is this PMR
morning, I have now finished my 2 year Prednisolone taper for GCA. I was under Chetan Mukthyr. However much pain & stiffness I was in he always ruled out PMR as I did not have every single symptom, my tapering was never altered in the 2 years. Every day now I wake up to stiffness in fingers, buttocks

Palpitations with tapering
I wonder if it is usual to have palpitations when reducing Prednisolone. I have successfully managed to get down to 5 mgms (last 7 weeks), albeit with the ‘dreaded fatique’. Sometimes on very little exertion or at times of stress I feel my heart will burst out of my chest! It eventually settles with

Prednisolone
5-6 Months of Louder Tinnitus & I managed to get my doctors to let me try Prednisolone for 8-9 days, but, it was a low dose of 15mg a day. A few days in, I could feel my hearing sharpness had increased & some ear fullness had gone & it feels less inflamed. My tinnitus did seem to slightly flutter about

Newly Diagnosed and Frightened
Oh Crumbs, I seem to have written my whole introduction as part of my profile. So my main concern at the moment is how do other people cope with the side effects of high dose (50mg) Prednisolone. Is it common to feels so unwell and to shake so much that I can't write and keep mis-hitting keys on my mobile

Is it normal or a flare??
My question is if it is normal and acceptable to have some discomfort even while taking
Prednisone
, or if it is a reaction to reducing it or if this is considered a flare? Thanks!

I was wondering when the hand surgeon October 4th appointment, if he will do the tendon operation. and If that will relieve that neuropathy feeling or if the
prednisone
has caused the neuropathy, see I am an insulin dependent diabetic.

Remission
it is now well over 2 years since last I posted and I’m feeling a bit guilty about not being in touch. My symptoms finally disappeared over 2 years ago but I continue to take 1mg prednisolone per day. It’s my insurance policy! 😊. I have a question: having been on pred from 2018 - 2022 what’s the verdict

PMR symptoms and Steroid sensitivity and withdrawal
I updated my profile a couple of weeks ago as I am feeling that the PMR recovery plan is not working. I had about 10 days at the beginning of my 15 mg start on prednisolone of feeling that the pain was controlled. After that I experienced a low level of the previous discomfort. I was not advised about
