PREDNISONE AS A TEMPORARY PAIN RELIEF A GOOD IDEA
I have been off
prednisone
since late last year at the request of the rheumatologist. They do not believe I have PMR. Since I have been off
prednisone
I have not gone a day without pain and stiffness. My inflammation markers continue to be high. My day is truly predictable at this point.

COVID and/or vaccine-induced PMR
To be specific, for PMR she says that patients who's onset happened after COVID or a COVID vaccine tend to require higher initial doses of
prednisone
, but that they *generally* are able to reduce their dose without flareups more quickly.

Nasty fall and Lupus
hi all, I haven’t been writing on here for some time. On 6/7/23 I fell out of my disability stair lift from the top of our steep stairs at home! I flipped over, landed on my back and fell down the stairs and landed on the hallway floor on my head. I knocked myself out, fractured my skull, had a brain

To walk or not to walk?
I've recently been diagnosed with PMR and started on 15mg of Prednisolone which has now been reduced to 12mg. The meds are defiitely working but the stiffness has come back over the last few days. Do people 'work through it' and move and exercise or rest? I've tried both, and the pain and stiffness seem

Reducing Prednisone!
Hi, Although I have been using
Prednisone
for over three years now I can’t say if gained any wisdom I can give you other than try hard to reduce the dosage very slowly. I’ve managed to reduce my dosage from 6 mags daily to now 1.5 msg daily and am hoping to phase completely off it!

Progress
After just over seven months have finally made it to 10mg prednisolone (from 50mg) and feel like celebrating ! I would not be in this position if it were not for this fabulous supportive group - THANK YOU so much. You've given me confidence to question the medical establishment even though it is still

I have had pmg since last September and have very gradually lowered my dose from 15mg to 1mg. which I have been on for the last six weeks.

NHS App
Currently tapering down on meds. On RTX infusion , Methotrexate and Prednisolone. There is the need to monitor bloods and every three months get a ANCA reading. Thought I would look on the NHS App for results, but none are visible. On call to get the results, queried and was told its political,

Bruising?
Six months ago my MO switched me from Nubequa to Zytiga plus
prednisone
. Since then the bruising has become much more of a problem and my arms are covered with bruise markings. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Grumpy Old Lady in pain
A follow up to my previous post.. Is it my fault? That I didn’t give them enough relevant information when I phoned? How do I know what is relevant when I’m not a trained medical professional and I can’t see what comes up on their computer screen against my name? Would it hurt for them to ask

Hi everyone
My name is Dave and I was diagnosed with MPA Vasculitis around the end of September. I had been having fevers and night sweats that would come and go most days for approx 6 months. Also aching legs and tingly feet. GP had no luck finding the cause for about 3 or 4 months. Then my wife insisted I should

live yoghurt and prednisolone
I debated whether to add this to the current discussion or start with a fresh question. Lots of you say you take prednisolone with live yoghurt, but when I searched for relevant information a while back it said that you should not take prednisolone with live yoghurt (can't remember why). I eat a lot

Surgery and PMR?
How important is the fact that you have PMR relevant to hospital treatment and surgery? I am on a low dose of Prednisolone and recently had abdominal surgery. According to my GP’s surgery notes I don’t have PMR at all but it has been recorded on the NHS database and I get extra Covid vaccinations.

Down to 1 mg Pred and how to let go?!
I feel much better than 2018 and will always be grateful to the
prednisone
, but I do now know I have some arthritis and skeletal issues that cause some of the continuing discomfort. The reason I would like to let go of the Pred is not the weight - that came off several months ago.
