Should I persevere and keep working?
I’m just starting to taper from 10mg prednisolone to 9.5mg using the DSNS method. I’m 71 and until PMR hit I was very fit and active and still working 3 six hour shifts a week in a care home. After a couple of weeks off sick before the steroids kicked in I’ve continued to work but just the last few

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
At my last endocrinology appointment, it was strongly suggested I have radioactive iodine therapy. I'm not terribly keen, for reasons that many of you here have pointed out. I still don't know for sure that I have Graves'. The endo didn't think it mattered if it was Graves' or not, she would still recommend

Sick days
I saw my rheumatologist today. He does not believe in increasing prednisone on sick days or when there is more stress in our lives. I guess each of us have to make our decisions about the variety of advice and information. Of course, I am also on Kevzara and I don't see people in our group mentioning

My GCA Update
My Rheumy just called to say that my temporal artery biopsy came back positive. She put me on 60 mg. prednisone and submitted a request for approval of Actrema from my insurance. I’m not happy that I have it, but it does feel like a relief to know what is causing me to feel so poorly.

Questions about using prednisone for a flare
Hello I have recently been taken off of methotrexate and only using rinvoq also using some Celebrex and Tylenol. Those meds are really not enough, I've started having pain in feet and overall inflammation. My doctor said I can have prednisone if I need it. I was just wondering how much prednisone

Has 3 years on Prednisolone caused all these problems?
Hi All,I haven't posted for a while but regularly read the daily highlights and continue to learn about our condition and take comfort that there are others who understand the difficulties we face living with PMR. The last few weeks, have been challenging for a few reasons. I'm currently 3 weeks into

Taking ibuprofen while on a low dose of prednisolone
Hi I’ve already had one hip replaced 13 years ago (before my PMR diagnosis) and I’ve been lucky to get away with not having any trouble with the other - until recently. It’s deteriorating rapidly, and I’m on first steps of the “pathway” to have surgery, which I know will likely take years. The best

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking Bicalutamide 50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection. This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance

Use of CDB 10 mg pills
I am currently on 12 mg prednisone and 20 mg methotrexate a week for PsA and maybe PMR. I have heard that taking CDB can help with relaxing, sleeping and general feeling down due to the way this illness makes you feel. Is this safe?

Not sure what's going on
I've had a fairly decent year. I've got PMR with extracranial GCA / LVV. I've been on 7 megs prednisone for most of that time, upping the dose for a couple of days whenever I've had stress. For the last 3 weeks, though, I have had lots of aches and pains (hips, knees, shoulders) along with more than

Breast pain on prednisolone
This might be a bit of a strange one, but have you experienced twinges in the breast on pred? I get these quite sharp twinges every now and again and I wondered if it might be the pred? A very quick google suggests it might be. I mentioned it to the radiographer last week when I had a routine mammogram

What's going on?
Hi, just a recap...was diagnosed with PMR early this year by GP, (am 48 yrs) started on 30 mg prednisone then tapered down, increased pain so back to 30 mg again. Also had numerous bloods, ultrasounds, x rays, ct scan which showed bursitis in both hips and shoulders. GP referred to rheumatologist. He

Statins
A Doctor at the Diabetes Clinic (I am pre-diabetic) recommended statins when I inquired about how to offset the tendency of Prednisone to raise blood sugar. I don't want to take them. Is there a valid reason why I should? I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023 and I am currently on 12.5 mg of Prednisone

Just had My Monthly Injection of Firmagon Monthly Labs PSA is Up <0.06 to 0.09
That’s pretty modest. I’m assuming I will wait till next month to see if it goes down. Kind of stressed with this new diverticulitis and blood bowel thing AND Moving. Got results of psa after I saw My Medical Oncologist so haven’t discussed modest jump. Even with bleeding from rectum the gastroenterologist

New to RA /methotrexate looking for advice.
Been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few weeks ago and starting methotrexate tomorrow which I’m starting on 10mg for 2 weeks then 15mg for 2 weeks then 20mg from there, also 5mg of folic acid the other six days and 5mg of prednisone for now but reducing it. Do I need to worry about anything ?

Prostate cancer but normal PSA?
HI All. I had my first ever PSA at the age of 62 and it came in at over 26. I took a repeat and it came in at 25, then a week later I took another and it was 29. I had a biopsy that came back positive (cancer in 11 of 12 samples) and even though both my CT and bone. However, they indicated that since

Just don't know what to do with myself
Was supposed to see the rheumatologist a month after first appointment but now it will be 14 weeks and a rheumatology nurse cannot phone me back for 6 weeks so have no choice but to see the GP on Monday. Been following tapering instructions to take me down to 20mg only but unsure how to proceed now.

Stopped Actemra, new questions
Hi community, I decided to stop Actemra after 1 year so I am not on so many drugs. I was concerned about the risk of infections, diverticulitis, etc. I figured that so many people have done this with only Prednisone, that I can too. Here's what has happened since. I stopped Actemra 1 month ago. I
