Advice
Can anyone advise if it is best to persevere without prednisolone when still in pain or should we take a small dose to try to keep the inflammation under control.

Asthma flare ups
I am on Fostair, 2 puffs twice a day and up to 8 puffs a day as per asthma plan as required. I have been prescribed Prednisolone several times after flare ups. I do get perfect relief from the steroids, but after a couple of weeks the asthma rears it`s ugly head again. I wonder if the inhaler could

Ulcerative proctitis
I have a severe proctitis. The Dr. prescribed me with a Prednisolone suppositories 5mg twice daily plus started oral Mesalazine as Octasa 2.4g/day. I’m on my 3rd week of the medication. But is not working properly. I’m taking Octasa in the morning before breakfast (I tried to take it before dinner

Stopping Prednisolone
Hi everyone, I have been taking Prednisolone for 3.5 years with hardly any problems during reduction. I am now on .5mg and have been for the last 6 weeks with no problems. Just a quick question, should I just stop taking them now or wait a little longer?

Moon face...
I've been steadily reducing prednisolone for GCA since September last year and had not really worried about the weight issue as I was more concerned about my sight and other side effects. However I am now down to 4 mg a day and am appalled by my moon face and what looks like a buoyancy aid around my

Hydroxychloroquine
Wonder if I could have advice please. My husband was given a course of prednisolone and at the same time given Hydroxychloroquine and Omeprazole. He's now finished the prednisolone. Were the Omeprazole to protect his stomach against the steroid? Or does he need to keep taking them with the Hydroxychloroquine

When other people's opinions Count
Well, it's a few months since reducing pred gradually. It's 3 years since diagnosis and a few years more suffering this condition unknowingly. It has to be said that Prednisolone does have serious consequences over time in larger doses, but it also enables us to function. I have lost a staggering amount

Lethargy!
Hi, after 5 & a half years, I have been off prednisolone for around 2 months now. Yes, I am experiencing aches & pains but not the same as I had at the beginning of my PMR/GCA journey…old age at 75 I guess & nothing that paracetamol won’t cure! But what is really getting me down is lack of energy & motivation

Flare or adrenal insufficiency.
I’ve been tapering slowly using the DSNS method and am currently going from 7mg to 6mg. I feel a bit of discomfort especially in bed in the morning and seem to have a stiff neck all the time. I can still function fairly well although I do feel tired after doing anything. Do you think this is due to too

is this PMR
morning, I have now finished my 2 year Prednisolone taper for GCA. I was under Chetan Mukthyr. However much pain & stiffness I was in he always ruled out PMR as I did not have every single symptom, my tapering was never altered in the 2 years. Every day now I wake up to stiffness in fingers, buttocks

Palpitations with tapering
I wonder if it is usual to have palpitations when reducing Prednisolone. I have successfully managed to get down to 5 mgms (last 7 weeks), albeit with the ‘dreaded fatique’. Sometimes on very little exertion or at times of stress I feel my heart will burst out of my chest! It eventually settles with

Prednisolone
5-6 Months of Louder Tinnitus & I managed to get my doctors to let me try Prednisolone for 8-9 days, but, it was a low dose of 15mg a day. A few days in, I could feel my hearing sharpness had increased & some ear fullness had gone & it feels less inflamed. My tinnitus did seem to slightly flutter about

Newly Diagnosed and Frightened
Oh Crumbs, I seem to have written my whole introduction as part of my profile. So my main concern at the moment is how do other people cope with the side effects of high dose (50mg) Prednisolone. Is it common to feels so unwell and to shake so much that I can't write and keep mis-hitting keys on my mobile

Like many others I guess I am in a quandary about having my Spring booster. I started taking 20mg prednisolone in November 2022, reduced to 15mg after one week, then gradually down to 10mg where I stayed for most of a year. I am now on 8.5mg. Am I immuno-suppressed on this dose? My immune system is
