reducing Prednisolone
I have had PMR for eight years and for the last five, I have been on 3 mg of prednisolone. My GP was concerned that I had been on Pred for so long. My blood sugar is normal as is my DEXA scan, although it does show slight deterioration in my spine. However, it’s within the normal range. First rheumatologist

Collagen Supplements and Prednisolone
Someone has recommended Collagen supplements to help treat tennis elbow. Does anyone know if it’s safe to take with Pred (currently on 0.75mg)?

pain with slow taper
I’ve been on prednisolone since early July and have tapered down to 13.5 from 20. I had to go back up to 15 for a couple of weeks after getting Covid, but am back to 13.5. I’m achy in my shoulders and arms but nowhere near the pain I was in before preds, so is this normal and will it pass after a few

Why does my rheumatologist want me to go onto Methotrexate when I am on a low does of Prednisolone and am getting good symptom relief?
I am now down to 2mg of Prednisolone a day. From a few weeks in my rheumatologist has wanted me to go onto Methotrexate. I have never achieved total symptom relief and recently I've probably been slightly stiffer than before, certainly in the mornings. My last blood tests showed that my CRP had gone

To Tangocharlie. I would just like to say that my first appointment was a telephone appointment, my GP immediately from the symptoms diagnosed PMR, she prescribed Prednisolone (20mgs) initially, I went overnight from being unable to move to virtually back to normal. The most helpful part of the consultation

Chilblain Lupus?
Hi All, Well, after being well for a good period of time it all came to a grinding and painful halt. I have what seems to be Chilblain Lupus. Has anyone else had this or similar? I've attached pictures below to show what it looks like. My apologies in advance as it all looks absolutely horrible

Puzzled by a past asthma attack experience
Around about 2019 I was staying at Harewood near Leeds visiting my parents. I was with a friend and when we were there we enjoyed exploring the Harewood Estate. Tucked away in the woods there, there is the original Harewood Castle which looks like a freestanding keep and is quite awe inspiring. To access

what next?
I was diagnosed with PMR five years ago and my gp kept me on Prednisolone for two years which resulted in a catalogue of side effects including glaucoma and cataracts. My diagnosis was confirmed as RA shortly after. I have been taking methotrexate successfully since. However my condition has worsened

Could my PMR have improved, so I could get by with less

His view was great that the
prednisone
had a sharp positive effect but now he wasn’t dead sure of what was occurring in regards to whether this was in fact PMR.

Starting Med Today
I've never taken any meds before other than the occasional antibiotic and
prednisone
for acute conditions. The list of side effects on the Mayo Clinic website are horrifying.

There is some belief that the compression fractures and the prostate cancer treatment (
prednisone
0r severely reduced testosterone from the treatment) may have caused the osteoporosis,. Damnedif you do and damned if you don't.
