dissolving preds
Does anyone else dissolve their prednisolone? The latest boxes I have say they should be dissolved and taken after breakfast. I have been doing that even though the taste is pretty unpleasant and I follow it up with a couple of spoonfuls of yoghurt.

Tips or advice to help calm autoimmune flare ups at home??
I have had a few flare ups with this new medicine which is not unexpected but as much as I like Prednisone my doctor does not. Prednisone is the current treatment for flare ups but she does not do a standing order just case by case and her appointments book week to months in advance so hard to always

Rheumatologist
Hi everyone, following on from my posts of last week I had a telephone consultation with a doctor at my practice, not my usual doctor, re my swollen ankles which I have been bad for quite some time now. He seemed moreconcerned about my PMR and how long I have been on prednisolone and my current dose

First blood tests since starting Abi.
Yesterday I saw the MO and when he entered the room he had a bid smile. My Psa that had climbed from 6.6 in March to 19.14 on Sept. 5 had dropped to 4.74 yesterday. ALP was 141 Sept 5 and down to 114 yesterday. I started taking low dose Abi on Sept 9 so total treatment was 24 days. To say he was happy

Kindly requesting help again
unfortunately it now seems I have a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis as well. I’ve been really unwell with severe pain. Still waiting for an NHS appointment. Paid to see a Private Rheumatologist and I’ve also had an ultrasound scan. With all that being said, because of all the different inflammatories

How early should I take pred in the morning?
Hi everyone, I've been taking my pred around 7am every morning. However, for the past month I've been going to sleep earlier (9 pm) and waking up earlier (5 am). So . . . Should I take my prednisone earlier? To clarify, I'm down to 7.5 mg (8 and 7 on alternating days) and I want to wake up my adrenals

Drop in FT4 and FT3 but no change in meds.... confused!
Evening everyone, its been a while since I've been on here. Hope everyone is well? I have an appointment next week with my Endo and as he always does he sends me for bloods a few weeks before, for some reason this time they forgot to do the FT3 and he wanted to check my morning cortisol too, so he sent

Prednisolone and low stomach pains
Because of a vasculitis flare up I recommenced prednisolone 15mg this morning with my breakfast of porridge and blueberries. Within 2 hours I git severe stomach pains- very low down - which hasn't gone away. I spoke to my GP a short while ago and have been advised to stop them and have an appointment

Possible GCA and Treatment Questions

1 year Anniversary off Pred
June 2019 got diagnosed in the Emergency Room with PMR and prescribed 80 mg / day Prednisone. Mid-late September 2022 weaned off of Pred literally following the 10 percent rule post 10 mg / d, even going so far as cutting 1 mg in quarters to be able to do 0.25 mg decreases as I got below 3 mg / d. Took

Could a Wasp sting challenge adrenal response?
I was stung by a wasp yesterday morning and lost the whole day to pain and fatigue. It felt as if my body was responding to the attack of the tiny sting and although it wasn’t what I believe to be a full blown anaphylactic response involving swelling and difficulty breathing, within an hour my lower

Just started MTX yesterday
Thought I would share that I started MTX 7.5 mg yesterday evening. I was terrified of the side effects as I hate nausea. So I was just lying there in bed waiting for it.... I never came!! I fell asleep after 2.5 hours after taking my 5 mg nighttime pred. at 11.30 PM. So far so good. Now I need to increase

Flare while tapering--need guidance
I have been on prednisone for about 2 1/2 years. I recently got down to 8 mg a day for about 3 months with NO PAIN (oh the bliss...). I went to 7.5 mg about 3 1/2 weeks ago and am having a major flare. I know it has been discussed a lot on here, but I can't find a concise summary of how to deal with
