Prednisolone came down to fast
Hi everyone, I tried unsuccessfully to taper down from 10mg to 8mg and like Dorsetlady said it was too big a drop. And she was right I tried saying that I will get over the severe aches and pains to no avail I had to go back to 10mg.Thank you for reading my small note. Peter

implant Surgery Tomorrow
The dental surgeon says to take 10 mg prednisolone in the morning before having the tooth extracted and implant put in. She knows I’m currently on 3-3.5 mg and has PMR long term. She says the extra is to help with the anxiety/stress and that as my body likely isn’t producing cortisol of its own this

flare or steroid myopathy?
He said he didn’t see any warning signs that prompted any referral elsewhere; his plan: up the
prednisone
higher, 3 mg wasn’t enough, he said, I need more. Second, do bloodwork as a rule out. Third, am I able to exercise, he asked? (No.

Prednisolone And Thinning Skin
Hi, I don’t post on here very often but I have a problem that I would like to share. I have been on Prednisolone for about eight years, since I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia; it caused my retirement at 64 years. I even posted a poem on here that I wrote, with the first line "Polly Myalgia, she

Hello! I was hoping to get some advice. I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with security and customs at airports, and if so was it easily resolved? Or what else have they asked for? Just want to be as prepared as possible. I'm off to Costa Rica in December flying from Gatwick airport with

stiffness with reduction plan
I started on 20 mg of prednisolone early July and had reduced to 12mg by mid September without any problems. I caught Covid and pain returned but only in my left hip so I increased to 15mg for a couple of weeks while the pain subsided. During October I’ve decreased to 13.5mg and have some mild stiffness

Steroids, statins, strange query
I was put on 80mg Atvostatin mid Aug following a TIA/Afib episode and diagnosis. From mid September I started to suffer an intermittent throbbing, burning pain on the ball of my foot and last three toes. It comes on suddenly such as during the short 1 mile walk I’ve just completed. Bloods in Sept showed

past my sell by date
yesterday I had an eye test and the optician asked if I was “still !” using eye drops in my very dry eyes. He said I should do so hourly. I wasn’t aware I was supposed to but apparently they are so dry they account for the regular migraines I’ve been experiencing. Then the usual questions regarding

I finally "quit" prednisone !
It only took 7 years. Here is approximate timeline... Dec 19,2015 Started at 15mg Jan 13,2016 started tapper to 12.5mg, after a week I split dose and took half at 1AM and the rest in the morning. Splitting dose worked wonders for me, and I was able to quickly start next taper Jan 28, 2016 Started

In so much pain and feeling poorly
Hi folks, Last Friday while squeazing the edge of the mattress into the corner of a fitted sheet I had an excruciating shooting pain across the middle of my back. After that I could barely do anything without serious pain. Ever since, I've been falling asleep all day, had nausea, bloating & painful

Lupron, Abiraterone and Prednisone...constant bruising
Treatment plan of Lupron, Abiraterone and
Prednisone
. I have been bruising very easily and often and gathering open cuts at the slightest provocation and seemingly sometimes spontaneously. I also take two Aleves per day for my arthritis. Is anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?

Adrenal insufficiency and dosage
I searched this site but didn't find this article. For me the top takeaway was "[i]Mean prednisolone dose the last 3 months and basal P-cortisol were the best and simplest predictors of adrenal function."[/i] This conclusion seems to support the DSNS protocol(which I am using with success so far--thank

possible flare or low cortisol
Hi, reduced my prednisolone about 2 weeks ago to 4.5mg from 5mg and have been okay until today. A couple of twinges here and there but manageable. Today I’m feeling awful, headache, pain in back, legs, feet and shoulders/neck. Absolutely exhausted and feeling tearful. Could this be a flare do you think

Bright Lights and Halos

He is on day five of taking 15mg Gastro costed Pred, and seeing an improvement in his symptoms. However yesterday he started to see massive halos around single point lights like street

it feels like I'll never get better
Hi! I've had constant air hunger every day since June. During my early teens, I was diagnosed with asthma caused by cats. I got prescribed Ventolin which I used when in contact with cats, it helped. I never had any other issues with asthma. As I was young, the allergy tests only confirmed me being
