Should I sell and retire with PSA at 0.1 following 9 months undetectable?
Triplet therapy with ongoing goserelin and abiraterone with
prednisone
. Abiraterone is once per day with a low fat meal. Following nine months of undetectable PSA results, I recently received the news that my PSA is no longer undetectable and is now at 0.1.

New, A Bit Scared, Would Appreciate Advice.
I was put on
prednisone
for two weeks. It worked very quickly. However the Echo revealed mild leaky Mitral valve, Tricuspid valve and trace Aortic valve, probably related to my EDS.

Methotrexate or Prednisone which is more damaging?(also update on eyes)
She mentioned that I may want to try Methotrexate to lower
prednisone
. I have to admit that I'm scared to try another drug. I feel like
prednisone
is the devil I know and Metho is the devil I don't know.

Need help
Prednisone
and tapered off after a couple of years. Had another bout but finally completely off
prednisone
by Sept. 2022. I've had a few of the odd reminders like having a problem getting up from the sofa and being exhausted but nothing that bad. But now it seems my legs won't work right.

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

Stiff and painful neck, a flare?
I’m on 9 mg
prednisone
. I’ve been trying to sort out causes for pain before I try increasing
prednisone
, but it’s a slow process what with waiting for appointments and tests to rule things out. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Flare Strategy?
I am scheduled for a molar extraction in three weeks and if possible would like to keep my
prednisone
at a steady state of 5mg, which has controlled the pain well until this latest episode. Any suggestions for how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.

Neuroendocrine Prostate cancer (NEPC) questions.
I’m not taking Zytiga or extandi or
prednisone
. I’m just taking orgovyx and nubeqa. Another medical article I read last night said that most of the people they get diagnosed with neural endocrine prostate cancer have a PSA below for when diagnosed. Mine is currently below four.

Pain a week after starting taper
It's easy to have the illusion one is getting better when in fact it's the
prednisone
working.

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.

To take or not to take daily dose of Prednisone before or after blood work (ESR and CRP), that is the question!
I'm going for blood work tomorrow morning, to check inflammatory markers, though not blood sugars as they have always been normal, so I can have breakfast beforehand. I usually take my Pred with breakfast (3.5 mg). Should I take my Pred as usual with breakfast before the tests or wait until afterwards

A flare or something else
I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2023, and was put on 20 mg
prednisone
. I've tapered down to 7.5 mg now. A week ago, I snagged my right little toe on a chair leg. The toe turned purple and hurt a lot. Over a couple days, the bruising spread across the top of my foot.
