AM Cortisol Test
I have tapered to 5mg using Dorset Lady’s 5 week taper. Curiosity got the better of me and last week I had an am cortisol test done. The lab where I had the test said it had to be done before 10am. I was aware that the earlier in the morning the better, but because I take my thyroid medication first

Side-effects of using Ventolin every day
Does anyone here use Ventolin every day? I need it every time I go outside, and it gives me 4-5 hrs of relief from the chest tightness, "bubble" in my chest, and shortness of breath. So I am thinking just to take it in the morning every day and so be it. I need to get things done (e.g. to get a new job

Chinese Medicine?
I met a Doctor of Chinese Medicine the other day. She gave me her card and said she does online consultations. I thought she seemed very sincere and was not simply touting for business. My question is has anyone with PMR been helped by Chinese Medicine? I know that Prednisone is the only known way

OK! I'm starting to prednisone taper again...
Yesterday I saw my rheumatologist after 4 months. I'd been doing really well on my tapering every three weeks and was at 3mg when I had the shoulder replacement surgery in July. We scheduled my follow-up for September since I was doing so well at my last visit in early June. I remained at the three

Breast pain on prednisolone
This might be a bit of a strange one, but have you experienced twinges in the breast on pred? I get these quite sharp twinges every now and again and I wondered if it might be the pred? A very quick google suggests it might be. I mentioned it to the radiographer last week when I had a routine mammogram

Vaccines & Increased Prednisone
Diagnosed with PMR in August 2022. Started at 20 mg Prednisone, down to 5 mg of prednisone. Also prescribed hydroxychloroquine. My rheumatologist instructed me to get RSV and Pneumonia vaccines which I did today. He is prescribing me biologic, Kevzara because I am experiencing quite a bit of discomfort

OK! Arrived at the 1mg/day prednisone level

Update on painful buttocks and thighs
My rheumatologist requested a CRP test for me yesterday, and it was below 3, low normal range. As I think back, I may have over done it four days in a row, and this may just be very sore muscles. My mother would have called it being “lame.” I have been taking it very easy the last couple days and

Possible sinus problems.

Just don't know what to do with myself
Was supposed to see the rheumatologist a month after first appointment but now it will be 14 weeks and a rheumatology nurse cannot phone me back for 6 weeks so have no choice but to see the GP on Monday. Been following tapering instructions to take me down to 20mg only but unsure how to proceed now.

Painkillers with Prednisolone
I have some slight hip and shoulder pains that may or may not be caused by PMR, I am not sure how I can tell? I have just got back down to 8mg of Prednisolne for the second time and intend to stay at 8mg until I return from holiday. My question is;- I am off on holiday next week and think I need

What next? Is my man a candidate for Pluvicto?

He has now been on Abi & Prednisone for 2 weeks, although after

Prednisolone and Omeprazole
I have had PMR and GCA for 7 Years and was told I had to take 10 mg daily of Omeprazole which I have been on for the 7 Years. I am now on 3mg steroids but have been getting a lot of tummy upsets and wondered if the long term use of Omeprazole is causing it. I have gone Lactose and Gluten free as well

painful thighs and buttocks
My initial symptoms and PMR pain were all in my shoulders, neck, hands, and wrists. I was diagnosed in Dec 2019. Tapered off prednisone too fast (now I know) in 14 months; and it came back one month later after my second COVID (Moderna) vaccine. Just shoulders and arms, but made them very painful

Update on 8/4 post from alperk
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated, 35 grays in 5 fractions. PSA crept back up to 4.2 on 9/6 and scan showed again only one active site in nearly the same location

Methotrexate Confusion
I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in 2015! I naively thought that these conditions would have “burned themselves out” some time ago, but I am still waiting! In the meantime I have a question about Methotrexate… On the suggestion of my Rheumatologist I started taking 10mg of Methotrexate a week in 2017
