Paul Tube implant for Glaucoma
Hello, I am new here and wonder if anyone else has experience of having this surgery? After many years of using various eye drops and also an unsuccessful SLT on my right eye, my consultant advised me to have this surgery in an attempt to lower my IOP thus preventing even further loss of vision. He chose

tapering, optimistic or impatient?
a cautionary tale! Having got various things out the way, from fractured vertebrae (healing well) to big birthday, I thought it time to start tapering towards my holy grail of 10mg prednisolone. So started 5 week taper from 15 to 12.5. I still had some pain and difficulty walking but put that down to

I did manage to get a Rheumy appt, but no help whatsoever. Wherever I have pain, stiffness etc & how bad it’s not PMR or GCA related. They only really bother about CRP & its 1 not interested at all that ESR has gone from 7 to 19 in last week or 2. Told to finish my 2 year Prednisolone taper, it’s

Morning cortisol test results have arrived.
For background I should say that I finished with prednisolone at the end of January this year. I’ve had no return of PMR symptoms but have been irritable and tired with my ‘get up and go’ non-existent 😠. I saw my rheumatologist a month ago and she requested a morning cortisol test along with my usual

Lansoprazole & Prednisolone
My question may have been asked before but here goes…….. When diagnosed with PMR eighteen months ago I was prescribed pred plus Lansoprazole as a “stomach liner”. My pred tablets are gastroresistant apart from the 1mg ones and my understanding was this was to make sure the drug was not attacked by

Prednisolone and skin thinning
I think I’ve heard that long term use of steroids can cause the skin to get thinner - is this a thing? I’m wondering if it’s a cause of my difficulty shaking off the cellulitis that’s been bugging me over the past few weeks. Has anyone else had this? The skin is always damaged after an attack, which

Swollen red cheek andslight jaw pain on one side.
My friend was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with PMR and GCA. Great improvement on steroids. Yesterday she had slight jaw pain and this morning her face is red and swollen. Could this be a flare. She is on 20mg per day of prednisolone.

Tooth infection - increase prednisolone?
A chronic tooth infection in a failed root canal treated tooth has decided to present with a painful flare. (I am generally fortunate and suffer little pain with the tooth). I am awaiting extraction in NHS hospital but its likely to be many more months and I realise I am in no way priority. On my

Baricitinib (Olumiant) side effects - did they improve over time?
I finally took the plunge to have Olumiant on Monday 22nd after getting my blood tests/vaccines etc. It's been a bit of an up-and-down story so am wondering what other people's experiences have been like. This is a draft of what I'm going to email my Rheumatologist but thought it was worth hearing some

New to PMR

Cataract surgery due to steroid medication
Hi all, I have Minimal Change Disease and have been on various doses of prednisolone since Nov 22. I've now got cataracts and my right eye needs surgery. I'm 39 and most of the information online seems targeted at older patients. Can anyone offer advice? For instance I'm used to wearing glasses for short-sightedness

Stabbing headache..GCA?
I've been plateauing on 2.5mg prednisolone for the last 2 months as we've had lots of visitors and it's been difficult to keep to our normal low key routine . I've felt ok, tried not to overdo things and thought all was under control (as much as that is possible).Last night though I experienced a fleeting

NK cells and pcos -steroids or hydroxychloroquine?
Hi all, I’m under Prof Shehata’s NHS clinic (recurrent miscarriage )and my results showed raised NK cells although activation markers were in range. Everything else pretty good too although AMH was very high which is not necessarily a good thing and suggests that my PCOS is back (was diagnosed approx

Between a rock and a hard place!!
I was so delighted to report that I took my last Prednisolone on 28th April 2024 and wasn’t totally surprised that I experienced the usual ‘drop’ symptoms that I always got every time I reduced by even 0.5mg. But it has now been 4 and a half weeks and I wake in considerable pain every morning and the

PMR flare advice needed
I have messed up with dealing with a recent flare and would love your advice on where to go from here. I was stuck at 11mg Prednisolone for many months and then one day I felt a change. From then I have been able to taper at 0.5mg every 3 weeks. All was good until I got to 8.5mg. I did my usual - add

Knee Replacement Yesterday
Thanks to those of you who wished me well yesterday. I had full knee replacement surgery yesterday afternoon. On the advice of the surgical team I had my normal dose of Prednisolone in the morning. Epidural for the op and played nice music through my ear buds to drown out the sound of the team and the

Tapering off Prednisolone 5mg suppositories
Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone here has used Predsol 5mg suppositories for 3 months? My Gastro said it was ok to use them that long . . . I'm wondering if I need to taper off (for eg, use every second day for a few weeks?) The gastro was not happy with me last visit as my bleeding had come back

Incidence of Large Vessel Vasculitis in late diagnosis of PMR
When I read members’ experiences of prompt PMR diagnoses I’m truly pleased for them but I have to admit to feeling a degree of envy. My diagnosis arrived ‘only’ five months after onset of symptoms; I say ‘only’ because I know that for others the wait was far, far longer: PMRpro, for example, was without
