Down to 1 mg Pred and how to let go?!
I feel much better than 2018 and will always be grateful to the
prednisone
, but I do now know I have some arthritis and skeletal issues that cause some of the continuing discomfort. The reason I would like to let go of the Pred is not the weight - that came off several months ago.

I’ve been having flashes of light and now a dark spot in that eye. What to do? Could it be GCA? Back surgery on March 15.
I’m on 9mg of
prednisone
at this time. My PA requested the
prednisone
for my surgery and after surgery so I will not have an adrenal crisis. Thanks for any suggestions.

Benefits of knowing your illness/condition/disease to help others as well as yourself
It’s about time I posted that a couple of months ago my husband was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the diagnosis having had PMR, GCA/LVV myself over the past 5 and a half years and haven’t, until now, felt ready to share his story on the forum.

Flare after covid
I’ve had a fairly mild dose of covid, and lots of stress with a leaking roof, which has caused a flare. I’ve been on prednisolone since early July after waiting six months for a diagnosis. I started on 20mg and had reduced to 12.5 without much pain but that has returned. I’ve taken 15mg for two days

Advice regarding recent flare up please.
Hi, l have been tapering down my Pred and had reached 7mg. I can’t say l was pain free, but it wasn’t too bad. I have been under a lot of pressure from my Rheumatologist to taper off as quickly as possible. I had been dropping 1mg per month. In the last week my symptoms have worsened and l am in no

PREDNISONE TAPERING WITH ACTEMRA
So I went up to 60 mg
prednisone
. Now I’m at 10 mg
prednisone
and am just starting Actemra. My question is how fast can I taper
prednisone
with Actemra? PS: I feel like the PMR never came back though. I had no PMR symptoms this time around. Would that be possible?

Bruising?
Six months ago my MO switched me from Nubequa to Zytiga plus
prednisone
. Since then the bruising has become much more of a problem and my arms are covered with bruise markings. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

PREDNISONE AS A TEMPORARY PAIN RELIEF A GOOD IDEA
I have been off
prednisone
since late last year at the request of the rheumatologist. They do not believe I have PMR. Since I have been off
prednisone
I have not gone a day without pain and stiffness. My inflammation markers continue to be high. My day is truly predictable at this point.

Bleed during TWW
Hi All, I seem to bleed during the TWW, first four ivf rounds I was on either utrogestan or cyclogest pessary only and I bled day 8/9 of the TWW. Then the last two rounds I have been on one lubion and cyclogest pessary and the bleed would start on day 10/11. I have asked for prontogest for my 6th ivf

Zolendronic Acid Infusions
I know this treatment is for osteoporosis and not PMR but I’ve been offered this treatment as I’m over 65 and I’m on the cusp of being osteopenic and my bone fracture score is now just above 10.. Recently my rheumy said that the results of my dexascan were some of the best he had seen for someone on

Methotrexate not Pred
After a few appointments with Rheumatologist who was adamant I did not have PMR, he agreed to a CT scan with contrast. The result was likely PMR or large joint arthropathy. I was put back on a short course of Pred while starting Methotrexate as a longer term med. I am in contact now with Rheumatology

Use by Dates and Prednisolone
I have a prescription of unopened 1mg gastro-resistant Prednisolone tablets. They've been kept in a cool, dry place but the expiry date is Oct 23. There seems to be mixed opinions from my research online as to whether you can continue to use Prednisolone after the expiry date, and for how long after

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and
prednisone
. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle.

pain….is it PMR or something else?
I’m on 9 mg of
prednisone
and haven’t tried increasing the dose, if this isn’t PMR. My latest sed rate, CPR are right at the edge of being over the limit, been steadily increasing for 3 months.
