thoughts on tapering
I responded to 15 mg
prednisone
very quickly and have been following a typical monthly reduction of 1 mg. I have had no PMR pain although I seem to be having right shoulder pain which , I believe , is unrelated. The way I have been tapering is by reducing by 1/4 mg.

osteoporosis diagnosis
Hello I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in November 2018 and have been slowly tapering my
prednisone
from 60 mg to 4.5 mg currently. I was prescribed AA and vit D/K at the same time. As I have been on AA for 5 years I asked for a dexa scan so that hopefully I could have a holiday from AA.

Prednisone to Hydrocortisone
Have had had a rollercoaster of
prednisone
amounts. Around 3mg I start to get stiffness and fatigue. So she put me on Hydrocortisone. 10mg in am and 10mg in afternoon for a month. Month two 10mg in am and 5mg in pm. Then a cortisol blood test. I’ll hear from her.

residual symptoms of PMR
I was put on 15 mg of
Prednisone
and slowly tapered down through the year. It’s been about three months since I’ve been off it. My labs are normal for the inflammation markers. I still have minor aches and pains in my arms shoulders and hips.

Can you describe a flare?
I no longer have chronic pain since being prescribed
prednisone
but I do have some aching in my arms/shoulder and hands in the mornings especially, but it is tolerable and does not stop me from walking the dog etc but does it just mean it's worse than my current condition and the feelings I have now?

PMR since July 2018 and down to 1mg. Enter GCA
I was so well controlled on
prednisone
that my CRP wasn't out of the "normal range" when I had last been in ED with acute bacterial prostatitis and sepsis. They could check that because the records of previous ED visits are part of my record.

A Miracle
It was a 2 year and 9 month pain journey that started at 3am in the ER where he was given 50 mg of
Prednisone
. His body was stiff, he could barely walk, lift his arms or turn over in bed at this time. He was in so much pain.

Sleep History Question
I did not have insomnia until
Prednisone
induced it, but I often “burned the candle at both ends” so to speak, throughout my life. Besides a very unhealthy (abusive) 30-year marriage (now divorced, thank God!)

Failing ADT
Also- should I try switching from
Prednisone
to Dexamethasone ? I guess more radiation is an outside possibility but I think that train has already run as I am getting hip replacement surgery on Wednesday because the 2 previous times my hip was radiated caused necrosis (lack of blood flow).

Reduce or Not Reduce Prednisone
I have had a very difficult time over the past two years to get below 1.5 mg. Using the dead slow method for the past year i have been able to drop from 3mg to 1.5mg. While still feeling very fatigued, I'm experiencing my leg muscles while sleeping, wanting to develop into a full blown cramp, but not

Constipation
I am on 40 mg or
prednisone
for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the
prednisone
or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days.

Tetanus booster while on prednisone?
Has anyone had the tetanus booster (I'm due for a 10-year one) while on
prednisone
? Am I correct in understanding that we should not have "live" vaccines? And I can't find any information that mentions if it's live or not. Thank you so much for any insights!

Getting Ready to Start Abiraterone
My drug insert also says if I only take
prednisone
once daily to take it in the morning. Thanks in advance.
