GCA flares and eyesight
Thank you to everybody on this site – I have found it very helpful. I was diagnosed with GCA in September. I have to say my GP and Bath Hospital were excellent though it was a shock. My sight tested OK in the Eye Clinic. I started on 60 prednisolone reducing, and I am coping quite well, but I am paranoid

max inhaler dose?
Hi everyone. I saw the hospital respiratory team about a month ago, who said that it is ok to take 5 puffs rather than the suggested max 4 puffs Fostair 200/6, as a kind of last resort before prednisolone. I’ve taken a lot of steroids this year and am trying to reduce the number of courses. However,

Actemra and aches and pains!
I was put on Actemra about 3 months ago and have dropped as prescribed i.e. 1mg per month. I have had GCA for 14 years and was stuck on 14mgs of prednisolone for some time. It has been a struggle at times but a few weeks ago I noted I was beginning to ache in my muscles and joints similar to fourteen

Flare or Adrenals waking up
I was diagnosed with PMR October 2022 and I am currently down to 4mg Prednisolone ( down from 4.5 on 3/11). Since Monday I have been waking up around 4mg with pain in my hips. Not excruciating but definitely enough to keep me awake for a while, now getting pain in shoulders as well. This goes after

New to biologics - don't feel particularly well.
Evening all. Hope everyone is managing ok in this cold weather 🥶. So in the last 2 weeks I've had to take rescue doses for my adrenal insufficiency, had 2 emergency hydrocortisone injections (each one administered by work colleagues a week apart) as not caught early enough and generally felt off.

Prednisolone and osteopenia
Hi I had a Dex scan a few weeks ago and my bone density showed I have osteopenia, I was given calcium and vitamin D tablets to take twice a day. So would it help if I drank milk to help to augment this as I don't have milk normally but have yogurt. Thank you in advance for any replies. Peter.

If you have fibro with RA are you given meds for fibro as well ?
Hello, I've had RA for at least a decade . Earlier this year I was taken off all my medication because I could never go more than 6 weeks without antibiotics due to infections .Turns out I had a severely infected sub mandibular gland packed with calcium stones which made it impossible to have any treatment

Prednisone for treatment of AIG
I've just been started on Prednisone or Prednisolone, immunosuppressant steroids, for treatment of Autoimmune Gastritis/autoimmune PA. This has recently, within the last few years been shown to possibly heal AIG, although not entirely cure. It is also used to prevention immune system rejection of organ

rheumatology appointment
So I had a rheumatology appointment on Saturday at my local hospital. He is a lovely man but obviously not that informed about PMR. He insisted that if your CPR and ESR are normal you can’t be having a flair up. I challenged him on that but he insisted he was right. He also said people under 60 very

Diabetes and Prednisolone
Hi, just enquiring about the use of Prednisolone and its affect on diabeties. I have been a type 2 diabetic since 2016. For the first four years I managed to control it by diet only but since I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 my diabetes has got worse year on year. I was initially put on Metformin

ALMOST OFF PREDNISOLONE
Just thought I’d share my story with all you lovely people out there. I was diagnosed with GCA in March 2019 and started the long journey of taking Prednisolone starting at 60mg. I have finally reduced down to half a mg daily after a few flares in between. My Rheumatologist said I could have reduced

Reducing prednisolone with Methotrexate- what happens after?
I am on 7 mg pred for PMR and it just about controls my symptoms though I get quite stiff in my hips and neck. I reduced to 5 mg in early 2022 having met my condition first in June 2021. I think I reduced too quickly and have since had several flares. My rheumatologist wants me to start methotrexate

Colonoscopy and Prednisolone
I am booked for a colonoscopy on 21 December at 2:40 pm. I have no other details and await a nurse to ring prior to the procedure. This news has not helped my anxiety, which has, of late increased to a high level for various reasons. I’ve read, and heard from friends, many horror stories about the medication

PMR/Prednisolone and dental implants
