Time it takes to kick in - prednisone vs prednisilone?
Hello everyone, I'm having trouble finding an answer to this and I was hoping someone here might know. From what I understand, prednisone is a pro drug, so it has to be converted in your liver first and takes around 2 hours to fully kick in. Whereas prednisolone is already the active version, so it

Seen rheumatologist yesterday, he doesn’t believe it’s GCA but had bloods taken and arranged an urgent MRI brain just for reassurance due to previous bleed in 2016. He wants me to stay on 15mg prednisone for another 2 weeks then do staggering one day 15 next day 10 for 2 weeks then down to 10 again.

Prednisolone
Hi all. I haven't posted for a while, but I am on here everyday reading all your updates.I had an ablation in November 21. I have had a couple of AF episodes since, but they didn't last too long. I am getting what I think are palpatations, which seem to be getting worse. I have been feeling quite poorly

Cough, chest pressure, GCA
I am being treated for GCA, but had a negative biopsy. I am now taking 40 mg of prednisone and will drop to 35 mg tomorrow. My first rheumatology appointment is May 16. I am in no pain but I am very fatigued and I continue to cough, especially when I speak, and have chest heaviness. My primary care

Is 5 mg Prednisone for life safe
My husband has had PMR for 18 months now. He is 65. He started on 40 mg predniprednisone daily and for the last 6 months he has been on 5 mg....and he feels great. He has lost in total 25 kg in weight and has had no adverse side effects from the use of Prednisone. All bloods are good, he has very

Another injury, wrist this time
Just the other day, for unknown reason, memory of an old acquaintance popped into my mind, specifically her frequent use of the expression, "What fresh hell is this?" Perhaps I alerted the demon in charge my fate when I wondered if I could find a reason to say it. Yesterday I'd just heard from my son

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
Hi everyone, I hope this post finds everyone as well as they can be right now. I need your help. I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) I have lung disease, as a result of Lupus. I also have diabetes, hyperparathyroidism and high blood pressure. Having MCS makes me hypersensitive to almost everything

Here again for some knowledge and benefit from your wisdom. In February I was told that I have a number of heart conditions. One is two partially blocked arteries. I am waiting for an Angiogram and stents if needed, semi urgent. I go to Europe the end of this month so no chance of getting in until July

Newly diagnosed with limited systemic sclerosis
I was diagnosed in September 2023. I’m currently on prednisolone and hydroxycholoquine. I’ve struggled with fatigue for close to 2 years now and it has been the most debilitating symptom so far. In the past few weeks my hands have become very achey, they were slightly achey before but now it’s a lot

PMR flare
Hi all I have PMR and GCA which up until now have been under control, I’m on Methotrexate and Tocilizumab and currently 1mg Prednisolone, but I’m having joint pain at the moment in mainly one shoulder and my knees ( not had any issues with Knees before). Would this be the start of a PMR flare? I’m having

Inflammation and RLS redux
I've both queried and written about the possible roles that inflammation plays in RLS, but wanted to share what I recently learned, which again indicates that the relationship between the two is complicated. I was recently on methyl prednisone for a few days to calm down post-surgery inflammation

Antibiotic and Actemra
Hello folks, I have an infection in my tooth and need to take an antibiotic for 10 days. If I'm understanding the guidelines for Actemra correctly, apparently, I am supposed to stop my Actemra injection (which is every two weeks) while I am on an antibiotic. My question is, is that really necessary

Not sure what’s going on, I had blood tests because of headaches and temple pain but I’ve just had a call from rheumatologist now making an urgent appointment for this Friday and wanting me to increase prednisone from 10mg back up to 15 until I see him, very strange.

tender breasts?
good evening! This is a strange one I think. Just wondered if anyone could explain or maybe have had experience of this. I will go to the Doctor obviously. I started Prednisolone in early October 15 mg and am currently on 9.5. Golfing, gardening, decorating - have had very few side effects - and felt

GCA or Occipital Neauralgia
confused. I’ve seen a rheumatologist three times in the last year Re:Temporal Arteritis . I’ve had a biopsy which came back negative, because previously my doctor prescribed steroids for inflammation and head pain. Rheumatologist prescribed 50mg of prednisone after a while to be gradually reduced.

Should go into the OMAHA2a ODM-208 (MK-5684-004): phase 3 trial?
I had my 3 monthly OC visit last week. Blood test is showing 0.3 up from 0.15 six weeks ago. MO is suggesting that I should go into the ODM-208 (MK-5684): phase 3 trial if PSA rises above 1.0. PSA of 1.0 or above is a entry requirement for the trial, presumable to be sure that my current treatment

Generic TCZ---is it available in the UK?
My friends, Without this forum, my GCA journey would have been entirely different. You have all been there to support me, educate me, and reinforce me when I thought I was sinking. It has always made me sad that TCZ is only available to GCA patients for one year, subject to review for an additional
