Flare confirmed with PET scan
When I go with the new prescription should I ask for
prednisone
or prednisolone? I thought prednisolone might be better for my liver but is there any difference in the strength or problems with withdrawal between the two?

Stop taking lansoprazole
I'm now down to 2.5mg prednisolone. My latest prescription delivered coated tablets which I've been taking without issues. My question is do I need to continue with the lansoprazole I was prescribed at the beginning of the PMR journey or can I just stop taking it now I'm down to such a low dose and (

Update - prednisone taper and Covid Booster
In the past few weeks, while finishing my DSNS taper from 5 to 4.5 mg, I've noticed some of the original PMR symptoms I had - painful neck and a pulsing in my head to the beat of my heart. When I went to a GP within a week of getting these symptoms back in January 2021, they ruled out having a tumour

feel awful
just over 2 weeks ago went diwn to 2 mg prednisolone from 50 in august 2022. Nothing seems to be going right now. After many many years of 75 mg thyroxine daily for under active thyroid was told to cut down to 50 mg daily. Also became diabetic with Pred. & have been taking 2 500 mg metformin daily

Understanding the source of my pain.
But could it be temporary
prednisone
myalgia that just took nine days to subside? I'm confused about what "
prednisone
mylagia" even is. Is the same thing as temporary
prednisone
withdrawal? Or are those two separate things?

Tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus 24/7 for past 14 months or so, random vertigo. Headaches left temple and to rear of ear like the lower skull area

Finally finished prednisolone.
Hi all, after just over 7.5 years I've finally managed to stop pred. It's been a very long and slow reduction with the inevitable hiccups along the way. I ended up on 0.5mg every 2 days and finished last week, with no ill effects that I'm aware of. The last PMR symptoms I had were in 2020. What I'd like

Moving to MTX after 9 years of prednisolone?
I would appreciate the expertise of the forum on my situation. I was diagnosed with PMR 9 years ago and have been on prednisolone since then. With a few flares, I’ve never been able to taper to below 4mg, usually taking between 5 - 7.5mg. The last year has been very stressful (bereavements, sepsis

I've been on prednisolone for 10 years. Can't get off it. Even with nucala injections every 4 weeks. I had churg Strauss syndrome. And still on 11 drugs to get by. Every day. Including heart drugs. But still can't get PIP. Even though I would probably die before someone with a bit of arthritis who

Criteria to treat CLL
Good morning, My Haematologist has again recommended I start treatment for CLL. Yet, I know that I've read on here that there are set criteria for doing so. His reasoning is that the treatment has a immune suppressive effect. I'm on 4mg prednisolone and the aim is to taper to nothing. I'm on the steroids

3 Year Anniversary!
My rheumatologist suggested it to get off the
prednisone
. I am down to 1.5 mg per day. Going oh so slowly but not slowly enough for Rheumy! Always so appreciative of the advice and support of this forum.

Has anyone had to stop actemra?
Anyways I’m back up to 10mg of
prednisone
and not going back on Actemra because of diverticulitis. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar situation of having to abruptly stop Actemra and how did it go?

Prednisolone without food
Have always taken my Prednisolone at breakfast with porridge or Greek yoghurt . Refuse to take a PPI. Am due for surgery in a few weeks time and not to eat after midnight. Am only on 4.5 mg Pred at present. Will it hurt this once to take it with no food? I cant see a way around it.

Prednisolone 2.5mg Gastro-resistant tablets
Just picked up my prescription for my pred and for the first time in six years my GP has prescribed Prednisolone Gastro-resistant 2.5mg tablets instead of my normal Prednisolone 2.5mg. I presume these are the coated ones I have heard people mention in the past, but as I already take Lansoprazole 15mg

update on symptoms after holiday
it’s now been 8 days since return from holiday. I’m marginally better but after a shower and breakfast feel fatigued and not well. I did go out for coffee today with husband for an hour and now have aches in arms and legs . I have neck pain / stiffness at times. Had a nap. I’m still on 15 mg prednisolone

GCA morphing into PMR?
Hello dear friends: I’ve been on the GCA journey almost 3 years now and I am down to 1 mg
prednisone
. I’ve been under terrible stress especially the past week but continuing for a couple months. And suddenly now and I am almost off of
prednisone
for GCA, I have fear that PMR is kicking in.

Pain behind ear
Last night I started getting an intermittent shooting pain behind my right ear. It’s continued throughout today. I had a GCA diagnosis over 5 years ago along with PMR but am now down to 0.5mg. I know it’s not a normal GCA pain but I’m just a little concerned as I’ve no idea what it is. I’ve just taken
