prednisone and tinnitus treatment ?
Do any of you have experience of taking
prednisone
/ prednisolone to combat noise induced tinnitus incidents? My understanding is it can be very helpful if taken within a two week window of the event.

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg
Prednisone
for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was dealing with anxiety. In the middle of all that he had Covid & osteoporosis.

"Castration resistant"
I have had 2 Eligard shots and been on 500 mgs of Abiraterone plus 5mgs of
prednisone
daily. Can I assume I am Castration resistant?

prednisone and antibiotics
Has anyone had a problem with antibiotics wiping out
prednisone
. Was down to 2.5-lowest in 8 years. Took antibiotics (Bactrim) and all old PMR symptoms came back. Hurt all over. Read Bactrim and Cipro are quinolones and do not work well with Steroids. Neither Dr or pharmacist knew this.

Flare?
A&E put her on 10mg
prednisone
. The next day she was remarkably better, with most of the pain gone. However, she still had some pain. But from the severe pain she had been experiencing before the
prednisone
, she was feeling so much better.

Prednisone Tapering
I have been tapering using the DS method for 6 months. I am now tapering from 2mg to 1 1/2. In two days I will be @ 1 1/2 for seven days, then 1, back to 1 1/2 for 6 days and so on. While I am not in any muscle pain I am extremely fatigued. Does being extremely fatigued means I am having a flare

what color is your prednisone?
I’ve been taking
prednisone
forever. My 1 mg pills have always been white. Opened new bottle today, pills are beige and larger Than my white ones. Called pharmacist who insisted they are 1 mg, but by a different company.

Hip pain
I have taken
prednisone
for6years and am now on 4mg. Recently I have been getting a lot of pain in hips so wonder if it's worth increasing my dosage to 5mg for a while. I also have osteoarthritis so it could be that. In the past I have had good advice from the forum can you help now thank you.

Polymyalgia
My husband has had polymylgia for about 6 years and started on 15mg
prednisone
and has only ever got down to 8mg but then can't cope so is now on 13mg . Consultant wants him to get down to 5mg .He would have no quality of life and would be in pain too much .

PS to Periodontal Abscess and Prednisone
Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to my post about gum/tooth infections and
prednisone
. All the replies were helpful! I did manage to generate one last question. Did any of you who had tooth extractions go on to have dental implants?

pmr symptoms
Currently on 15 mg
prednisone
down from orininal 20 mg for pmr diagnosis. Don’t hear others talk about pain in this area and wondering if it’s part of pmr or if something else is going on. Have talked with my gp about the possibility of developing Gca. She doesn’t think so.

Tapering Regime while on Kevzara (or other biologic)
I am grateful I was allowed to try Kevzara after 9 years on
prednisone
and never being able to get below 5 mg without a flare amongst other reasons. I have tried to look up the tapering regime for attempting a taper with this new biologic.

My Dad's symptoms are worse
Is it possible that symptoms of Autoimmune encephalitis can get worse again even though it seems that the
prednisone
is controlling the seizures my Dad was having. My Dad's skin condition has deteriorated which the GP says is due to the
prednisone
.

GCA Duration Expectations
Presently down to 12.5 mg.
prednisone
and Actemra and feeling quite well. Is it reasonable to hope that one could recover without ever flaring again? Is it unreasonable to hope to go back to life as I once knew it?

Skin Cancer Issues
They are suggesting
Prednisone
which I am very hesitant to switch to. My father was a diabetic so I'm at higher risk and going on
Prednisone
will increase it as well and there are a lot of other side effects too that don't thrill me.
