PMR remission maybe
As I mentioned in an earlier post after spending 30 days for each reduction tapering from 15mg-12.5mg -10mg, my nurse practitioner put me on a taper of 1 mg every two weeks. This week I began the 1mg dose and over the tapering period I have not had any flares [u]so far[/u]. I am happy to be finishing

Increase in Foot Swelling During Tapering
I wanted to check in to see if others have had a problem similar to mine. I had some increased fluid retention and neuropathy in my feet when I first started the 15mg dose of prednisone, but it wasn’t severe. I am finding as I have lowered the dose (now almost completely at 8mg using DL’s slow tapering

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

gum recession
Hi I have been on Pred for 5 years now and still tapering. Now tapered to 2 mg finally. Its been very up and down but seems to be getting better. my question is : I started to have gum recession and I can say it definitely was never an issue before I developed PMR. It could be just coincidental

5/25 update on Zytiga failed
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4 PSA dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga. Yea

Strange symptoms a year after 3rd Pfizer shot
I'm new to this site, so please excuse me if there are already similar questions to mine! I'm having PMR type symptoms and have today started a course of Prednisone. My problems began in February this year (2023). I just wonder whether it's possible they have anything to do with my booster shot in

ESR and CRP results, adjustment for age?
I have just seen my results for my annual general health GP review. I was disappointed that my ESR and CRP results were higher than last year. Then I thought about it and did some research. Last year (June 2022) I was taking 4mg Prednisolone, My ESR was 19mm/hr and CRP was 6mg/L. Now I am taking 1.5mg

Thinking of our conversation on pred level and how to handle stressful moments to keep adrenal drama at bay....
So things for me and PMR and pred have not gone the way a lot of folks have. I read about when you take the pred in the beginning most have amazing relief then begin the journey of slowly reducing to find the next good dose. Then reading the symptom tea leaves of symptoms to make decisions on the next

GPs and Actemra
Can CGPs prescribe Actemra? What are your experiences? I’m in the US, and have had 3 bad experiences with rheumatologists. One good one who listened, but she left. My GP has been prescribing my prednisone, but not really managing the dose. I’ve been stuck at 9 mg for a year

hypothyroidism
Just diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism, probably from the prednisone. Anybody else have that? How do you manage it? What sort of symptoms do you have? My main one seems to be fatigue. Thanks

tapered too fast
My 69 yr old husband has had PMR for about four years. We got down to 10mg Prednisone by tapering .25mg every two weeks. When I got to 10mg he was feeling ok so I started tapering faster, thinking that we could finally be done. When I got below 5mg I got really excited and tried to taper weekly by more
