Prednisone Taper
This is the second time that I have jumped up from 3mg to 8mg because of severe leg and knee pain, shoulder etc and a lot of fatigue. This was recommended and works beautifully. After two weeks I am suppose to drop back to 3mg but I feel so good, I don’t want to. What do my experts think? Thank

PS to Periodontal Abscess and Prednisone
Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to my post about gum/tooth infections and prednisone. All the replies were helpful! I did manage to generate one last question. Did any of you who had tooth extractions go on to have dental implants? I am leaning against due to cost and issues related to

Uvitis when tapering prednisone
My eyes became very sore a month ago, on Christmas day actually. I had headaches around my eyes. They were very red and stingy. There was no discharge or stickiness like you get with conjunctivitis. Nonetheless, I was diagnosed with viral conjunctivitis by a GP. The condition got better but I still have

stopping Actemera
hello, I posted a few weeks ago about my problem getting my infusion early. I finally got them to agree to do it one day early having to leave two days late for my trip. I see a new Rheumatologist tomorrow. All my markers are very very low. I am seriously thinking of skipping the infusion. If will mean

Lupron Question.
I have been on Lupron since June 2022. September 2023 Abiraterone and 5mg of prednisone was added. Psa was 19 in Sept and dropped to 1.26 as of Jan. 11 2024. Since going on Abi when I get a monthly Lupron shot I have trouble sleeping that first night and mild flu like symptoms the next day. I have agreed

PN guy
had pudendal neuralgia for 5 years . It went away but everything I tried was not helping. Best help was tramadol by far. Those tricyclics were awful and did nothing. Caused irregular heart beat . Cymbalta felt like I was nuts. All the pt and injections did nothing including rf blocks. Now after 7 years

3rd attempt at tapering down from 5mg prednisolone.
Diagnosed May 2022, started with 30mg tapering down until I was on 7mg when symptoms began to appear again. I continued down to 2mg hoping the body would adjust but could not move much so doctors increase dose and i start tapering down again, back to 4 and symptoms return, back to 6 and awaiting a call

Routine is a good thing?
Greetings Warriors, I have been sitting on the sofa for about an hour now thinking how grand it is that I have been on the same treatment regiment for almost ten years. Each day I wake up and without thinking, reach to my nightstand and take four Zytiga, a 5 mg prednisone and my blood pressure medicine

Managing Prednisone dose with PMR
I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023. ESR was 57 CRP was 46. My GP put me on 50mg of Pred for a few days with a slow tapering down. Currently I am on 3mg but am really uncomfortable day & night, and unable to do some normal daily tasks such as brushing hair, drying my back after a shower, vacuuming

Abiraterone + Prednisone with Preexisting CAD

Am I an "outlier"?
Simply wanted to report on what happened after I stopped taking Prednisone. I was diagnosed with PMR in August, 2022 and put on 13 mg of prednisone daily and 70mg of Fosamax, once weekly (to counter the bone loss associated with prednisone), In the fall of 2023, I finally got down to 1mg of prednisone

steroids and diuretics
we may need to discuss some diuretics with the GP. Mum is currently receiving some respite care and her legs are becoming swollen….they’re not as good as insisting on the elevation as I do at home. I notice there’s a bit of a flag with prednisolone and furosemide due to potassium issues. Has anyone

New research??
I’m not thinking of trying this as I’m happy with how my tapering is going and I’m feeling pretty ok. But I read this on another site and the person who posted was a PMR sufferer and had switched their prednisolone taking to 20mg once a week and feel that’s working for them. So am curious to know if

Down to half a mg of Prednisolone daily, but what is this?
I am down to half a mg of Prednisolone daily, with hopes of being steroid free by the new year, but have been having shooting pains in fingers for the last couple if weeks. In the last few days has escalated to painful wrists and was hoping it was only arthritis! Started taking paracetamol, which helped
