Do I have PMR?
I did some research on my own after having these pains in my shoulders, upper arms, hips and lower back. Getting out of bed, turning over in bed, getting up from a chair, or reaching for something was very painful. I’ve been having back issues with a slipped vertebrae for about 2 years. I’ve had 3 epidural

Coming Off Calquence (
I was put on Calquence (acalabrutinibam) 2 years ago due to Hemolytic Anemia. We tried prednisone for 3 years but every time they took me off my hemoglobin would drop and eventually it was determined I needed treatment. As of now my numbers are looking really good and I'm considering going off of it

Gastric side effect of PMR medications
Hello, I am relatively newly diagnosed with PMR, in July 2023, and just starting my tapering journey. I started on 20mg Prednisolone (now just reached 10mg), plus I take 15mg Lansoprazole and once a week 70mg Alendronic Acid. I started well, feeling great with the loss of my joint pain, but after

Rheumatologist diagnosis
Hi My Rheumy says my PMR is atypical with a normal CRP . My ESR is 39 . Which she believes is normal and it’s due to my weight - 14 stone . Wants to refer me to physio, this will be excruciating . The pain already makes me feel sick and like I’m going to pass out . She did ‘query’ inflammatory arthritis

Pred and unable to sleep
Hello. I often end up on several courses of prednisolone over the autumn and winter due to chest infections. Usually needing more than one course of steroids to settle my asthma back down I struggle to sleep with pred, especially for the first 2 - 3 nights. Does anyone have suggestions for helping?

Increase dosage and taper
I have been managing my PMR for seven years, and on prednisone for five of those years after thinking I could manage it withou meds. Dumb idea. I can taper down to 4mg or 5mg, but have to then increase to a higher dosage to address a reoccurring pain and numbness in arms. Is there a magical formula

Cutting a 1mg tablet into 4?
Having got down to 10mg I’ve been tapering prednisolone by approximately 0.5mg a month. I’m now at 1mg and looking to reduce further in a couple of weeks but a little nervous about a 50% reduction to 0.5mg. Has anyone successfully cut plain 1mg tablets into 4 to produce a 0.75mg dose or is there a better

Methotrexate sensitivity
I found out this morning that I seem to have a sensitivity to Methotrexate. My liver function test result is 60 and after a break from the drug, it was 23. This has happened twice before. The rheumatology nurse says to miss my dose on Thursday and she will get back to me with a plan after speaking to

Alternate day prednisolone.
I have been on Prednisolone since June 2018. I have gradually reduced the dose and got down successfully to 4mg/day. I have reduced further using DSNS but have always relapsed after a couple of weeks. Alternate day prednisolone is used in some situations in Paediatrics. It is thought to reduce adrenal

What would you do?
Hello, I haven't checked in for a very long time because everything had been going ok.I've been on Prednisolone for 3 years this Christmas after getting diagnosed with PMR back in October 2020. Initial advised taper was too sharp, I flared very quickly and painfully. But, after joining this forum back

Pain in neck, shoulders and arms
I have been experiencing pain in my neck shoulders and arms for almost 2 years. At one point well over a year ago, I upped my Prednisone from 10 mg to 20 mg on my doctor’s advice. It helped a little but not enough. I might have been wrong but I did not want to take any more Prednisone than the 20. I

Getting to the End of the Road...
Hi - I'm currently on .5 mg, and on Monday I will reduce down to .25 mg of prednisone for 2 weeks, AND THEN THAT'S IT (fingers crossed). Yes, I'm apprehensive about "the end", wondering if the inflammation will just come back or if it will finally be over. I have plenty of prednisone in case I need

PMR diagnosis
I am a 68 year old female who was diagnosed with PMR in December. I began on Prednisone 20 mg, and responded well, so my Prednisone was reduced to 15 mg for one week, followed by 10 mg currently. CRP 41.8, ESR 45.During that time my headaches continued, and possibly worsened. They are mostly constant
