Help appreciated please..symptoms not easing
My journey with PMR has been eventful. I started off a year ago with severe back pain and investigations found I had a bulging thoracic disc T8/T9, but apparently not anything that needed intervention. I was very tired, working and looking after my 31 year old son who has Autism and Learning difficulties

So frustrating
Hello everyone, I am really struggling with my dosage of Prednisolone. I started on 15mg in June, down to 12.5mg in July, then to 10mg in August as instructed by doctor. Manged to go to 9mg but then had to increase back up to 10mg as I had a flare. This was fine until 3 weeks ago, when I had another

Pred and vaccines (sorry, yes another damn post on this!)
Some may remember I was on Pred for 4 years with PMR on the slow reduction shift. Well I’m back on prednisolone this time due to lung inflammation due to Covid and Pneumonia. Starting dose was 40mg/day for 7 days, today I’m down to 30mg for the following 7 days, then reducing week on week by 5mg to come

Immune protocol
Hi lovely ladies, I need some advice about immune protocols and/or intralipids.I'm with a new clinic and currently I've done only one freeze all cycle with them which resulted in no blasts to transfer. I'm gearing up for my 7th ec and hopeful fresh transfer and they do not really recommend intralipids

my journey
Hi everyone, thought it was about time I shared my story My journey began Easter 2024. It all started when I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to get the spoon in while eating breakfast, I had to slurp, other meals had to be cut into small pieces. I wasn’t in any pain. The pain began usually around

DEXA and Leaky Bowels
Two questions for my knowledgeable chums. I was diagnosed in November 2023 and after a battle with my GP managed to get a DEXA scan in early April. Results are that this 75 year old has the typical bone density profile of a 30 year old. Yay! Is it reasonable to push for another scan after 6 months

Dreams
I don't know if it's the PMR or the Prednisolone but I have been having long, involved and vivid dreams. Nothing like the dreams I normally have. Anyone else had this happen in the early weeks?

ESR reading
When I was diagnosed 7 weeks ago my ESR reading was 28 and marked in red as abnormal. My CRP was marked in green as normal. The GP who asked for these tests gave me a trial of Prednisolone that erased all the deep, burning aching in my muscles by the end of the day. On these results I got my diagnosis.When

Tapering and vaccinations
After reading some posts, am I right in thinking it would be best not to begin my slow taper until after I have had my flu jab on 10/10 and Covid jab on 16/10? I have only been on Prednisolone for 7 weeks anyway.

How long after omeprazole to take Prednisolone?
I have tried to find out how long I should wait after taking omeprazole before taking the prednisolone so my stomach is protected, but nowhere can I find this information. Can anyone help? I'd be most grateful. J

Recently Diagnosed
I have recently been diagnosed with PMR. 15 mg of prednisolone only brought marginal improvement. The dose has now been increased to 20 mg, which has brought more relief, but the pain is still not fully under control . has anyone else had an experience like this?

Sleep
Can you help me. I have been taking Prednisolone which was recently lowered from 10 to 9 mg for Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I have problems sleeping so my GP prescribed 10 mg of Amitriptyline which doesn’t seem to help. Any suggestions please. I am 78 years old and get very distressed when I don’t sleep.

Side effects of prednisolone
I started taking prednisolone a month ago and have had increasing sweating, especially my head. My hair becomes soaked. Is this common? Are there any solutions?

Reducing plan
I've just found the reducing plan the GP gave me when I was.prescribed Prednisolone. 15mg starting dose, after 3 weeks reduce to 12.5mg, another 3 weeks reduce to 10mg, then aim to reduce 1mg every 3 weeks but increase by 1mg if it starts to flare. That makes approx 36 weeks in total. I haven't found

Prednisolone and Constipation
Has anyone else had this problem? I have been on Prednisolone for 18 months for PMR. Have reduced from 30mg slowly and now on 5mg. I have become increasingly constipated and feel as if the nerves in my bowel have ceased working. My abdomen is becoming more and more bloated and I have what looks like

Second morning cortisol test results still not up to scratch at 313.
To recap, I finished Prednisolone in January this year. Tiredness and irritability 😖led me to mention these symptoms to my consultant at my routine hospital review. Early morning cortisol test reading in July showed a score of 313-up from 240 in April. To obtain this latest score I carried out an e-consult

Leflunomide to reduce pred
Saw rheumy yesterday, he scanned my temple to check the artery that had originally confirmed GCA diagnosis. (I told him that I'd heard about Prof Dasgupta checking his patients on this forum) Apparently it has returned to normal, no signs of permanent damage. My CPR has been normal since starting on
