Taper?- small reductions but is in relapse or withdrawal ?
Dear PMR, Could I ask a question about dosage, tapering and possible relapse. My original symptoms were triggered, I think, a very, very bad chest infection 18 months ago where I was very ill for a month and a half. I appeared to recover, but then and after 8 months, these symptoms came about suddenly

What was your Medrol protocol? Worried my doctor doesn't know what he is doing. Please help
Hi All, Sorry for the aggressive title but I am nervous because my doctor doesn't normally prescribe steroids and I have pressured him into allowing me to try them after 6 failed FET's with DONOR eggs. They were all perfect PGS tested embryos. Its been absolutely devastating and I will be trying with

Medrol?
Hi Eveyone- Hoping to hear some success stories with FET while using Medrol? I have one embryo left. I had 2 failed transfers prior with perfect PGS tested embryos in July and September. I also have had a chemical pregnancy in the past with a FET that was not PGS tested. This is my last embryo and the

Been to hormone specialist...not sure what to think?!
I am new here, but not new to thyroid problems. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2001 after years of symptoms no doctor could explain: high blood pressure difficult to control even with medication, hair loss, high cholesterol, weight gain and fluid retention. Doctors suggested I was eating too much

TPLL
I want to thank you all again for welcoming me into your community. Mike's cancer diagnosis has been very unique. As has his treatment. I don't recall what I have already shared, but his actual diagnosis ended up being TPLL (Tcell Prolymphocytic Leukemia). His WBC count went from 432,000 on 9/30 to 530,000

Trying to reduce Medrol
Diagnosed quickly in May in US. Pain control worked at 32 mg Medrol. Currently at 20 mg and feel pretty good! Shoulders are sore in the morning but mild compared to initial onset pain. Due to reduce again in a few days and wondering if I should go to 18 mg or down to 16? I keep reading 10% reduction

Shortest Time Between Steroid Sets?
What is the shortest amount of time you've had between needing sets of steroids? Background: I only started showing symptoms in March 2019, and I've been lucky that they are still pretty mild (mostly just occasional tingling and altered sensation, with some swallowing difficulty and increased constipation

Finally got home late last night!
And I don't even know what happened! Yikes! Except that I had 3days of prednisone, then saw my neurologist. Then the next day he wants me in the hospital.😐 He even got my daughter on a conference call to make me! Ugh! What's up with that? Anyway, another 2 days of Solu-Medrol, and an MRI. To show

A little sigh of relief ....
First of all, I'm so thankful for every one of you...I go to the 'almost ready to cave point' but all of your input kept me from accepting what I knew in my heart was wrong and made it really scary to go to bed tonight. I just got an email from the rheumatologist "who felt so unsettled he contacted the

Confused and angry... and scared...
I received an email from my rheumatologist this morning telling me that he does not believe the blurry vision is the result of GCA and [i]not to take the 20 mg the ophthalmologist told me to take and to take only 6mg per day...starting tomorrow because my labs were normal.[/i] That sounds familiar.

Feeling terrible and need advice on dose to go back up to
Hi my fellow PMR people. I know I have been remiss in sharing my story, and I've been thinking I will sit down and do that soon so anyone with the weird side effects I have had won't feel so weird :-). In the meantime, I have a taper problem and need your input please. I'll give you a nutshell version
