Pred or PMR side effect: I can’t play Wordle anymore! And I don’t mind!
Before I started
prednisone
six weeks ago, I played Wordle, Quordle, and Octordle most nights. (If you are not familiar with these names, they refer to various online word games in which you have a limited number of tries to spell out a word, sort of like Hangman when we were kids).

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.

What does "burn itself out" mean?
Prednisone
counters this. My question is, If this means my adrenal glands are not functioning properly, how will this ever change as long as I am replacing their activity with
prednisone
? What does it mean that PMR will "burn itself out"?

shingles
I was diagnosed with PMR 3 years ago and after a fairly bumpy ride I have now been off
Prednisone
for two and a half months. I have been called for a Shingles vaccination. I reacted badly to the Covid jabs each time. I have had Shingles twice!

Diagnosis and Dose
Anyone else have a slow response to the
Prednisone
? Or is 18 days a normal time for the
Prednisone
to start working? Or should I have been put on a higher dose to begin with, in order to get immediate relief. When I read all the symptoms on here I’m almost positive PMR is what I have. Thank you.

Anemia
I started on 80 mg of
Prednisone
in October of 2020. I am now taking 11 1/2 mg . I was just diagnosed with anemia. The last time I was diagnosed with anemia was in 2020 when I got GCA. I did not have anemia since then. Can taking
Prednisone
for almost 3 years be a cause of anemia?

Legs thighs and calfs pain
Legs thighs and calfs started hurting after reducing
prednisone
from 20.0 to 17.5 mg 3 days ago. Should I stay at 17.5 mg and give it more time to see if the pain diminishes.

Update On Eclipse Trial-another failure. Has LU-177 worked for anyone?
We briefly added 250mg Zytiga + 5mg
prednisone
before starting Eclipse trial (LU-177 I&T) in June 2023. Beginning PSA was 3.3 and directly before fourth injection in August, PSA dropped to .25 Unfortunately, after fourth injection PSA was .30 and rising.

Down to 1.5mg prednisone now for about 5 days
IMO, it is bizarre, I had no finger or hand issues couple years ago, right before PMR I developed trigger finger but 3 months into
prednisone
use that stopped, but I am left with stiff middle fingers and cannot make a proper fist.

Kevzara and Prednisone Tapering before and during Kevzara
I recently stated with Kevzara and I am interested in those who are currently on
prednisone
and Kevzara. I would like to know… 1. What was your starting dosage of
prednisone
and how long have your been taking
prednisone
? 2. What was your daily dose of
prednisone
before Kevzara? 3.

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).
