Should I increase prednisolone before arthroscopy?
I’m down to 3.5 mg pred and feeling better than I have since I started with PMR. I’m having an arthroscopy in 2 weeks for a torn meniscus. Should I stay on present dose, continue with next taper or increase dose prior to the operation? I’ll be out of hospital the same day but have been warned I will

Evening all, hope you are enjoying a nice weekend 🤗I am currently tapering my Prednisolone since Jan this year. I'm tapering from 10mg using the DSNS tapering plan over weeks.

Stuck at 6.5 Prednisolone
Hi Folks, Reduced from 7mg to 6.5 using 5 week slow reduction. All was fine until last 2days when I felt both shoulders aching again. However I decided to keep going with the 6.5 for the next 5 weeks, that is until now. During the last 5 weeks it has been only the left shoulder that has bothered me

aching legs while tapering Prednisolone
I have been successfully tapering my Prednisolone dose by 1mg a month since October last year. My CRP scores have not got beyond 2 for the past 8 months and I have no symptoms of GCA. Hurrah. But in the last 3-4 weeks I have suffered aches in both legs, front and back, day and night, and I get very tired

prednisolone and excess sweating
I find myself really struggling on humid days; even when it’s not particularly hot. I know that this may be a side-effect of prednisolone but I’m on a very small dose of 3 mg daily. However, I did have a booster shot of steroids about four weeks ago due to a long term flair. The jab is really helping

What causes cold sweats?
I’ve been taking Prednisolone for PMR since May 2021. I’ve been very gradually reducing and have been on 4mg for 1 month. I take the Pred at about 5am with yoghourt and banana. I had Covid 2 weeks ago. I didn’t up the Pred dose. I have no PMR pain. I feel ok in the mornings but have high anxiety

Allendronic Acid and Cholesterol
Telephone consultation this morning went as I thought it would. What dosage of Prednisolone are you on? 2.75mg I answered. So you will be coming down to 2mg? No, I taper by a quarter of a mg every 5 weeks. I will be tapering to 2.5mg. And so it went on! I am advised that I need to start taking Allendronic

Suspected flare - ? When to up the steroids
Hi, I’m posting this query although I think I know what the answer will be. It’s almost 4 years since my PMR diagnosis. The lowest dose of Prednisolone I’ve managed so far is 8.5 mg. I’ve successfully reduced from 10mg at the start of January 24 (.5 mg at a time) using the DSNS (5 weeks) to 8.5 mg

Advice on DEXA scan results
Hi everyone, I haven't posted for a while but have been following the forum. As a quick recap I am now 48 years old, I was diagnosed with PMR in January 2022 following a blood test that showed raised ESR and CRP markers. I was fairly active prior to the symptoms starting, I first started experiencing
