Newly diagnosed with PMR and thank you for all the info here
Even though it is awful to have a disease (this is my first experience with having a chronic disease) and be staring down a long road of
prednisone
, at least I can feel I’m on the right path.

odd question
Does any one think there is a connection between PMR and
Prednisone
to cause this most annoying issue?

Side effects of methotrexate?
I've been taking
prednisone
for PMR for a year--had no clinical signs of GCA, but have had persistent very high CRP levels for several months. Finally my rheumatologist sent me to a specialist a month ago for an ultrasound of my arteries and he confirmed unequivocally that I had GCA.

breathlessness??
I went off
prednisone
and within two days PMR hit with a vengeance. I say PMR rheumatologist says it’s not PMR as I have no elevated inflammatory markers in blood tests. But I was in agony everywhere until I was finally given
prednisone
.

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?

Do I have PMR?
I was given a
prednisone
dose of 30 mg for the first day, decreasing by 5 mg a day for a week. By bedtime that night, my pain was gone. As the dose was reduced by 5 mg a day, my pain came back.

1.5 mgs now blood tests all over the place
I have been at 1.5 mg
prednisone
for 2 weeks and had my quarterly bloodwork done. Ana is now positive. It was negative last quarter. I am positive for Sjogrens but I don't have any symptoms. Is this because of my lower dosage?

pectoralis major discomfort ??
Doctor diagnosed and
prednisone
almost immediately stopped all pain. That was in May 2023 . Titrated down to 4, had a flare , went back up and now back down to 5. All that time there was no upper chest discomfort. I am now noticing this again. It’s not painful but I am aware of it.

Update on skin lesions
He increased my
prednisone
to 40 mg for four days and the lesions healed leaving behind some patches of purporae. Once I reduced the
prednisone
new patches of lesions developed on my face and neck (intensely irritating).

PMR after GCA
I’ve been diagnosed with PMR after being off
Prednisone
for one year. I started on 15mg of Pred but symptoms not covered. My GP advised to go up to 20mg but two days and I am in pain. Not sure how long it takes to kick in or should I be thinking of increasing the dose.

Prednisone Tapering Challenge
This is the third try for me at tapering off of
Prednisone
. I started @ 15mg for PMR. The first few times, I'm sure I rushed trying to get to zero. Even got to zero mg the second time and had to jump back to 5 to get some relief.

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.

Dentistry.
I presently take 10mgm
Prednisone
daily in one dose. I need several dental extractions on the same side (upper jaw). Should I expect my dentist to refer me to hospital -I have been told in the past that it will need specialist care.

Do I have symptoms of PMR
Would I get symptoms for this when I’m on 20mg of
prednisone
