Tetanus booster while on prednisone?
Has anyone had the tetanus booster (I'm due for a 10-year one) while on
prednisone
? Am I correct in understanding that we should not have "live" vaccines? And I can't find any information that mentions if it's live or not. Thank you so much for any insights!

Perineum Irritation / Pain
I’m doing Lupron shots every 3months + Abiraterone with
Prednisone
daily, will start radiation in a couple weeks. I was tested on day 8 and my PSA had already fallen from 8.7 to 2.78. I had been feeling very good with virtually no side effects.

Stopping abiraterone
I know that I have the taper off the
prednisone
slowly, but I do have LupronMemory and I don't recall what it felt like, not taking Abiraterone. Can anyone relate their experience in stopping this drug? I will remain on Lupron.

History of Hypothyroidism on Maternal Side (Gma, mom, aunt, sister). HELP! Should I get tested?
I was put on a
Prednisone
taper starting at 60mg. Throughout the time between 2006 and 2024, I have regular flare ups. I’ve torn two rotator cuffs, awoken to swollen hands or feet that cannot move (imaging shows calcium deposits).

skin lesions that are not typical bruising from prednisone
My GP said it is vasculitis and immediately put me on what we hope is a short course of 40 mg
prednisone
… very disappointing as I had got down to 5mg. This has been Thanksgiving weekend in the US so cant get in touch with my rheumatologist.

Sleep Cycles on Prednisone
I am on 40 mg
prednisone
for CGA. My sleep has not improved from the lower dosage. When I get sleepy, I lie down and sleep for 2 hours. Wake up very alert and 4 hours later am sleepy again. I lie down again for another 2 hours and the same cycle goes on all day and night.

By how should I increase my prednisone?
Hi All,I have had PMR since 2011 when diagnosed. I had got down to 5mg of pred and was on this dosage for many years until I had a massive flare at the beginning of 2023 and I increased my dosage, then gradually came down to 8 and 3/4mg. I am a 72 year old fit male. I have been going to my physiotherapist

Use of CDB 10 mg pills
I am currently on 12 mg
prednisone
and 20 mg methotrexate a week for PsA and maybe PMR. I have heard that taking CDB can help with relaxing, sleeping and general feeling down due to the way this illness makes you feel. Is this safe?

I did one week of
prednisone
and it was miraculous. But can’t stay on it. Once off pain came right back. It’s a struggle. I try to think about friends with pancreatic cancer or Parkinson’s. Still no one gets it when you says pudendal neuralgia including most doctors. Hang in friends.

Update Castrate Resistant Metastatic Cancer
On November 10 I started Abiraterone +
prednisone
. By December 1 my PSA dropped to 0.44 in 22 days on Abiraterone. In the next 35 days it went down to 0.34 today. That is the drop has slowed down somewhat, in the first 22 days a drop by about 50% in the next 35 days a drop by about 25%.

Enhertu side effect: pneumonitis (lung inflammation)
Unfortunately this means I have to abandon Enhertu and wait to start any new chemo until the lungs are stabilized through a course of high-dose steroids (60 mg
Prednisone
/day) that will gradually taper off over several weeks.

pain beneath right shoulder
I thought at first that it was the start of a flare of PMR so upped my
prednisone
by 5mg (I’m currently on 4.5mg) for 5 days however this made no difference so I’ve gone back to 4.5mg. Any thoughts greatfully received. Thank you xx

How long do you wait to up prednisone with GCA pain
I upped my
prednisone
from 12 to 15 this morning but the pain in my temple area is getting worse. I just upped it again by 5 mg so I am at 20 now. Should I up it more or just give this amount time to work? I have been having a terrible time with the flares.

painful thighs and buttocks
Tapered off
prednisone
too fast (now I know) in 14 months; and it came back one month later after my second COVID (Moderna) vaccine. Just shoulders and arms, but made them very painful and useless.
