Help please Prednisolone advice/ experience appreciated Thks
I have not tested for NK cells and have had one failed FET, I don’t have many rounds left and whilst my ERA came back with no infection I’ve been trying to figure out if I need to do anything else. I’ve read about prednisolone and some clinics give us standard. Last year I developed vitaligio which is

GP has prescribed Alendronic Acid 70mg
Hi all My Dad’s GP has prescribed Alendronic Acid 70mg tablets without explaining why. My Dad is now on Adcal -D3 1x daily, 9mg Prednisolone daily and 1x weekly Alendronic Acid. Is it normal to be prescribed Alendronic Acid? Also, how far apart should this be taken from Pred? Thanks Lindsay

Trying to understand my inflammation
Hi all, I'm a GCA patient, having been diagnosed in AUG 2022. I started on 60 MG, and have weaned down to 12.5 MG at present. Forgive me for being "anal," but I'm an engineer and tend to think in terms of graphs, charts, etc. I thought I'd share the following graphs -- for 2 reasons. First, please

Water retention. Can it disappear, then reappear on a lower dose of Prednisone?
I found that moon face and weight improved when I reduced Prednisone below 10 mg/day. But now, many months later and a few days into 3.5 mg, my face is puffy again and I'm gaining a little weight (not much). I haven't changed anything in my diet. Hardly any carbs apart from wholemeal bread for breakfast

tapering, on methotrexate, additional painkillers
I am tapering down prednisone, under specialist advise, at 6mg for one month, alternate 5mg/6mg, then 5 mg over a three month period. I still have pain and have told him so but he wants to try this tapering regime. I’m also on weekly 10mg of methotrexate (on this for three months). I have to trust

Steroids and weak bones

side effect?
Has anyone else noticed a change in their food tastes as a side effect of Prednisolone? At the age of 67 I generally know what food & drink I like and I find that I don’t enjoy or even want a cup of tea any more for example. Fish is no longer on the menu, makes me feel slightly sick. Is this common

thin skin?
Hi my brothers in ADT - I'm 10 months in to a 2-year stint (so far) on Eligard and abiraterone + prednisone. Lately I find that my skin seems to tear and bleed very easily -- scraping against something that wouldn't even have broken the skin in the past ends up with a skin tear, or at best bleeding

I discovered Metoprolol may cause arthralgia- myalgia
https://www.the-rheumatologist.org/article/case-report-metoprolol-induced-arthralgia/ I decided to not take that beta-blocker anymore. I still will take Amlodipine and Lisinopril and may ask to go on carvedilol again and still have a bunch of carvedilol pills I can take. It was after I was switched

Lung symptoms vs eye and nose symptoms
To those who are on "systemic" drugs for allergic asthma, what do you notice in terms of control of your lung symptoms vs control of allergic symptoms in the eyes and the nose? Do the systemic drugs resolve the lungs, nose, and eye symptoms altogether, or do the drugs only work for some, but not for

Prednisone and the ongoing dental adventure
After my alarming experience of feeling majorly shaky during and after an orthodontist appointment a couple of weeks ago, I took an extra .5 mg pred this morning, so 2 mg instead of current 1.5, and seem to have weathered an appointment with a periodontist okay. Like last time I did some errands on

increase not enough?
i increased my husbands Prednisone to 10mg from 1.5 . Achiness/pain disappeared and most of the exhaustion and tingling in feet has disappeared but he is still a little tired. I’m thinking that I didn’t increase enough. I’m thinking that we didn’t increase enough. I know they said to increase 5mg above

GCA flair?
I have been on Actemra since October. I recently reduced my prednisone to 1mg a day. I am starting to get sharpe pain, they only last for a second but come and go mostly at night. One night they actually woke me up. I notice if I sleep on my right side my head feels odd in the morning. It’s like a feeling

Eye bleed and blurred vision
Hello everyone, I am having such a hard time these past months. i was seeing floaters and distorted shapes out of the side of my eyes. I was sent to an Opthamologist (as the Optha-Neurologist I had before told me that GCA isn't a neurological disease and referred me to this Opthamologist). Awhile

Not GCA or PMR after all.
in January 2022 I was prescribed Prednisolone for probable GCA. In February 2023 after MRI, CT and Pet scan I was told I didn’t have GCA or PMR and that my head pain was Trigeminal Neuralgia. During this time I had been tapering and finished Prednisolone in February. The rheumatologist referred me to

GCA and starting Actemra at 10 mg
Hello this is my second time with GCA. The first time (2017) I also had PMR and tapered prednisone over 4 years, very slowly. After almost a year off of prednisone completely I contacted GCA again and started again at 60mg prednisone. Actemra was not started until I was at 10 mg. currently I’m

Not PMR but now diagnosed with Polymyositis?
After being diagnosed for 5 months with PMR and being on (& tapering) Prednisone, with further blood tests, my Rheumy has concluded that it isn't PMR at all. He says that the Pred will help with the pain but the test indicate that it's Polymyositis. He want's me to continue the slow taper of the Pred
