Do exacerbations follow exacerbations?
I've now been to doctor and on 5 days of
prednisone
and a week of antibiotics. Before my time in hospital, I'd never even been on an inhaler! I'm now worried that every time I get a cold it's going to become an emergency...

What to do for the stiffness.
I have tapered to 2 mg of
Prednisone
daily. Labs are all good. The stiffness is not going away. Mornings are pretty bad, as well as during the night. If I sit still for more than 30 minutes I am so stiff I can not walk normally. Most of the stiffness is in my hips, thighs, and shoulders.

Drugs make it worse?
The main problem is probably
prednisone
which I take for lupus, and which is pretty much like taking cortisol. I'm not sure what to do about it because I have auto-immune hemolytic anemia, which also makes me tired. I realize this is the wrong forum to ask about
prednisone
.

I have been dealing with PMR since last July and have being on
Prednisone
since then. I started at 15 milligrams, I am down to 5 but I am having a hard time lowering the dose. I have tried Methotrexate with no luck. I am not on it anymore.

My son’s PSA rose a bit today.
His Mayo doctor told him to continue to test every three months, stay on current meds Lupron, Abiraterone/
prednisone
for another year and two months then stop meds and wait and see with lifetime testing. He had an RP last October 24 2022 for what we thought was contained prostate cancer .

Acid reflux
I read that
prednisone
can cause this, causes the esophagus to not contract enough. I tried Pepcid but it's not helping.

Humidity and PMR
I have upped my
prednisone
from 4 mg which it has been for months to eventually 10 mg. It is not holding it. I also have chromic back pain, but it is not a rheumatic pain and MS, so sorting things out is difficult. Has anyone had problems with prolonged humidity. We are in Canada.

Weaning off of Zytiga and prednisone
I've been on one capsule (250mg) every other day with 5mg
Prednisone
everyday. How to wean off these drugs together?

Recent carpal tunnel, trochanter bursitis, and maybe shoulder bursitis
I've had PMR/GCA for 5 years, and I'm currently at 3 mg
prednisone
. I haven't had any PMR/GCA symptoms for over a year (one PMR flare in 2022 and one GCA flare in 2020).

update on my wrist pain.
I'm now at 2mg.
prednisone
. (up from .75....ah, I was so hopeful a year ago) and over the last 3 months have been waking up with terrible pain in hand and thumb and wrist. Primary doc sent me for an EMG which showed moderately severe (whatever that means) carpal tunnel.

does poor adrenal function until they work again increase CRP results?
As in your dropping the
prednisone
under 10 and down lower and lower? I just dropped today from 7.5 to 5, and don't yet feel any different.

Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off
prednisone
but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare.

How early should I take pred in the morning?
Should I take my
prednisone
earlier? To clarify, I'm down to 7.5 mg (8 and 7 on alternating days) and I want to wake up my adrenals as best as I can. Will it help this process if I take the pred at 5 am instead of waiting until 7 am?
