Struggling
Hi everyone, I am struggling to find out what is wrong still. Its been about 4 weeks since the dogs attacked mine and ever since my health has gone downhill. I was doing so well before. Suddenly started getting really debilitating pains in my right side so had an xray yesterday and waiting for results

PMR and MS
I was diagnosed with PMR in 2014 and put onto 15mg Prednisolone. I struggled to reduce the dose over the next 6 years never getting below 3.5. In 2020 my Rheumy Consultant sent me for a brain scan as “it’s the only bit of you we’ve never looked at!” Scan showed I was in the Secondary Progressive phase

Prednisone Tapering Challenge
This is the third try for me at tapering off of Prednisone. I started @ 15mg for PMR. The first few times, I'm sure I rushed trying to get to zero. Even got to zero mg the second time and had to jump back to 5 to get some relief. This time I used the Dead Slow Method and had to extend that beyond

Covid
Hi I’ve just tested positive for Covid . I’m on 5 mg of prednisone and 15 mg methotrexate. Is there any advice about how to manage meds while having Covid. I feel very achy and it feels like I’m having a flare. Thanjs in advance for any advice.

Steroids _ I hate them!
I have been on prednisolone for 12 years because of Lupus, I am on 5mg daily. Two years ago I started Sarilumab SC injection once a fortnight which appears to be working . I really want to come off prednisolone, to try and get some weight off. My Consultant was going through my drugs

Tapering and adrenals
Tapering and adrenals.I am currently at 7.5 mg prednisolone. I've been slowly tapering by half an mg every four weeks for nearly a year. This has worked well. This tapering follows a pattern: first 2/3 weeks super, nearly pain-free then niggles and after niggles subside, reduction, then ok again. I

My Dad's symptoms are worse
Thank you for the replies to my first post about my Dad.On Monday my parents saw a GP and he was examined. The GP felt that may be my Dad's worsening symptoms were caused or contributed to by the Prednisone. He said that he would contact the consultant. The consultant at the John Radcliffe Oxford has

Reducing steroids after illness
I should know this and I have written it down somewhere. When I first had the acute urinary infection I doubled up from 5mgs of Prednisolone to 10 and my CRP was 270, it was 70 last week and I was told to continue doubling until I had finished the antibiotics which I did today. As it is only 12 days

Flare or not?

By how should I increase my prednisone?
Hi All,I have had PMR since 2011 when diagnosed. I had got down to 5mg of pred and was on this dosage for many years until I had a massive flare at the beginning of 2023 and I increased my dosage, then gradually came down to 8 and 3/4mg. I am a 72 year old fit male. I have been going to my physiotherapist

Prophylactic Prednisone
I am wondering if any recovered PMR sufferers now use prednisone prophylactically (or even neurotically)? For example, is there anyone out there who continues to regularly take a very low dose (e.g., 1 mg), notwithstanding that they are completely symptom free. Or perhaps there are some folks who take

Return of PMR
My PMR has returned. To my hands and wrists. I was surprised to learn that PMR can attack the hands, wrists, and knees as well as, but not as often as, the hips and shoulders. When I tapered off of prednisone I used a super slow method which I don't remember. Can someone please tell me that method? Has

Temporal Artiritis - Mums current status
With no improvement in her condition, and another week before she sees any specialists, the road is still pretty shakey. She has one day in 3 without pain, and typically now 3-4 episodes of blindness in her left eye daily. We have found that either the blindness or combination of extreme pain happen

Hi everyone! I have been dealing with PMR since last July and have being on Prednisone since then. I started at 15 milligrams, I am down to 5 but I am having a hard time lowering the dose.

How long do you wait to up prednisone with GCA pain
I upped my prednisone from 12 to 15 this morning but the pain in my temple area is getting worse. I just upped it again by 5 mg so I am at 20 now. Should I up it more or just give this amount time to work? I have been having a terrible time with the flares. Just saw the doctor on Monday and he wanted

Switching from Abi to Enza?
Hi everyone, my father has been taking Abiraterone since 2.5 years now (along with prednisolone 5mg). It has nicely brought down his PSA from 500 to less than 1 and kept it steadily less than 1 since the past one year. He, of course, takes Lupron alongside. However, Abiraterone has resulted in some side

It doesn’t rain ..,
That’s what DL said in response to my last post about my recently discovered breast lump that was harmless other than 40 year old calcifications need to been scanned, gout that is in remission and intermittent voice loss I am sure is GERD and have an appointment to see the ENT man. No problems there
