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

Prednisolone and blood thinners
As well as having PMR I also have Atrial Fibrillation. I am currently on 6mg of prednisolone.My GP is reluctant to prescribe a DOAC blood thinner for the Afib, because he says there is a risk of gastric bleeding.I am friendly with two retired GP's who are both of the opinion that this shouldn't be an

Prednisolone/palpitations
I'm currently taking 30mg a day of Pred for a chest infection. The palpitations started yesterday after my first dose.Has anyone experienced palpitations with this dosage? Not sure whether to skip tomorrow's dose and try to speak to a doctor on Monday. Thanks for reading.

steroids and knee replacement
my brother has pmr and is currently on 5 mg Prednisolone. He needs 2 knee replacements but doc says he can’t have the op because he is on steroids. Has anyone else experienced this?

is a return of arm shoulder pain on one side unusual.
The initial euphoria after three days of 15mgm prednisolone when the pain in both upper arms and thighs was relieved, I have found over the last week or so that the pain has gradually returned in my upper left arm. As a newbie I’m not sure if this one sided response is normal. It is the same pain as

Nasty bugs/flu after prednisolone?
Hi everyone I did another cycle in January and they had me on 20mg of prednisolone... Just wondered if it's common to get a nasty bug/infection afterwards which you can't get rid of? I've had stomach flu for over a week and it's awful (passed to me from my son's nursery - he had it first)... I asked

Alendronic Acid and Methotrexate
I've had PMR for about two years. All symptoms vanished completely as soon as I was put on Prednisolone (15mg per day), but I had a bad experience with trying to reduce, as advised by both GPs and my rheumatologist, by large cliff-edge steps--from 15mg to 12.5mg, then 10mg, all in a very few weeks.

Help with timing of split Prednisolone dose
Hi, I have found this site amazingly helpful, thank you. I have a specific enquiry regarding the best time to take my split dose. When my rheumy advised splitting as I was getting pain from 3-4 am till about 10am on a single dose, he didn’t specify a time and I just assumed I should space them evenly

Further update on breast/nipple pain! And tapering!
Hello everyone. So much relieved that following mammogram - no abnormalities found apart from dense breast tissue - which is unsurprising following historic mammoplasty. I still have the discomfort near my right nipple - maybe a little less - which the examining Dr could not explain. But interestingly

Doxycycline
Hi, my doctor has just prescribed Prednisolone and Doxycycline for a COPD flare-up. Are both these OK as regards my RLS.

Lifetime
Wonder if there are any on here who believe they will spend a lifetime on Prednisolone. Been on it for 16 years and am now on 2mg;1mg on alternate days. Never seems to alter each tome I see my GP or Rheumy. Just wonder if I should accept it.

I’m still here!
I started out on 20 mg
prednisone
. For the last year or so I have been down to 1 mg. My rheumatologist doesn’t seem concerned about that. I have since been diagnosed with herniated disc and degenerative disc. I am currently taking my 1 mg of
prednisone
, duloxetine, and 650 mg Tylenol.
