Gpa chest infection
Hi all, I've been battling a chest infection on day 4 of antibiotics. Already on prednisolone, azathioprine and rituximab. Just doesn't seem to be shifting. Any advice on what to do to help fight the infection? Thanks in advance XX

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.

Iāve been on 0.5mgs Prednisolone for about 2 months now & had no problems when reducing from 1mg, so today Iāve taken a leap of faith & taken none! Iāll do it gradually & if

AI Prednisone Poem
(If you're in the UK you can replace "

Prednisone
" In mornings of despair I woke, With limbs that ached and heart that broke, My body's plea was hard to bear, The curse of PMR was here.

Curious about my experiance. Interested in what others think?
Had stiff muscles and increasingly sore knees and shoulders and finding it difficult/impossible bending down. Here in Wales Drs do not prescribe physiotherapy, we have to do it ourselves. Usually takes about about 12 weeks to be seen. However my disabled partner was in hospital with 2 osteoporotic vertebral

PMR & Stage II Polycystic Kidneys
PCP determined PMR based on my ātinman stiffnessā and bloodwork showing crazy inflammation levels in late January, and started me on 20 mg of
prednisone
. An ultrasound and xray turned up polycystic kidneys with a too-large to pass stones.

feeling scared coping with necessity to increase dose after flare
A bit of history..... My PMR was diagnosed in June 2021 and I started on 15mg prednisolone. (it had been undiagnosed since the Feb). I discovered this network and have dipped in on and off to pick up tips - Thank you! I managed pretty well getting down to 5mg by September 2022 but then being aware

Tapering and Fatigue
Hello All Some advice would be very welcome. I completed a slow taper (over 4 weeks) form 9.5 to 9mg prednisolone 10 days ago and thought I was doing quite well. However, in the last two days I have been completely overcome with fatigue such that I am barely able to function. I also feel a bit shaky

Prednisolone query
I recently requested coated prednisolone which my doctor has prescribed. I expected they would not have a line down the middle, but they appear to look exactly the same as the uncoated ones. They were issued in a plain white box with a dispensary printed label stating āprednisolone 5mg Gastro-Resistant

hello
I was diagnosed with PMR about four years ago. Generally I am a positive person and I donāt dwell on my symptoms but getting off prednisolone seems to be impossible. I get down to 1mg then it flares again. Iām beginning to see a correlation between the flu vaccination and a flare up. I try to think

How important is the timing when the dose is 0.5mg?
hello and happy new year! Iām successfully down to 0.5mg Prednisolone daily and take it when I wake in the early hours (2-3.30am) How important is this timing at this dose? Is there a more beneficial time?

Steroids and blood-sugar...
I posted recently about the "Prednisolone jitters" and quite a lot of people seem to have responded with similar experiences. I think I might have some insight which might be useful to someone out there... Before being diagnosed with PMR I used to get episodes of low blood sugar. I know this because

Best time to take Prednisone
I heard PMRPro write that there is a best time to take the
prednisone
to help the adrenals wake up. I am at 4.5 mg now and taking it at 4 am has made all the difference --- no more headaches during tapering. But I am very interested in helping my adrenals wake up. Thank you all in advance.

"Prednisolone Jitters"...is it A Thing...?
I am fairly new to Prednisolone, barely one week in. It has helped enormously but it has also had some odd and unexpected effects. I often wake in the middle of the night with my body raring to get up and do some gardening, chop some wood or take the dog for a long hike...at 1am...! My mind, of course

switch to hydrocortisone
Iāve been to see the endocrinologist today on the recommendation of the rheumatologist. I had a borderline synacthan test , on the basis of which today he has suggested I switch to 5mg of hydrocortisone twice daily from 4 mg of prednisolone. In the background to this I have also been prescribed low
