Periodontal Abscess while on Prednisone
After 17 months of PMR, I am now down to 5mg of
prednisone
and wonder if I should be on an antibiotic while my gum issue is assessed and treated by the endodontist. Has anyone in the community experienced a dental infection while on
prednisone
and if so, how was it handled?

He is responding well to the medicines and is on Zytiga +
Prednisone
(5 mg). He got a bilateral orchidectomy done as well, so no Lupron. I wanted to get recommendations for oncologists especially those dealing with Prostate cancer in Ontario, Canada. Please help. Thank you.

After 25 days back on prednisone...
I have almost completed the first month back on 20mg day of
prednisone
. The effect was immediate, pain gone, stiffness gone, fatigue better, am motivated and catching up with chores I had neglected for months.

PMR and new COVID mNRA vaccine
I was 1 month off
prednisone
in March 2021 when I received the second of two initial (Moderna) vaccines. PMR came back within a couple days; could not lift my arms or turn over in bed. I started back on
prednisone
sometime in April 2021 after blood tests showed elevated ESR and CRP.

High platelet count due to iron deficiency anaemia maybe?
I have felt pretty much ok since reducing to 10mg
prednisone
over the past week or so, A little tired maybe on some days. Has anyone else had similar issues at all? Bloods never seem to settled down!

Pacing Activity with GCA
I was diagnosed with GCA in April 2024 and am currently on 40 mg of
prednisone
and methotrexate. I have not felt “normal” by any means but recently I was able to do a bit more even with my heavy legs/arms and fatigue.

Endurance Athlete w PMR
My family physician sent me to rheumatologist who put me on
prednisone
- 20 mg/day ~ 1 week, 10 mg/day ~ 2 weeks then slowly reducing to 3 mg/day over course of 1 1/2 years. I brought myself down to 1 1/2 mg/day a couple of years ago.

flare concern
When trying to reduce from 2.5 mg of
prednisone
to 2 it created more stiffness. However for the month of January at 2.5 mg I was probably all along more sore than I should have been. Two weeks ago I went to 8 mg for 10 days then seven days ago went down to 3 mg.

General Headache Question
Question 1: If a GCA patient has a headache and they take extra
prednisone
(thinking it a flare) and the headache goes away, is that evidence that the headache was in fact inflammatory in nature?

Can PMR without Prednisone lead to GCA?
PMR without
Prednisone
doesn't "cause" GCA, but if GCA is present the
Prednisone
will reduce the inflammation thus reducing the damage caused by GCA. Not sure I have that right. Someone commented that not taking
Prednisone
if PMR present might lead to GCA. Confused.

Two weeks ago I was given, what the Rummy called a maintenance dose, of Rituximab and of course 125mg of
prednisone
first. All good apart from little sleep after the Pred! But now OK but very tired all the time could be the ANCA or the meds who knows.

Right Temple Pain but Tolerable
I’m currently taking 35 mg of
prednisone
and dropping to 30 mg on May 11. My first rheumatologist appointment is May 16. GCA was not confirmed by biopsy but I’m not convinced it’s not GCA or some other type of vasculitis.

Heebeejeebies on low pred??
I have been down to 1mg of
prednisone
since January and toggling back and forth between 1 and 1/2 mg since April. But I feel mentally out of whack. Paranoid. Insecure. Incompetent. Stupid compared to others. Depressed. Anxious.

Quick question about blood tests
Diagnosed in early November; struggling with flares so I am presently alternating between 17 and 16mg
prednisone
. Blood tests this week (Sed rate and C-reactive) came back normal. Is that odd? I have a first appointment with rheumatologist on Monday next week. Thanks for advice.

Can you help regarding symptoms?
I am presently on 10 mgs
prednisone
. I think I probably do have PMR as I am uncomfortable and have neck and facial soreness at this dose. I had a thorough eye exam, all is well. Should I worry about irregular transient jaw or head soreness (not serious pain) since my eyes are fine?
