Low T
My husband has been on "vacation" from ADT, zytiga and
prednisone
for a year. His PSA is tested every 3 months. Today's number is still <0.1 ng/ml. However, his T was slowly building...17, 24, 42 and now dropping to 34. Should I be worried?

Down to half a mg of Prednisolone daily, but what is this?
I am down to half a mg of Prednisolone daily, with hopes of being steroid free by the new year, but have been having shooting pains in fingers for the last couple if weeks. In the last few days has escalated to painful wrists and was hoping it was only arthritis! Started taking paracetamol, which helped

Tired, sick-feeling, slightly unsteady?
Abiraterone,
prednisone
, Lupron, radiation. My PSA levels remain low and steady. However, for the last few weeks I have felt weaker than normal, slightly nauseated, and a little unsteady when walking. Pretty much all day long. Does anyone know if this is "normal?"

Hi, I am Mark, I am newly diagnosed with RA (July 2023). I am also lucky to have Trigeminal nerve pain and Angioedema, so I must have upset someone in a previous life. I am learning a lot about this illness, and I am now in the hands of the NHS. I take Methotrexate, Prednisolone and Hydroxychloroquine

Anti viral?
Does anyone know if they're still giving anti viral medication for a positive covid patient? I'm on rituximab and azathioprine aswell as prednisolone. I've not yet done a test but have been feeling breathless and coughing more than normal. I'm not allowed to have my covid or flu vaccinations due to

Advice on medication
Over the last couple of weeks I have had pains in my stomach and for longer than that regular bladder problems. Always feeling I need to go to the toilet. I am on 3.5 mg of prednisolone and am wondering if it has anything to do with the other pills I am taking each day. 1 -20 mg omeprazole, 1 - 1000

1mg Enteric Coated Prednisolone tablets
Does anybody get Enteric coated Pred in 1mg tablets prescribed?...My doctor just prescribed them to be gentler on my stomach and sent the prescription to the chemist and he said he's never known them in a 1mg tablet and he doubts they even do them ..he's given me the prescription to try somewhere else

I’ve been having flashes of light and now a dark spot in that eye. What to do? Could it be GCA? Back surgery on March 15.
I’m on 9mg of
prednisone
at this time. My PA requested the
prednisone
for my surgery and after surgery so I will not have an adrenal crisis. Thanks for any suggestions.

Flushing and menthol sensations
I stopped using any steroids (low dose
prednisone
and depo medrol knee injections), B3, alpha lipoic acid and quercerin. Allergist did a tryptase test (normal) and has ordered another within 12 hours of next reaction (I'm hoping it never comes) She also ordered epi pen.

Should I care Pred?
As a PMR sufferer, I’m wondering if it is a good idea to carry, say, 20mg of Prednisolone when out and about. I understand that a sudden flare or, worse, development of GCA symptoms, would make this a prudent course of action. Thx

PREDNISONE TAPERING WITH ACTEMRA
So I went up to 60 mg
prednisone
. Now I’m at 10 mg
prednisone
and am just starting Actemra. My question is how fast can I taper
prednisone
with Actemra? PS: I feel like the PMR never came back though. I had no PMR symptoms this time around. Would that be possible?

Where should I go from here? Reduced by doc from 6 Pred to 2 and now suffering
Having been told by 3 doctors to try to get off Prednisolone so I could be assessed by specialist at hospital (as no doctor felt able to confirm I really had PMR although on steroids for 2 years!) I reduced from 6 to 2 Pred in 8 weeks. Result: much itching when reducing down from 4 to 3 and now, at 2

Blood Tests
Hi, I have weird asthma, am on maximum therapy and wondered what effect high dose antihistamines and prednisolone have on your blood test results. Every time I ask my consultant I'm told it's irrelevant, also is our medication taken into account when we complete breathing tests? The technician who

Lanzaprozole and magnesium deficiency
Hi all, I was diagnosed with GCA in 2018. With the help and support of this group I came through some tough times, and will always be grateful for that. After a very gradual taper, I have now completed 13 months without prednisolone, and, fingers crossed, the GCA is still quiet. I am still having sub-cutaneous

Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working
