Prednisone
Does everyone take
prednisone
? I take it everyday 5 MG per day. Suppose to all my life. Just curious if anyone has heard of any success of someone not taking medications everyday or stopping
prednisone
all together?? That would be the dream.

Stopping Prednisone
I'm taking everolimus, mycophenolic acid and
prednisone
. The
prednisone
is causing weight gain, diabetes and, possibly, hair loss. I tapered down to 5 mg of
prednisone
over two years ago. I'm now wondering whether I can reduce further or even stop.

Prednisone - A Drug You Need But Lookout!
I was diagnosed with PMR July 2021 and immediately put on 40mg of
Prednisone
. By November, I had 2 torn rotator cuffs - both orthopedic dr and rheumatologist agree that the
Prednisone
“helped” this to happen.

Abiraterone+prednisone and incontinence
Since the day I started Abiraterone+
prednisone
my incontinence became worse. I had heard from someone that they take their
prednisone
in the evening and have had some better results - can anyone here weigh in on this?

Long term prednisone use
I have been on various doses of
prednisone
for one year now to help control my ITP. My hematologist has tried Promacta and
prednisone
. When my
prednisone
dosage was down to 5 mg with 75 mg of Promacta my platelet counts tanked. Presently I am on NPlate and 10 mg of
prednisone
.

No prednisone with Diverticulitis
The doctors said they understand my concern but taking
prednisone
could result in a further increase in possible diverticulitis infection and lead to surgery. They said they would monitor my progress on IV antibiotics and ‘possibly’ allow me to resume
prednisone
in 48 hours.

Why not just stay on prednisone instead of taking a biologic
I have had flairs which
prednisone
has handled. Now he wants to put me on Cimzia to try and get me off the
prednisone
. In what I have read, 10 mg of
prednisone
is not considered a high dose.

Prednisone
Can anyone explain to me how 50 mg of
prednisone
a day for 5 days can elevate symptoms (inflammation in nasal passages) for months?

Back again and on prednisone
Was able to get down to 1.5 dosage of
prednisone
slowly. Then the pain came back. Up to 5 mg. of
prednisone
now and think I need more because my hips hurt when I walk for over a week. Didn't want to call dr. so he would up the meds. What is your opinion of my situation?

STRESS INJURIES R/T PRED
I read
prednisone
can cause strain on tendons and ligaments. I can imagine the healing process is slowed. Never had these kind of issues before. Status update: 14mg
prednisone
. Started taper this week. Rheumatologist did not seem concerned by elevated CRP/ESR. See my last post.

Touching base 2 years after joining this community.
In January of this year I totally tapered off the
prednisone
and realised how much it was affecting me in the late afternoons as I could now walk reasonably well- I took the
prednisone
in the evening and for 2 hours either side of when my
prednisone
was due I was literally taking steps 10cm long due
