Tooth extraction and Prednisolone
First, thank you for all the fantastic help and advice...now my question. 9 months post diagnosis and (mainly) tapering well from 15mg to 9mg.In a day or so, I need to have a tooth removed. 63 and with "my generation" teeth. The dentist has advised to double dose on the day of the procedure. That seems

Struggling with Mycophenolate
Hi all, do any of you take Nintedanib with Prednisolone? My consultant has been trying to get me onto Mycophenolate before starting me on Nintedanib , as it is steroid sparing,but I hate feeling the way I do on this drug. Constant nausea, low mood ( I don’t feel like me at all) disrupted sleep and low

Mycophenolate instead of Perfinedine or Nintenanib?
Hi everyone I became breathless suddenly in August 2023. This was initially dismissed by my GP even though O2 was 90% as my chest was clear and I had no cough. A fortnight later I was able to get an appointment with a different GP who sent me for a chest X ray which showed I had pulmonary fibrosis.

How I reinvented myself after PMR diagnosis
For me, this might be better titled, how I've muddled through. The reinventing is a work in progress and likely to be for the foreseeable future and I realise as I have been writing this, that the reinvention perhaps began a very long time before I was given any kind of a diagnosis. I'd had undiagnosed

Bursitis - more questions
Having been an avid reader of this amazing forum for the last 18 months, I am convinced that a lot of the pain I was suffering before starting on Prednisolone was due to bursitis. I had 13 months of symptoms which included, I’m now sure, bursitis in my hips, shoulders and knees. I started on 15 mg

Has the recommended delivery of Prednisolone for asthma changed over the last 10 years?
Recently suffered a severe exacerbation of asthma with a chest infection. The last time was in 2011 with swine flu. This time the doctor wanted me on 25mg/day of prednisolone for 5 days and then to stop. I requested a lower dose and I went on 10 mg/day. After five days I had improved but when I went

Update: Arrived at 4.5 mg & staying for awhile!
I started taking 40 mg of
Prednisone
in late May 2021, so I've been taking
Prednisone
for 23 months so far. I started having symptoms in early January 2021. I feel lucky to be at this stage after 2 years, although, like many on here, I was told by a GP that it would go into remission in one year!

Side effects
I do 5 mg of
prednisone
1000 mg of abiraterone and Lupron every 4 months.
Prednisone
has been very tough on me, I've gained 29 pounds weight in two months, the muscle cramps and feet twitching are unbearable. My PSA has come down from 24 in January to 0.84 last Monday.

Giving up work before retirement.
I have been asked to share my story to a new post as it might be useful for other people in this situation to read. I had to give up my business in 2016 because of my health. I was only 54 at the time. I had been struggling for a while and was on 30mg of Prednisolone at the time along with a cocktail

F4: cirrhosis
I was first told that I had Autoimmune Hepatitis after my Fibro scan results and that I needed to start treatment with Imuran and
prednisone
. GI dr said that if treatment didn't work I would be put on a liver transplant list. She then said. "I'm sorry".

Staying on prednisolone
Hi All, Would just like to know if being on a low dose of prednisolone forever is something that anyone out there is doing? I was on pred for 9 years and was slowly weaned off it, finishing in July 2023. To be honest I have had so much muscle and joint pain since coming off pred it would be a relief

Broncholidator Reversibility Test
Hi, I posted a few days ago about my team wanting to do a broncholidator reversibility test and FeNO before they put me forward for biologics. I wasn't going to do the test, then decided to do it, incase it did show reversibility to save time waiting for a referral to Wynthenshawe as my current hospital

Advice required
Hello, This is my first post but i have been an avid reader every day and have learned so much. I was diagnosed having PMR in September 2023 by my GP who recommended I take 15 mg of Prednisolone daily to see if his diagnosis was correct. To my surprise and amazement, I became pain free which was a miracle
