How long after reducing steriods does moon face go away?
Hey all, I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis after an 8 year long battle with chronic health. I was then put on 40mg of prednisolone and it took a long time for them to reduce and after two months I started to have moon face and a more rounded stomach. I am now starting 5mg from tomorrow and

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 (

weight gain after stopping prednisone?
I’m keen to stay off
prednisone
as the emotional roller coaster makes day to day life difficult. How long will these symptoms last? Has anyone heard of weight gain after
prednisone
?

Relapse vs flare
Two years ago I reached remission with rituximab
prednisone
and now on azathioprine. I've been feeling not quite right for a little and have bloods done every 4 weeks to keep an eye on me.

Prednisone - Halfing the pills
Someone posted earlier how they halved the
prednisone
and took them twice daily. Recommendations on the best time to take the two halved
prednisone
pills. We are trying this as an experiment to see if it makes any difference. Thanks all!!!

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

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

Back again
I had only been off of
Prednisone
for 8 months. My inflammation markers are rising even though I went back on 40 mg
Prednisone
. Next week I will start Actemra. Just curious, did anyone else have a re-occurrence of GCA and PMR? How did it go? Thanks for your feedback.

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

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

Hormonal therapy and Meningioma brain tomors
Since meningiomas are hormonal sensitive I wonder if the years on Lupron and Zytiga with
prednisone
could of caused me to get this tumor. Are there others out there that have been diagnosed with a meningioma while on or after hormonal therapy?

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

Statins and prednisolone
I have been on prednisolone for nearly two years, starting on 15 mg, now down to 6mg. Previously tapering at 0.5 mg every 6 weeks, more recently tapering at 0.5 mg at 8 week intervals. Now wondering whether to extend that interval further, after having had a bad flare. Following a recent diagnosis
