Dizzy spells not magic
Hi, I am down to 2mg of prednisolone and have had some days of fatigue which I managed with rest. I seem to have reduced fairly swiftly from 20mg which I started in early March 22 for PMR.. I am having more frequent days where I feel more energetic and just have some stiffness in legs in the morning

WOW, noticing today, after some weak days at 5mg prednisone, I am again feeling good and energetic, added meth and hydroxy dropped metformin
I was at 5 a few weeks go, but too hastily dropped and went to 2.5, and on the 3rd day at 2.5 felt terrible. Jumped back to 10 and then 7.5. And since I have gone back to 5, after maybe a week at 5, I am again feeling great, better than I did the last time I was at 5. There are some differences now,

Uncertain diagnosis
I was diagnosed with RA by a rhumatology consultant back in 2015. They put me on all the rhumatology meds and even tried biologics with no success. Now in 2023 a different consultant has stated he doesn't think I have RA but I may have fibromyalgia but he won't commit to this. He has taken me off my

Reducing TCZ?
I feel I'm on the home straight with my GCA/PMR, down to 2mg prednisone daily and weekly TCZ, (which I started Nov 21 and buy on private script as methotrexate was a nightmare for me)Rheumy says to get off pred completely before reducing TCZ. However, my liver enzymes now worryingly high, due to TCZ

Prednisone
Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well. So I was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and I have severe OA everywhere tested positive ra factor ana.ANA. but rheumatologist said I don't have RA. This was two years ago now my toes are deforming and I went back to my primary doctor because I was feeling

er scare
yesterday I had my worst “episode” ever—after an uneventful start to my day, I suddenly felt like I was going to collapse. Couldn’t breathe, could barely talk, weak, too weak to stand. My husband took me to er where my bp was very high (of course); spent the day. Long story short: not one thing wrong

Best way to take Prednisolone
Have different brand of Prednisolone this week so read the information leaflet and it says to dissolve the tablets in large glass of water and wondered if that is a better way to take them ? Previous brand just said take as directed by docter but as there was no instruction I’ve just been swallowing

Anemia
I started on 80 mg of Prednisone in October of 2020. I am now taking 11 1/2 mg . I was just diagnosed with anemia. The last time I was diagnosed with anemia was in 2020 when I got GCA. I did not have anemia since then. Can taking Prednisone for almost 3 years be a cause of anemia? I will be going

What does "burn itself out" mean?
Greetings fellow pilgrims. My understanding is that PMR is caused by uncontrolled inflamation, and that the lack of control is caused by an inability to produce cortisol. Prednisone counters this. My question is, If this means my adrenal glands are not functioning properly, how will this ever change

prednisolone
Hi, I have quite mild lupus fortunately but recently I have had a lot of stress in my life and am having an awful flare. I do not take any medication. I went to see my rheumatologist who suggested a short course of steroids. Would anyone be able to help me as to whether they work and help with joint

Negative HLA-B27
Quick recap, Dr originally diagnosed me with PMR, put me on 30 mg prednisone 14 weeks ago. After no great improvement he advised me to taper off so am now reducing 1mg every 3 days, currently at 16 mg. Dr tested for HLA-B27 (possible AS or non seronegative spondylitis type but bloods showed up negative

Acid reflux
Anyone noticing difficulty swallowing along with acid reflux? I read that prednisone can cause this, causes the esophagus to not contract enough. I tried Pepcid but it's not helping.

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
My son had a PSA of 20 just 3 mo after RRP last October 24th. Prior to that we had no idea from his test results that the PC was outside of the prostate. It had gone to his pelvic lymph nodes plus he’s tertiary five. He’s been on generic Zytiga and prednisone and Lupron and finished six weeks of IMRT

Stopped Tocilizumab, CRP rising, is it a GCA flare?
I'm hoping to find someone else who had GCA, has stopped taking steroids and stopped Tocilizumab (Actemra), to know how their journey went from then on without treatment. I was diagnosed with GCA over 3 years ago. I started with prednisone, then Tocilizumab injections plus prednisone, then the injections

Mycophenolate or Azathioprine ?
Hi friends, Some of you will remember that in February I had an intolerably itchy rash my Rheumy didn’t recognise as being a Lupus rash but was confirmed by Dermy as such. After being on Prednisolone for a total of 7 weeks tapering down by 5 mg per week, my poor innards were screaming. I couldn’t

Tapering Prednisolone and anxiety.
Good morning, I have been taking varying amounts of Prednisolone since last July…20mg at the beginning when experiencing the start of RA. I started on Hydroxychloroquine in November and Methotrexate in January after having flares in those months which coincided with getting Prednisolone to around 3mg

Is it normal or a flare??
Hi, I’m fairly new to the world of PMR and have found this site invaluable for information and support. I was diagnosed in May this year, started on 15 mg and relief from all pain was within hours. Reduced to 12.5 after a month and then after another month to 10mg which I am currently on. Now I am

Neck and shoulder pain
Good Morning. My journey with Prednisolone, has been a ‘yo-yo’ experience, but eventually reaching zero after two years, although the resulting symptoms suggested that Methotrexate wasn’t the ‘all conquering hero’ of the hour. Good advice and information from fellow members indicated I might be expecting
