Prednisone

So, last night I took 40mg of prednisone with dinner. Slept all night (with a couple of potty breaks) and had NO rls. First time in months. Going to try 30 mgs of prednisone tonight. Has anyone else experienced this with prednisone?

prednisone

I have been given prednisone 40mg per day for 5 days. I’ve read the possible side effects which are concerning. I have a chest infection and also have to take antibiotics for 5 days also. I’ve gone through posts with this subject and can see some people have been on it for years.

Prednisone

He prescribed Prednisone 25-50mg per day. He has given me 3 repeats. I see him in June. I have been reading so much about prednisone I am spinning. I took one 25mg tablet then stopped. Thinking about the future weight gain and moon face really bother me. I just dont know what to do.

Relationship of PMR and Prednisone

Could the PRM disappear while still taking prednisone?  If not, then prednisone (or tapering it) does, in fact, seem to cure PMR in some way.  This would indicate that Prednisone doesn’t just mask the PMR symptoms.  What am I missing?

Off Prednisone?

Finally did it:-). How long until one feels symptoms returning if they are going to? I just took 10 months reducing from 3mg. (Started at 40!)

Prednisone and Blood Sugar Levels

I am wondering what other member’s experience has been with prednisone and increasing A1c levels? I had been very consistently in the normal range for long term blood sugar levels until I started the prednisone last August.

Contradicting themselves on the same site

You could expect a dose of prednisone to stay in your system for 16.5 to 22 hours. The elimination half life of prednisone is around 3 to 4 hours. This is the time it takes for your body to reduce the plasma levels by half.

Prednisone and non PMR body pain

As I understand, prednisone lessens PMR pain by reducing inflammation and lowering your immune system. If a person was on prednisone, for say months, would the prednisone also mask non PMR body pains?

weight gain after stopping prednisone?

I’m keen to stay off prednisone as the emotional roller coaster makes day to day life difficult. How long will these symptoms last? Has anyone heard of weight gain after prednisone?

Covid/PMR Questions

My doctor had warned me that because of the prednisone, I needed to contact her if I had exposure to or showed symptoms of Covid or any other bug. My recollection is that she said if I got sick, she would increase my dose of prednisone since my own immune system was suppressed by the prednisone.

Prednisone quandary

Im looking for some advice please. I'm currently on 7mg or pred and have been for many years. However over the last week I've experienced difficulty in walking. It's feels like I'm walking in deep mud. I've learnt to tolerate this problem but last Thursday it was quite extreme. I came home from walking

Restart on Prednisone in prep for Camino-Update

In the past two years I have spent as much time on prednisone as I have been off. The fact is, I feel the PMR symptoms when not on prednisone. At higher doses >5mg I feel the side effects. I am in a state "damn if you do, damn if you don't".

update on Prednisone taper below 5 mg and question about timing of daily dose

I think I will continue to take the prednisone ~ 5 am. What I wonder is, if I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, could I take the prednisone then? Or could I take the prednisone at 11 pm or midnight? I’m often up at that time.

Moods while tapering/sadness and also so cold all the time!

Have others experienced depression when lowering prednisone dose? I am so sad since I tapered to 7.0 mg prednisone. The pain is absent but I am just tired, sad, and lack energy. I am also so cold all the time! Is this normal?
