Anemia
I started on 80 mg of Prednisone in October of 2020. I am now taking 11 1/2 mg . I was just diagnosed with anemia. The last time I was diagnosed with anemia was in 2020 when I got GCA. I did not have anemia since then. Can taking Prednisone for almost 3 years be a cause of anemia? I will be going

What does "burn itself out" mean?
Greetings fellow pilgrims. My understanding is that PMR is caused by uncontrolled inflamation, and that the lack of control is caused by an inability to produce cortisol. Prednisone counters this. My question is, If this means my adrenal glands are not functioning properly, how will this ever change

Negative HLA-B27
Quick recap, Dr originally diagnosed me with PMR, put me on 30 mg prednisone 14 weeks ago. After no great improvement he advised me to taper off so am now reducing 1mg every 3 days, currently at 16 mg. Dr tested for HLA-B27 (possible AS or non seronegative spondylitis type but bloods showed up negative

Acid reflux
Anyone noticing difficulty swallowing along with acid reflux? I read that prednisone can cause this, causes the esophagus to not contract enough. I tried Pepcid but it's not helping.

Advice for future treatment of GCA /LVV
I wrote last week to say I had to have urgent PET scan as ESR 49 and CRP 10. Also letter said true iron deficiency. I expect to hear from consultant early next week, but as there is a “ difficult lead consultant who I dislike I want to be prepared….” I am on two and a half prednisolone daily

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
My son had a PSA of 20 just 3 mo after RRP last October 24th. Prior to that we had no idea from his test results that the PC was outside of the prostate. It had gone to his pelvic lymph nodes plus he’s tertiary five. He’s been on generic Zytiga and prednisone and Lupron and finished six weeks of IMRT

Stopped Tocilizumab, CRP rising, is it a GCA flare?
I'm hoping to find someone else who had GCA, has stopped taking steroids and stopped Tocilizumab (Actemra), to know how their journey went from then on without treatment. I was diagnosed with GCA over 3 years ago. I started with prednisone, then Tocilizumab injections plus prednisone, then the injections

Last chance saloon or what?
My most recent PSA score went up to 9.04 from 2.45 in March, 2.14 in January 1.05 in November and it was 0.61 in August. I finished Docetaxyl chemotherapy on 7th Septemb er last year so I've only been on Prostap with prednisolone since then. My onco says he will arrange urgent bone scan and full body

Is it normal or a flare??
Hi, I’m fairly new to the world of PMR and have found this site invaluable for information and support. I was diagnosed in May this year, started on 15 mg and relief from all pain was within hours. Reduced to 12.5 after a month and then after another month to 10mg which I am currently on. Now I am

GCA with Lupus
I was first diagnosed with PMR first about 10 years ago. That was quickly followed by diagnosis of lupus. After complaining of headache in right temple area for 3 years my rheumatologist had a biopsy done and I had GCA. Quickly put on prednisone and was on 6o mg for several weeks. Developed prednisone

Vacationing
Hi. I was wondering what you all do to prepare for a vacation when being on an airplane and change of air quality triggers your asthma? I haven’t traveled since before the pandemic but that was also the last time I had to take prednisone. I also used to travel for two weeks so I had time for my asthma

Weaning off of Zytiga and prednisone
How to wean off of Zytiga? I've been on one capsule (250mg) every other day with 5mg Prednisone everyday. How to wean off these drugs together?

does poor adrenal function until they work again increase CRP results?
As in your dropping the prednisone under 10 and down lower and lower? I just dropped today from 7.5 to 5, and don't yet feel any different.

My doctor won't acknowledge PMR without inflammation markers in blood tests.
I have been in unbelievable pain for seven months. Was vaguely suggested PMR by neurologist and given prednisone, I was well for about five months.after the trestment. The pain is back with a vengeance now in hips arms neck over and above not being able tp walk. Repeated visits to doctor blood tests

UTI infection
I have a UTI infection and so far two antibiotics have not worked, and I am allergic to most other kinds. I assume this shows how my immune system is not working well now thanks to prednisone and Kevzara and that an infection is what will finish me off rather than the PMR. Also having a temporal biopsy
