Paroxysmal AF and Asthma
Here I am again, asking questions about PAF! I also have bronchiectasis and asthma. I hadn't had an AF episode since mid April which was great. However over the last couple of weeks I have been having frequent asthma attacks. It came to a head on Sunday/Monday when I had been up most of the night

nearly there
After nearly 10 years of prednisolone I am down to daily dose 0.5mg,/ 0.5mg /zero (recurring). I am feeling fairly tired most days and on bad days I have joint pain, slight nausea which is cured by two paracetamol and going back to bed. I am unsure if I should keep going and my system will eventually

Plantar fascia tear, due to long-term prednisone use?
Following sudden and agonising heel pain on Monday morning, I've seen my physio. He says it's an unusual injury, but likely due to long-term steroids. I have a tear to my plantar fascia, where it inserts under the heel. He strapped it and suggested heel cups to lift my heel (Amazon) and only supportive

Sleep Cycles on Prednisone
I am on 40 mg prednisone for CGA. My sleep has not improved from the lower dosage. When I get sleepy, I lie down and sleep for 2 hours. Wake up very alert and 4 hours later am sleepy again. I lie down again for another 2 hours and the same cycle goes on all day and night. I take about 4 two hour

Reevaluation for Diagnosis
Went to rheumatologist on Friday, dragged myself in with so much pain and lethargy. I was reduced from 20 mg to 0 in six days after being on prednisone for eight weeks. I also mentioned I had blurred vision and went to eye doc and they said I have cataracts and dry eyes. But also had some jaw pain and

Relapse plus UTI
I took my 'last' quarter mg of prednisone in April this year, after four years of PMR. In the months since then have been plagued with constant colds etc (now over all that, finally got antibiotics to knock it all on the head), but that seems to have been very common in this country ( NZ) after Covid

Prednisone to Hydrocortisone
My last visit to my rheumatologist she recommended I see an endocrinologist because my most recent Dexa scan (2022) hadn’t improved from my last one (2020). My Dexa scans say osteopenia but my rheumatologist looks at the reports and there’s some other formula that brings me into osteoporosis. So she

Gum Sensitivity on Prednisone
I am on 40 mg of prednisone for GCA. Does Prednisone cause gum sensitivty and brittle nails? My gums now bleed easily. They never did before CGA. Always had strong nails. Not anymore? Any comments much appreciated\ Groda

What to do for the stiffness.
Coming up on 4 years since I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA. I have tapered to 2 mg of Prednisone daily. Labs are all good. The stiffness is not going away. Mornings are pretty bad, as well as during the night. If I sit still for more than 30 minutes I am so stiff I can not walk normally. Most of the

Is it Adrenal Insufficiency
I am down to 4.5mg Prednisolone. It has been up and down but OK. Two weeks or longer on this dose before I even start trying for 4mg. Yesterday I took the train for London for a DEXA scan and BT prior to seeing Rheumy next week. It was awful. The train was crowded with snotty coughing kids - standing

Not sure if its really PMR
Hi everyone, as per my previous post I've just been told that my symptoms suggest I have PMR. My GP has sought advice from Rheumatology and been advised to treat as PMR and see how my symptoms go. I started 20mg of Prednisolone per day on Tuesday and felt almost instant relief. I also have osteoarthritis

Painkillers
Hi, sorry for my second post in as many days! What painkillers are safe to take with prednisolone please? I'm assuming paracetamol but wasn't sure if anything else was OK to take? I suffer with a lot of migraines (after effects of having a blood clot on my brain several years ago) and the best thing
