My GCA Update
My Rheumy just called to say that my temporal artery biopsy came back positive. She put me on 60 mg. prednisone and submitted a request for approval of Actrema from my insurance. I’m not happy that I have it, but it does feel like a relief to know what is causing me to feel so poorly.

Staying on 5mg indefinitely.....
Forgive me if I've brought this up before but after my rheumatologist advised me that there are little or no side effects when on 7.5mg prednisolone providing one takes the right precautions - Calcium, Vit D supplements and healthy eating habits e.g. low or no sugar, low or no carbs, etc. I thought I

Questions about using prednisone for a flare
Hello I have recently been taken off of methotrexate and only using rinvoq also using some Celebrex and Tylenol. Those meds are really not enough, I've started having pain in feet and overall inflammation. My doctor said I can have prednisone if I need it. I was just wondering how much prednisone

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking Bicalutamide 50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection. This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance

Use of CDB 10 mg pills
I am currently on 12 mg prednisone and 20 mg methotrexate a week for PsA and maybe PMR. I have heard that taking CDB can help with relaxing, sleeping and general feeling down due to the way this illness makes you feel. Is this safe?

Not sure what's going on
I've had a fairly decent year. I've got PMR with extracranial GCA / LVV. I've been on 7 megs prednisone for most of that time, upping the dose for a couple of days whenever I've had stress. For the last 3 weeks, though, I have had lots of aches and pains (hips, knees, shoulders) along with more than

What's going on?
Hi, just a recap...was diagnosed with PMR early this year by GP, (am 48 yrs) started on 30 mg prednisone then tapered down, increased pain so back to 30 mg again. Also had numerous bloods, ultrasounds, x rays, ct scan which showed bursitis in both hips and shoulders. GP referred to rheumatologist. He

Statins
A Doctor at the Diabetes Clinic (I am pre-diabetic) recommended statins when I inquired about how to offset the tendency of Prednisone to raise blood sugar. I don't want to take them. Is there a valid reason why I should? I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023 and I am currently on 12.5 mg of Prednisone

Just had My Monthly Injection of Firmagon Monthly Labs PSA is Up <0.06 to 0.09
That’s pretty modest. I’m assuming I will wait till next month to see if it goes down. Kind of stressed with this new diverticulitis and blood bowel thing AND Moving. Got results of psa after I saw My Medical Oncologist so haven’t discussed modest jump. Even with bleeding from rectum the gastroenterologist

Tezepelumab/Spirometry with Reversibility
Hi, hope everyone is managing well. I’m just looking to hear others experiences if possible. I’m quite complex and don’t show a high FeNO and spirometry is normal and my asthma is driven by neutrophils for inflammation. Best peak flow is 440, hovering around 220-350 - 220 is pre meds in the morning

PMR/GCA Solitary Lung Nodule
I have a diagnosis of Atypical PMR symptoms started December 2022 Consistent throughout past 9months since symptoms began has been a chest wall pain mostly at shoulder blade level.

Congestion
I have Bronchiectasis and Asthma, over the past month or so I am continually congested with unpleasant mucus. I had a few days of, for me, severe asthma, which was sorted out with a short course of prednisolone. I just cannot seem to get rid of the congestion, keeping me awake at night and I am so

Medication interaction
I was recently diagnosed with AF and heart failure and prescribed digoxin and Bisoprolol as well as Edoxaban and now wonder if it is still safe to start my rescue pack on top of these. I have had Doxycyclin and 8 prednisolone daily prior to this. Also as breathlessness is supposedly a side effect of

Prostate cancer but normal PSA?
HI All. I had my first ever PSA at the age of 62 and it came in at over 26. I took a repeat and it came in at 25, then a week later I took another and it was 29. I had a biopsy that came back positive (cancer in 11 of 12 samples) and even though both my CT and bone. However, they indicated that since

Stopped Actemra, new questions
Hi community, I decided to stop Actemra after 1 year so I am not on so many drugs. I was concerned about the risk of infections, diverticulitis, etc. I figured that so many people have done this with only Prednisone, that I can too. Here's what has happened since. I stopped Actemra 1 month ago. I

Does GCA ever go away or just into remission?
hi. I have GCA but off prednisone since end of June. No flares since. Is GCA gone or once you have it you always have it and I've just been lucky to have no flares so far? Is it something I always need to be little alert to? Thanks for any thoughts you might have. I read here daily and so appreciate

My story of my 23 year battle with Pca.
I have decided to share this with the group because yesterday a guy shared his fear. In no way should you take any of this as a suggestion for treatment or refusal of treatment. I was diagnosed with Pca Gleason 3+3 July 13 2000 ar the age of 49. When the Dr. gave me the results I started sweating profusely
