Exercise and muscle pain
I have had PMR for 5+ years now, 76 yrs old and still weaning down on
Prednisone
, now at 2 mg. I have strained my lower back with lifting and bending too much as we recently moved, and the Physical therapist has me on mild back exercises. Oh my gosh, I am so sore through my whole pelvic area.

My first post on my PMR journey.This forum has an unbelievable depth of knowledge which has helped me understand the condition and the road forward so thank you everyone for sharing your advice. Just 3 weeks in on 15mg and going OK. But suddenly a backward step in discomfort which coincided with a change

Can’t reduce below 5mg
hello I’ve just joined this group in the hope that I can get some advice or at least some understanding of my situation! I was diagnosed with PMR nearly 2 years ago when I was 58. I’ve been on Prednisolone ever since, starting on 20mg which resulted in the usual miraculous sense of relief, and have managed

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
Morning, i joined this group a few months ago and find it so useful even though I don't have pmr. I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement

PMR and Pfizer Covid Vaccine
Within 5 days of my husband and I receiving the first Pfizer Covid jab, he started getting pains in his legs and shoulders. He took paracetamol & used Bio Freeze, similar to deep heat. He got progressively worse, a GP diagnosed Frozen Shoulder over the phone, prescribed Co-Codamol & Naproxen. Within

Eyesight improvement on Prednisolone
Hi there, my first post. So I thought my eyesight was going a little blurry and went for a test last week. It turns out that my mid range sight is actuality a lot better than it was 2 yrs ago. Down to +0.5 from +1.5. The optician said it was due to the steroids and can sometimes happen. I have to go

Stopped pred recently and not so bushy tailed.
Hi, I am fortunate to have stopped taking Prednisolone nearly 3 weeks ago. I feel a bit more tired this week and generally a bit stiff in my muscles - however weekly yoga seems to help with the muscles. Also I have continued to have sore muscles in my chest and slight pins and needles feeling in

Oops! With the Prednisone
On March 28, when I gave the pillboxes to Janice, I wrote a note that said, "Add 2.5 mg
prednisone
and Gabapentin AM and PM." Three nights ago, when I flipped my night-time meds out, a half-pill dropped on the vanity. ??

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".

Have I got RA ?
Hi I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR for 18 months and now on 5mg each morning under the care of a Rhuematologist . I have had Osteoarthritis for a good few years mainly in my finger joints . My Dr is now questioning if I have RA because my middle finger on the right hand is markedly more swollen

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!

Dexa results
I have just received my dexa results after a year on Prednisolone and Risedronate. Lumber spine is normal, but left hip and left neck of femur ( they only scanned the left) show Osteopenia. I understand what T scores and Z scores are, but I got three figures for each site, and I wondered if anyone knows
