Skin rash due to prednisolone?
Hi coming up to a year on Pred and on 5 mg one day 4 mg the next. Was going well but now have some kind of fungal infection around top half of my body. Not all over but enough to be uncomfortable and itchy. Been given some topical steroid treatment but not keen on using it. Has anyone else had similar

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?

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

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

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? 🙏

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

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

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

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
