Reduced prednisolone - rapid onset of discomfort but ? PMR or coincidence - what dose next?
To update from my history, I reduced pred to 5mg daily (taken after breakfast) on 13.2.23. About 2 weeks later I developed some return of stiffness in shoulders/neck/pelvis and this increased a little into March. By 10.3.23 I also developed lower back pain and my left hand seemed puffy and very sore

Victory with scrip mess
I trust. Been told the scrip has been issued. With my luck the chemist's will mislay it. No, I didn't say that. I took on board Body_bonkers' point about their receiving many letters and at the weekend opened a second front, sending the following through their messaging system I[i] shall run out

GCA or not
Hello, I posted last month about some head pain. After seeing a neurologist, who could not explain what may be going on to my Rhumy thinking it’s not a GCA flair, my question is. If I just let this slight discomfort in my head go, do nothing and it is GCA is there any risk? It is a very dull feeling

Prednisone side effects
I've been on Lupron/Abi/Pred for about 13 months. Never had high blood pressure prior to this ADT treatment. Was warned that high BP was one of the primary side effects of my treatment plan. Pretty quickly, I developed elevated BP and I am on 50mg of Losartan daily. 25mg wasn't enough. I am also

Dropping to 5mg prednisone, just 5 in the AM. And hand xrays show mild osteoarthritis
I do also now have an orthopedic hand specialist appointment on Sept 2, my PIP middle finger joint right hand hurts a lot and cannot straighten it out all the way. I suppose I could have trigger finger and OA at the same time. Steady dropping of the pred is not bringing back any PMR pains, I do notice

Actemra problems.
My husband has been on Actemra for about two months and hasn't had any of the side affects that have been mentioned so far. However, he is ta king it because he has GCA and it was suggested it would help him get off some of the prednisone he is taking 25g when we started. He's down to 19g now but he

Alendronic Acid
It has been recommended that I take Alendronic Acid to protect my bones whilst taking Prednisone as I now have Osteoporosis. To be honest given the potential horrendous side effects of Alendronic Acid which on top of those of taking Prednisone and of course the impact of having GCA I am reluctant to

Going to start prednisolone steroids 😳
hi, I’m taking Cortiment steroids which worked for the first 2.5 months but the last 2 months I have been getting bouts of diarrhoea. Therefore, i am now going to try prednisone! Hopefully it will work for me then I will start the Adalimumab injections. It’s all very overwhelming and the side

When to take emergency pack?
Started with a very sore throat, bad head 12 days ago. Soon turned into a streaming cold. Negative Covid test. For the past 5 days my breathing has been poor, chesty cough, wheezing etc. I've been taking extra blue inhaler and upped my steroid inhaler. Feel awful, lightheaded and breathless. Last night

Pfizer jab PMR
Hi All I’ve just been diagnosed with PMR my crp was 105, my symptoms virtually disappeared after 4 hours of taking 15mg of prednisolone last Saturday and things are nearly back to normal. I was a relatively fit and healthy 56 year old female. 14 months ago I started to get aches and pains on waking

Heart rhythm workup. Increase prednisone?
I have been tapering down to 7 1/2 from 7 3/4. Last week I had an episode a very fast pulse and extremely high blood pressure and went to the hospital. Of course the vital signs were perfect in the hospital the next day, my doctor had a special monitor applied. Called ZiO. The purpose is to catch any

Kevzara and Prednisone Tapering before and during Kevzara
I recently stated with Kevzara and I am interested in those who are currently on prednisone and Kevzara. I would like to know… 1. What was your starting dosage of prednisone and how long have your been taking prednisone? 2. What was your daily dose of prednisone before Kevzara? 3. What was your prednisone

knee replacement
saw a private Dr yesterday about my knee. The complete opposite to what my NHS consultant said. He says right away it’s swollen - I said it’s been like that most of the past 5 years / am used to it and hopping along. Quick run through my health and where am at and says of course you need a knee replacement

Hello everyone. I was truly convinced that I had taken my 4.5 mg ec coated Prednisolone last night at 23:00 but was feeling a bit rubbish all day at work. By chance I checked my dossette box when home and found I hadn’t taken it at all. I was convinced I had taken it. No wonder I was feeling unwell

Mangled and potentially dangerous prescriptions
Department of Anything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong. Letter to my GP, real one with stamp and envelope, since messages appear ill-absorbed. My Prednisolone prescription was and should be a single package of 5 mg and 1 mg tabs in a 12-week cycle. 84 x 5 mg for 12 weeks and 168 x 1 mg for 4 weeks

Prednisone
Hi I'm being prescribed Prednisone. Can anyone give advice on this medication. Not taken it before and I've been told about the side effects. Half of me thinks stuff it and just take the stuff, the other half is saying hang on an think about it.
