Prednisolone Week 2 Completed
UPDATE: So, not as clear cut as I was hoping in terms of documenting my Prednisolone journey as after week 1 my dose has been halved from 30mg to 15mg by my NHS Rheumatologist so it's all a bit messy at the minute in terms of 'tapering' Nevertheless, here goes: Week 2 started on 15mg really well, day

Omeprazole query
Recently diagnosed and on prednisolone; also prescribed Alendronic acid (weekly dose) and Omeprazole. I thought my GP said that as I have no history of gastric problems to only take the Omeprazole in the evening before I take the alendronic acid the next day. But she has prescribed enough for once daily

Great PMR forum
Almost 4 years ago I got the diagnoses of PMR. Had never heard of it before although I worked in medical research. Now since more than one year on Prednisolone 1mg/day. You all have been of great help, especially because of the fast replies. My wishes for a happy and healthy 2024 come from Bruges, Belgium

Another Cialis Question

Prednisone quandary
Im looking for some advice please. I'm currently on 7mg or pred and have been for many years. However over the last week I've experienced difficulty in walking. It's feels like I'm walking in deep mud. I've learnt to tolerate this problem but last Thursday it was quite extreme. I came home from walking

PMR Ups and Downs
So I have been diagnosed with PMR and originally started on Prednisolone 30mg.....this plan was changed by my NHS Rheumatologist to 15mg over a longer period. I switched to this dose on Tuesday of this week and initially I didn't notice any difference.....if anything, by Thursday I almost felt at 100%

Interesting visit with Rheumy - fat not edema!
I had a very interesting visit at the Rheumy e few days ago. We discussed MtX that I have started, and I have very good effect now after 4Ā½ month, so he will increase from 20 mg to 25, and start decreasing prednisolone. I am on 12,5 mg now so down to 10 mg, and then very slowly 1,25 mg every 6 weeks.

Good news on the bone density front
Hi, this group is helpful and supportive and feels like an extended family. So I just wanted to share a bit of good news. I had a DXA 18 months ago not long after starting Prednisolone and my scores were: -0.1 in the spine which was healthy but not so good in the hip: -1.9 Total Hip T score
