Link between dry eyes and throat and PMRGCA? Any ideas?
This is my first post, so it’s a bit long-winded, as I’ve included some context and background. Context: • About 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-50s, I developed dry eyes and dry throat. This was eventually diagnosed as ‘dry eye/dry throat syndrome’. I had my tear ducts plugged to minimise loss

Clarification on ALP and LDH markers
Symptoms are right lateral glut pain and insomnia (due to slight discomfort, urgency to pee, worry, and taking second pill of
prednisone
late in the day). He is adjusting the
prednisone
to earlier in the day to see if that is the major factor of poor sleep quality. Any suggestions are welcome!

Is this Adrenal Insufficiency ???
Hello wise people , Looking for your thoughts please , I see my Rheumatologist in 3 days and I think he may want to change my current 5 mg Prednisolone or even add something in . I feel reasonably well informed and have no issue with pushing for his rationale behind his thoughts . I can’t really

So further to my previous post on this subject, and I can't find much else on HU about this particular problem, but here's where I am now.....I've just finished a 4-week course of Prednisolone to calm down the inflammation. It really helped to be honest by heck I've had the munchies, knackered but wired

STATUS UPDATE
It has been a couple months now off
prednisone
per doctors recommendations. As a reminder, the Rheumy believed I did not have PMR despite the elevation of inflammation markers and the success of
prednisone
because I am 49yo.

Numbness hands, face and feet
Took my last dosage of
prednisone
on January 8, 2023. Weekly self injections of Actemra since August 2022. My rheumatologist has sent a referral to a neurologist to find out why the numbess is still persisting. Any members experiencing numbness?

Tapering
Might be a silly question, so apologies if it is, when slowly reducing prednisolone,are the adrenals being asked “to join the party” and if they aren’t, is that when you can get some feelings of fatigue etc while you wait for them to wake up. Is that why we taper slowly to give them time?

Fed up with the PMR pain!
Hello, I've had PMR for about 2.5 years. And apart from the beginning, when the Doctor put me on 15mg of Prednisolone, I've had (varying degrees of) pain every day. I keep going up and down the steroid dosage scale and am currently on 2mg....but not managing very well. I would love to get off these
