0.8 for latter) resulting in bad mouth ulcers

severe leg pain with leg buckling
I recently had a lovely holiday in Devon, where I probably pushed myself too much, and ended up with my ankylosing spondylitis flaring. 12 days ago, I started getting moderate pain n my thigh and knee, and the thigh would suddenly feel like jelly and buckle under me. This resulted in me falling in the

Severe Itching
Thank you for all your kind responses. So after 2 days on prednisone and hydroxyzine, the itch is lessening. Herb's oncologist thinks this is a side effect of the Keytruda treatments for cancer that Herb started monthly this year. So now we gave to decide whether to discontinue the treatments or face

Fatigue
Since being diagnosed with an inflammatory disorder three years ago I have suffered with various symptoms most of which are now well controlled and stable. The severe pain in my joints and other parts of my body and the excruciatingly painful headaches thankfully seem to be kept at bay by medication

STILL ON THE BED...MOSTLY..10TH WEEK
As some are aware, my back issues have been ongoing, but yesterday morning I woke with what feels like a cracked rib. Left side, bottom rib, tenderest spot being about 3 inches to left of the clavicle. Extremely painful. This rib was broken many years ago. Could also be as spasmed muscle, as it reaches

overheating and PMR
I have had polymyalgia for 18 months, and at the beginning, there was a thought that I was developing GCA. However, the rheumy discounted this and after starting on steroids at 60 mg I quickly reduced to 10. I stayed on this for sometime because of stressful family issues. However, over the last six

Scalp pain
I am getting so frustrated. I have now seen 3 primary care doctors and one rheumatologist. I've had possible diagnoses of either PMR or fibromyalgia None of the 4 can tell me why I have scalp pain, pink scalp and very sore, itchy scalp. None can tell me why I have constant hot flashes. I can't take

Not fair!
I woke up this morning with crushing fatigue and mind-boggling pain. It took me a little bit before I realized that my PMR is back. I put a call into my rheumatologist for a prescription for 20 mg prednisone. Can anyone tell me about how long it took for the pain to subside after starting prednisone.

moving pain
I am on my 3rd day of prednisolone, 20 mg after being diagnosed with pmr. Although I am experiencing less pain and stiffness than before the pain seems to vary where to attack. Yesterday it was only my shoulders and upper arms and today it’s only my left hip and thigh. Is this a thing??

Is this PMR?
Hello I'm new to this site and to the world of PMR. Hoping to get some guidance from this lovely community. My GP has diagnosed me with PMR at 42 and I'm not entirely convinced as I don't fit the symptoms of aches and stiffness in the shoulders and hips. This all started in March 23 where I woke

Severe itching
We went to ER today because rash and itching are escalating. They gave him a cortisone shot and a benedryl shot. So far, it has not made a difference. They gave him script for prednisone and hydroxyzine. We have appt to see oncologist tomorrow. Something has to give. He is getting no sleep.
