Over Exercise?!!!
Hi. I have always valued all the contributions on this site since I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in October 2021; this is my first post. Last December I had a PET scan as my ESR and CRP had rocketed ( ESR 102 and ESR 72) and I was definitely in flare mode with increased stiffness and pain. I was put

Malecare newsletter reports Finish study glucocorticoids (e.g. prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone) can lead to castrate resistance
“However, recent studies have shown that the glucocorticoid receptor also has an oncogenic, or cancer-promoting, effect in cancers like breast and prostate cancer. In prostate cancer, the glucocorticoid receptor can replace the activity of the androgen receptor, which is main oncogenic factor in this

Depretion
Hi all since I started the prednisolone back in April 2023 I found I am getting depressed and as the weeks have gone on it is getting worse, not sure how to deal with this anymore I asked my Doctor 3 months ago about medication for it and he gave me sleeping pills! They of course they did not work

Double vision episode
Just had one. First since November 2021. Then I was on high dose pred for GCA, coming down. Continued to taper quite successfully, eventually to zero in November 2022. But PMR followed, so went onto 15mg pred, tapering again quite successfully. Down to 5 mg since 6th February. Clearly no blood test

Low carb diets
On top of everything else I'm now pre-diabetic. I wasn't prior to starting the steroids but as I'm now on 2 mg of Prednisolone a day and have been on 5 mg or less for over a year I suspect that Prednisolone is not the culprit. I've been looking at a diabetic website and it says that low carb is less

How it feels to have stopped steroids
Hi, just looking for some reassurance really. I stopped Prednisolone in November and felt OK, some stiffness in legs but no pain. And yoga and weekly exercise class has helped. Probably like most I felt much better when we got those odd spring days. And last week cut down a couple of bushes in the

PMR and statins
My hubby is the PMR sufferer and is five years in. He has had many ups and downs in that time but for the last four weeks he had come off Prednisolone altogether. He was then put on statins, and every week for the last three he has had a flare, not sure if it’s coming off them, even though he has come

Severe Eosinophilic Asthma
Hi does anyone on here suffer from Severe Eosinophilic Asthma? My husband has been very incapacitated by this since March 2020 which came on suddenly and has not improved since then despite continuous steroids, inhalers and trying the latest injections. He’s had to pack up his business and still cannot

Well at least that’s one less thing to worry about.
I’m so pleased to learn that my recent dexa scan after seven years of prednisolone is normal and unchanged from three years ago. Not being a pill popper before diagnosis I have struggled to take the calcium and Vit D supplement and Alendronic Acid which were prescribed as routine by my GP. A dexa scan

Methotrexate
Hi, I have been on Prednisolone for the past two years for PMR and after various flares, ups and downs, am currently tapering and am at 9.5 mg daily, decreasing 0.5 mg every two weeks. At a routine drug review at the surgery this week the pharmacist said she was surprised I had not been put on Methotrexate

Hi! Just joined. Is there MG-lite?
I recently found out I have 0.12nmol/L of anti-AChR antibodies, but am told that's too low to be of any consequence. I certainly don't have the tell-tale symptoms of full-blown myasthenia gravis (MG), but I do have a very easily fatigued, twitchy, blinky left eye (and milder symptoms in the right one

Co-morbidity issues
As if the unknowns about PMR weren't enough ! My recent flare happened as I was actually doing physical therapy for some lower back pain related to disc / nerve problems. And the PT was quite helpful, so the condition seemed to be resolving. But one morning my hips and low back were suddenly so

Hi! I just joined. CIDP: Is anyone like me?
My neurologist thinks I might have chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), despite the fact that, apart from the occasional shooting pain, cramp, or twinge, I don't have any motor-control, spasm or electric-shock-like symptoms. What I do have is longstanding, progressive, bilateral

GCA starting again?

Eyesight and Steroids
I'll be posting this across two sites. Last summer I went for a check up with the optician - I have worn glasses for reading for about 20 years, but this summer was told I needed them for driving, watching tv etc. I had the prescription filled and wore the glasses as directed - however about a week

Medicines and dementia risk
Hello. I'm 64 years old with a painful back problem (lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylosis and spondylolisthesis). While I wait for an appointment at the Pain Clinic, I was recommended by the musculoskeletal specialist to try a drug called gabapentin. My doctor put me on another from this group of drugs
