Norovirus - does having PMR increase my risk?
I am currently on 5.5 mg prednisolone. The Care Home where I work part time has an outbreak of Norovirus with a lot of the residents and staff being infected, am I more at risk because of my PMR and steroid dependency?

I also take 15mg Bisoprol, 2.5mg Indapamide and 40 mg Olmesartan together with 60mg Edoxaban in the morning and 8mg Doxazosin at night. A week ago he changed my Lercandipine dosage to 20mg and to take it in the evening

Question re side effects of Prednisone at different levels
I'm tapering slowly and at 14mg
Prednisone
now. A couple days ago I received blood work results which showed a marked increase of A1C, LDLs and Glucose. I'm a careful eater and I exercise. Therefore I believe this is the fault of the Pred.

Covid/PMR Questions
My doctor had warned me that because of the
prednisone
, I needed to contact her if I had exposure to or showed symptoms of Covid or any other bug. My recollection is that she said if I got sick, she would increase my dose of
prednisone
since my own immune system was suppressed by the
prednisone
.

Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can

Figuring things out - first year since diagnosis
Hi, I'm posting here as I don't know anyone in real life with lupus and have been struggling to work out what my expectations should be in terms of symptoms. I was diagnosed just over a year ago following about a year of strange symptoms - GI issues, weight loss, Raynaud's, mouth ulcers, hand and wrist

Is it absolutely necessary to take omeprazole before Prednisolone?
I am on my second round of Prednisolone and have been told by the doctor that I must take omeprazole as well even though I’ve got osteoporosis. I have always taken it an hour before breakfast then Pred with my breakfast but wondered how long before can I take omeprazole. For instance will it still work
