Update on severe skin lesions
She stopped the infusions and had me on an increased dose of
prednisone
30 for 5 days, 20 for 5, 10 for 5 days and back to my 5mg
prednisone
that I had tapered to. I also stopped taking Colchicine which we had started to counteract continual mouth ulcers.

Medication Change mid-Induction
My first treatment that started almost 3 months ago was Rituximab with
Prednisone
. At first things were going well with eGFR improving and becoming stable and creatinine falling. Now after almost 3 months it looks like there is some kind of relapse before reaching the 6 month period.

Maintenance dose of prednisone - how effective?
For people who are on this all the time or during the winter months, what mg are you on and does it stop infections turning bad?

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.

GCA and Cough/Interstitial Lung Disease?
I’m currently tapering
prednisone
for 40 mg. I have been on 35 mg for the past 2 weeks and am supposed to taper to 30 mg starting this week, but I have decided to stay at 35 for now. Any thoughts, experiences, advise, are more than welcome! Thank you all!

Tiredness from Zytiga
He takes the Zytiga at 9:30 am with the
prednisone
on an empty stomach and has 1 Lupron injection. He is unable to wake up until late afternoon and is always tired and we were wondering if the Zytiga had anything to do with his extreme lethargy or if it was the advanced disease itself.

Antihistamines and Prednisone, are they compatible?
In the case of pollen allergies, is it ok to take an antihistamine while on
Prednisone
? I have mild symptoms, runny nose and teary eyes and so far haven't taken any antihistamines, but would it be safe to do so if symptoms get worse?

Long Haul advice and prednisone, please.
I’ve got the thumbs up from my ( yet another new) rheumy to increase my
prednisone
from 8.5mg to 10 mg daily ( more if I need it) since I’m really struggling now anyway . How should I manage the time difference and taking all my drugs ? I normally take them all at about 9 am.

Prophylactic Prednisone
I am wondering if any recovered PMR sufferers now use
prednisone
prophylactically (or even neurotically)? For example, is there anyone out there who continues to regularly take a very low dose (e.g., 1 mg), notwithstanding that they are completely symptom free.

Prednisone for treatment of AIG
I've just been started on
Prednisone
or Prednisolone, immunosuppressant steroids, for treatment of Autoimmune Gastritis/autoimmune PA. This has recently, within the last few years been shown to possibly heal AIG, although not entirely cure.

Prednisone
steroid tablets for 6 weeks (3 tablets daily for 2 weeks then 2 tablets daily for 2 weeks then 1 tablet daily for 1 week.These are all immune suppressants so no surprise I have ended up with shingles round half my waist. Was given antiviral tablets for one week.

They have spoken to my rheumatologist who is now going to make further investigations and is keeping me on 10mg of
prednisone
instead of removing me from them in May.
