Spring Covid booster - no longer on the list
Hi all, I wonder if anyone else has had this experience. I've always been on the CEV list and eligible for boosters. However, my GP surgery are telling me I am not eligible this time round. I have Lupus/APS and take prednisolone. On both counts I seem to qualify on the grounds of having a weakened

Which is the worst - Prednisolone or Methatrexate?
I’ve mentioned my position in reply to other’s posts, but briefly, Jan 2023 - having been convinced the MTX wasn’t making any difference, I asked to stop it but my Rheumy said no, but you can half your dose to 10mg (once a week). I was also on 1.5mg Pred with Rhuemy pushing me to reduce by .5 for

Two years after diagnosis
Just wanted to say hello and thanks to all for the information on here which I have found encouraging and helpful. I am 66, male and was diagnosed with PMR two years ago after the pain became so bad that I finally got in touch with my GP. I am now down to two mg of Prednisolone after a bit of a struggle

Is it Fibromyalgia?
I was diagnosed with PMR in January 2021 and started taking Prednisolone. The following November I fractured my humerus and while I was recovering began to experience pain in my lower back and legs to the extent that walking was very painful. I had an X-ray of my lumbar region which showed degenerative

Help please, Getting flare under control
I was trending quite well, down to 2.5mgs. Caught Covid two months and was put on antivirals and managed to escape any unwanted side effects of the virus. Unfortunately I started to experience symptoms of a flare of PMR. I increased my dose to 4mgs , then 4.5 and now 5mgs. It hasn’t made any difference

New to the group
I have been taking prednisolone for PMR for nearly 4 weeks and have my first review this week - I'm feeling fab since starting on pred - not taking any supplements yet - should I be asking about calcium and vitamin D at my review appointment?

The total amount of amassed prednisolone during treatment of PMR
I started treatment with Pred in June 2020. After a few ups and downs, I'm now at 7.5 reducing to 7 so I have taken in quite a bit of pred and face a further intake before (hopefully) the disease goes away. My question is: is there a level of total amassed pred beyond which permanent harm is done to

feeling weird after every meal
Hi . I am 5 years into GCA and am down to 5 mgs Prednisolone. I was on 4.5 mgs until a week ago when l realised l couldn’t cope with the fatigue, lower back pain ( stenosis) and weak heavy legs any more so l went back up to 5mgs. I have felt a lot better but something very strange and scary has started

Triple therapy and Prednisolone
As some of you may recall, I am doing (hopefully) the final taper, slowly reducing from 0.5 mg Prednisolone. I have just done 1:4 step and was feeling fine except that a few weeks ago, I have been diagnosed with symptomatic H Pylori infection and need to take triple therapy ( 2 antibiotics for 7 days

question regarding otc pain relief
I am currently on daily zytiga plus prednisone and monthly firmagon. . I have mostly avoided any pain meds. Recently, I overexerted while doing yard work and hurt the lower back. We now are hiking in the Finger Lakes and rest on the back isn’t as practical, but the back isn’t cooperating. Tylenol

chronic diarrhoea 4 days.
I honestly feel like just stopping the prednisolone. It’s one thing after another. Nothing is staying in my stomach and I feel so weak. Any advice appreciated. Do I take Imodium? 🙏
