My brother has advanced Prostate Cancer
After some genetic tests and so many scans, his M.O. decided to start Abiraterone and
Prednisone
for him 2 month ago. After 1 month his PSA increased but M.O. told him we should wait at least 3 months to make sure. Now 2 months passed and his PSA increased again from 39 to 46.

At zero prednisone, almost a week
Feel a little stiff and sore in the am, but no obvious need for
prednisone
. I also cut back methotrexate from 6 pills 12mg to 5 pills weekly. Will see Rheumy second week of November. I would like to cut the meth out some more. If I don't need it, I don't want to take it.

What comes after, what comes next?
Zytiga has given my dad an extra pep in his step (I think because of the
prednisone
.) However, I can see the cancer starting to come back. The urinary incontinence issues are slowly creeping back, he has had some back pain, and shoulder pain where there are significant mets.

Use of CDB 10 mg pills
I am currently on 12 mg
prednisone
and 20 mg methotrexate a week for PsA and maybe PMR. I have heard that taking CDB can help with relaxing, sleeping and general feeling down due to the way this illness makes you feel. Is this safe?

Advice please
My CRP was 139 and I was started on 3gms on
prednisone
, 1gm a day over three days intravenously then 60mg daily reducing over a year. Repeat that in 2018 then Covid hit in 2020 and I was still on an high dosage and I got lost in the system.

Routine is a good thing?
Each day I wake up and without thinking, reach to my nightstand and take four Zytiga, a 5 mg
prednisone
and my blood pressure medicine. Today was a day like every other day except that I do not consciously remember taking my medicine.” Oh Man!! . The dog just farted.

COVID vaccine side effects
I have been on 11 1/2 mg of
Prednisone
and have been holding my own. Last Thursday I had my 7 th Moderna COVID booster. Since then I have been in terrible pain all over my body. When I take a Tylenol it does help ( which is not usually the case for me, normally).

How I reinvented myself after PMR diagnosis
Prior to diagnosis and starting on
prednisone
I still worked but was constantly at a high level of pain and exhaustion throughout the day at work, losing over 40 pounds of weight because of pain.

Bunion operation
I'm currently on 3.75mg
prednisone
. Should I follow sick day rules, maybe increase to 5mg, or first discuss with surgeon and anaesthetist? Thank for this very helpful forum.

Stopping abiraterone
I know that I have the taper off the
prednisone
slowly, but I do have LupronMemory and I don't recall what it felt like, not taking Abiraterone. Can anyone relate their experience in stopping this drug? I will remain on Lupron.

Sleep Cycles on Prednisone
I am on 40 mg
prednisone
for CGA. My sleep has not improved from the lower dosage. When I get sleepy, I lie down and sleep for 2 hours. Wake up very alert and 4 hours later am sleepy again. I lie down again for another 2 hours and the same cycle goes on all day and night.

My PMR is basically gone, but now I got shingles on my right side of face.
No
prednisone
anymore, but Methotrexate lowers immune response. About 4 days ago, got shingles on my face and forehead. It is super pain, bad pain. Before the shingles, I felt like my eyes were infected, eyes and skin all red and sore. Pain not quite as bad as the PMR at it's worst was.
