What exclusionary tests should I ask my doctor for? IL-6 inflammation tests? + other random PMR questions
But myeloma does come kind of close, and apparently
prednisone
is used to help treat myeloma (though maybe wouldn't have had the dramatic success it's had for me?).

Slight PSA rise and MO discontinuing ADT due to fatigue
MO recommended cancelling today's Lupron shot and weaning off the Zytiga /
prednisone
as he has lost muscle mass on ADT and had some balance issues including a fall a few months back.

Strange bunch of chronic conditions?
One of the meds I cut down on was
prednisone
for hemolytic anemia (with my lupus doctor's permission), but now what? Anybody else have experience with
prednisone
, anemia, CKD and afib? I realize this is a weird combination of non-fatal conditions. (Also hypothroid).

Losing weight not trying
Did my first week of methotrexate and daily
prednisone
and gabapentin. I am down 8 lbs without trying to lose any weight. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Why did my Rheumatologist Up my Prednisone?
Long story short, I have been tapering
prednisone
since and was down from 60 to 12.5 mg using a tapering schedule given to me by my general practitioner. Finally got accepted by a Rheumatologist through referral and saw her yesterday.

Seizures
I am being treated like I have vasculitis and am on high doses of
prednisone
. Could that alter bloodwork? How do I find out more about seizures and management? They suspended my license until I see a neurologist. I saw one in Mexico in February but have yet to see one in Canada.

New to this
Daily
prednisone
and weekly methotrexate along with gabapentine. I pray I can learn to accept this new reality.

Prednisone reduction
I am reducing by 1 mg a week
prednisone
and got from 17 down to 12 and feeling OK. Is this because I definitely do not have PMR or because I'm taking methotrexate? will my adrenals start working if I get off
prednisone
and stay on methotrexate

Starting trial of prednisone I'm so sick
The doctor agreed to give me a trial of
prednisone
. I am concerned of the amount. 60mg for 3 days 40mg for 3 days 20mg for 3 days I pray I am doing the right thing. I am so sick right now and this sure seems like a lot. I am very sensitive to medications, so just a little concerned.

Imuran Side Effects
Still titrating down on
prednisone
. Skipped Imuran a couple days and the nausea, fever/chills, back pain, abdomen pain, distension, etc stopped. Tried again and back. Called specialist, no information as to whether this is temporary , just simply told to stay on it.

Advice please with cold and PMR
Should I increase my
prednisone
until this passes as not sure if the aching is from PMR or having this cold? My body feels so tired and not my normal reaction to something such as a cold! Thank you

Optic nerve narrowing
Currently on 15mg
prednisone
. Stopped Actemra 2 months ago. My eyesight in my left eye has been changing rapidly over the past several months. It's gotten really blurry. I've never needed glasses for distance, but now it's hard to drive at night or see the TV very well.

Prednisone Tapering
I have been tapering using the DS method for 6 months. I am now tapering from 2mg to 1 1/2. In two days I will be @ 1 1/2 for seven days, then 1, back to 1 1/2 for 6 days and so on. While I am not in any muscle pain I am extremely fatigued. Does being extremely fatigued means I am having a flare
