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

EBRT - Is it the right thing and what to expect?
After DX in November 2018 with Stage IV and Gleason of 5+4 and 4+5, and 5 years of ADT of Lupron (then Orgovyx),
prednisone
5mg, and Zytiga 250mg with low fat breakfast, my PSA stayed stable at 0.4 or 0.5. At end of 2013, PSA started rising to latest value of 0.84.

Sciatic Nerve and Prednisone
I'm posting for my 89 year old sister who has been on 10mg of
Prednisone
for at least 3 years for back pain. She is suffering now from sciatic pain which is causing her not to be able to sleep because of the pain.

Christmas Covid
I’m not sure what to do meds wise as I took my 15mg of MTX yesterday as normal and 5mg of
prednisone
this morning that I take daily. Can’t speak to any one and 111 is a waste of time

Abiraterone edema management
One of the fun things I am getting as an SE while on lupron/abiraterone/
prednisone
is fluid retention. Edema and getting up to pee 3-4 times nightly (losing 3-4 lbs of weight during the night.) What if anything can be done about this?

Taper Complete…
I have stopped taking
prednisone
after 18 months of use and slowly reducing the dose. It has been just 2 weeks, so I know my PMR misadventure will still be ongoing. I am very grateful for the support and insight that I have received via this online group. I have been doing okay in terms of pain.

No jaw issues during the night, and even now before taking the
prednisone
, it’s not difficult to chew. What to do? So grateful for this site and the great information from such experienced people. Thank you!

Withdrawal vs Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency
I haven't replied because my situation seems to be overcomplicated for many reasons, not the least of which I believe to be the absorption rate of
prednisone
.

Introduction and asking for help interpreting latest scan results and thoughts on future treatment plan please.
Current recommended treatment plan is Lupron shots, either Abiraterone acetate along with
Prednisone
or Enzalutamide. Also have a consultation with the radiation oncologist scheduled for next week. Thoughts and opinion on treatment plan very much appreciated?

New treatment plan GCA
Initially I was told that I would be on Actemra for one year with
Prednisone
and then Methotrexate. Yesterday, I was informed that there will be no Methotrexate and from month ten, I move to fortnightly Actemra injections to extend it out. I am curious to know if anyone has tried this method?

stopping Actemera
I am taking 8 1/2 mg of
prednisone
and have no pain anywhere, including my head. I am curious to see what some of you think about this. I have been free of body pain for over a year and even stand at my parting job for 7 hours without any problems. thank you

3rd Rheumy suggested this since I have such bad side effects from
prednisone
after 30 months. Anybody tried this $4300 stuff?

stop prednisone with flu vaccine?
I was told not to take my
prednisone
and antiviral to receive flu vaccine. Has anyone heard of that? That it would be less potent. When do we recommence ? Thank you!

Covid
I’m on 5 mg of
prednisone
and 15 mg methotrexate. Is there any advice about how to manage meds while having Covid. I feel very achy and it feels like I’m having a flare. Thanjs in advance for any advice.
