so confusing
Was treated with
prednisone
until the PMR burned itself little over a year later. Last June, 20 years later, my hands and wrists became a problem. No swelling but pain & stiffness in fingers and wrists. Carpal tunnel syndrome was the first dx.

SHOULD I GO UP
I started my 20mg of
prednisone
2days ago. I’m still quite achy. Although I can get by during the day. . Should I try going up a little or just be patient and see if I need a couple more days?

Not sure what's gone wrong??
I'm curious to know why I'm experiencing some rather unusual symptoms 22 months in with p.m.r.Recently I have tapered very slowly down to 1mg of
prednisone
, and for the last two weeks have difficulty falling asleep at night, waves of nausea during the day as well as episodes of dizziness several times

GCA and type 2 diabetes
Hi all Warriors Since being on
prednisone
(since July 2023 at 60mg, now at l6mg) my A1C has slowly crept up. Had blood work yesterday and A1C is now at 7.1. I have been told by my rheumy this is steroid induced and will start going down as I taper.

Levels moving in right direction with Imuran and
prednisone
titrating down 5mg weekly from 60mg. Frustrating though that I don’t know if my actions are directly positively or negatively affecting my symptoms or labs. Like with my daughter’s type 1 diabetes, we exhaustingly manage all day.

Lab Tests Indicate High Lipase
Has anyone taking
prednisone
and Actemra had a high lipase on their routine lab tests. I’m on 4 mg
prednisone
and bi-weekly injections of Actemra for GCA. I get lab tests every month, and the past several months Lipase is high (usually around 60-70).

Lupron Question.
September 2023 Abiraterone and 5mg of
prednisone
was added. Psa was 19 in Sept and dropped to 1.26 as of Jan. 11 2024. Since going on Abi when I get a monthly Lupron shot I have trouble sleeping that first night and mild flu like symptoms the next day.

Exhausted now that I’m down to 7mg
Well I’m finally down to 7 mg
Prednisone
and I’m feeling exhausted. Doing ok as far as pain is concerned but feel as if I’ve run 10 miles. Diagnosed with PMR in 2016 and have slowly reduced to get to this point.

Swollen painful hand
Was started on 40 mg of
prednisone
. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Flare?
This is going to be a longer haul on
prednisone
than I'd hoped.

Break from ADT or not?
Should my Dad continue with all 3 Lupron/Zytiga/
Prednisone

Question about muscle weakness
But if that is true, then why do I still have muscle weakness if the
prednisone
I am taking is effectively treating the inflammation?

Gum Sensitivity on Prednisone
I am on 40 mg of
prednisone
for GCA. Does
Prednisone
cause gum sensitivty and brittle nails? My gums now bleed easily. They never did before CGA. Always had strong nails. Not anymore? Any comments much appreciated\ Groda

Helpful you tube channel
prednisone
pharmacist is a you tube channel I found yesterday. She is on the medication herself. Thought I’d pass on the info as this community has helped me so much. She also sells supplements.. know nothing about that part

Return of PMR
When I tapered off of
prednisone
I used a super slow method which I don't remember. Can someone please tell me that method? Has anyone out there had it in their hands? Any different than the usual hips and shoulders? Thank you, Skip

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.

Flared once again at 7.5-disappointing.
I’ve been diligently working my way down to 7.5 of
prednisone
over the past 4 1/2 years. I’ve used the dead slow tapering schedule and at 10mg I was only going down by .5mg.
