Follow-up with Rheumatologist Re: Pred Tapering
I asked if she is looking to replace the
prednisone
with methotrexate and she responded that she is looking to do just that. This is a scary endeavor and I appreciate the support received on this forum.

Managing Prednisone dose with PMR
I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023. ESR was 57 CRP was 46. My GP put me on 50mg of Pred for a few days with a slow tapering down. Currently I am on 3mg but am really uncomfortable day & night, and unable to do some normal daily tasks such as brushing hair, drying my back after a shower, vacuuming

biceps pain
Hi, I am currently at 4.75 mg of
prednisone
and I am pain free in shoulder , neck , thighs but have developed severe pain in bicep area. I thought it might be PMR returning so upped my dosage by 5 mg for a week which didn’t seem to change anything.

shingles vax
I’ve tapered down to 5mg of
prednisone
over the last 8 months and so far my PMR is at acceptably low levels. I’ve been offered the shingles vaccine and wondering whether to have it. What is your advice?

Dietary question
When I had an all-over (shoulders, neck, back, hips, knees, etc) flare five years ago, before diagnosis and before
Prednisone
, one of my doctors suggested an anti-inflammatory diet: no gluten, no dairy, lots of fresh veggies of all colors.

prednisolone interacting with contraceptives..? Is this a thing?
I’ve never experienced problems like this until being on
prednisone
. So I feel this has to be the driving factor behind it.

out of date Pred
For 2 weeks I have been taking 1 mg
prednisone
which was out of date in March ‘23. Would it have been effective as I seem to have some returning symptoms of GCA?

Painful tendons and prednisone
Three nights ago I started doubling up on
prednisone
. Instead of taking my usual 5 mg dose. I started taking 10 mg morning and night and the pain in my arm is gone.

Biotin interference with Thyroid bloodwork
I had tapered down to 2.5 mg of
Prednisone
for my PMR last testing. I am 81 so I'm sure things are changing because of age also and now I'm down to 2 mg of Pred.

Patient refuses abiraterone
From a very concerned daughter: My father was prescribed ADT, abiraterone, and
prednisone
. He started ADT earlier before the other two were added to the regimen, about one month ago.

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?
