Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

asthma & respiratory illnesses
Hi - I’m asthmatic and it’s always been mild for the most part (managed by salamol & clenil for my reliever and preventer). Whenever I get any form of respiratory illness it goes straight to my chest and I need steroids and antibiotics and have asthma exacerbations not really attacks. Since catching

My question is that at the dose of 3mg of Prednisolone that I’m now taking would I still

Why are my limbs painful after coming off Pred?
I have been on pred since 2018, and finally managed to come off it about 5 weeks ago, after reading all the advice and comments in this forum - I'd never have managed it without, it has been a lifeline for me over the past six years. But Dead Slow Nearly Stopfinally has worked for me, so I feel very

GCA and Ocular TIA (mini stroke)??
I was diagnosed with GCA four and a half years ago , am on my third relapse and am tapering (now 10mg prednisolone and weekly Actemra). At the onset I had severe headaches and a dark 'veil' over half of my left eye which went after about 5 minutes and the opthalmologist put me on 60 mg prednisolone

Spring Covid booster
Have had text from my surgery offering me a Spring Booster for Covid. Have been on 4.5mg Prednisolone for a couple of months now. Would my immune system still be classed as compromised on such a low dose?

stopping Abiratrerone
I was diagnosed with PC in Jan 2001 with Gleason of 4+ and a PSA that never got above 10. From a PSMA scan, I have bone metasteses in skull, ribs, backbone, hips, pelvic bone. WE believe that in my case PSA has never been a very useful measure. I have been taking Abiraterone, Prostap and prednisolone

Is it a flare or not??
In August I will have had PMR for 4 years but I still struggle knowing whether I’m flaring or not. I have trouble reducing my Prednisolone dose despite doing .5 mg reductions over a 4 week period. I was on 10mg in January 2024 and three weeks ago had got down to 8.5/9 mg on alternate days as I’ve been

Skin sensitivity after stopping Prednisolone
Hi, I stopped Pred in November after approx 20months - starting dose was 20 mg. I noticed last summer my arms were very sensitive to mild sunlight and I came up in a red rash after thinking I was sitting in the shade. And I recently was in the garden doing some pruning and my face and chest looked like

Pred makes me dizzy
Is that normal? I only take prednisolone so there's nothing else to blame. I feel fine every morning, no dizziness or wobbliness, until a few minutes after I take the pred during breakfast and then I have to move about very carefully for several hours. Blood pressure's fine. I don't think it's adrenal

Pneumonia and collapsed lung after catching the ‘100 day cough’
For all you folks who have Lupus, please be careful of this ‘100’ day cough that is going around at the moment, as this is what caused me to end up in hospital. I was diagnosed with Lupus in February 2022. I’ve had a rough ride for the past few years, ending up in hospital every year for one thing

Prednisolone Belly
