Nubeqa vs Abiraterone for post Docetaxel maintenance?
My challenges with side effects included eliminating Tylenol and reducing ABI for one cycle; and then, switching from 1000mg ABI on empty stomach to 250mg ABI+ 10mg
Prednisone
with low fat breakfast. The end result was PSA dropped to .55 and liver enzymes returned to normal range.

After Rheumy appt...now where or nowhere?
She harped about me being at 30 mg Pred and I should "get that
prednisone
down". At this point, I'm wondering if I should increase it to see if it helps with the pain, although it HAS NOT in past. The only thing that was initially helping was Ibuprofen and Tylenol together.

update on subacute thyroiditis
I was eventually given a course of steroids as my ESR was stubbornly high (40mg
prednisone
) which was tapered off and B blockers to manage thyrotoxic symptoms. The steroids worked like magic and I’m now feeling so much better. I also started B complex vitamins and iron supplements.

Steroids not working?
I’ve just had a 5 day rescue course of prednisolone due to an asthma flare. However, my peak flow is still only about 70% and I have an itchy, scratchy throat and cough. I don’t actually have a cold so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve never had a course of steroids before where it hasn’t made me completely

Prednisone-2 week jump and back to 1-2mg over what you were taking.
Thank you for all of your suggestions. One more question. Should I taper in 1/2mg from my temporary 8mg or can I just drop from 8mg to 5mg. I was taking 3mg which caused me to jump to 8mg because of all the pain and fatigue. I have been taking the jump of 8mg for 9 days. Should I wait until I hit

omeprazole query
is it advisable to keep taking Omeprazole before taking prednisolone as my doctor prescribes, or would breakfast eating beforehand be as effective? (In the interests of taking less drugs than absolutely necessary).

Extra pred worked
So.....yesterday (Fri 20th Oct) my son and now DIL, were married. I took an extra 2mgs of prednisolone the day before & yesterday, and had the most incredible day. I was even on the dance floor strutting my stuff at 11.45pm! Just an extra 2mgs (and careful 'pacing') allowed me to embrace every moment

Prednisolone increase: 0.25mg to 1mg
During wk 5 of my slow D-L taper from 0.5 to 0.25mg, bi-lateral shoulder discomfort started yesterday. Based on the knowledge gained here I have increased to 1mg and plan to stay at that dose for 5 days, and then drop to 0.5mg, sticking at 0.5 for a month at least before trying the last step once more

Allergy to prednisolone?
Hi everyone I have severe asthma and was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency in 2020 after taking lots of Pred when Covid triggered my asthma. I was just left on 5mg Pred for two years with no endocrinology involvement. I was eventually transferred to an endocrinologist who tried me on hydrocortisone

Migraine and prednisolone
Does anyone else suffer with migraines while taking prednisolone which I take for PMR (7.5 mg at present)? I started having migraine with aura several months ago and they seem to be getting more frequent. There's no pain, just this unpleasant visual disturbance. I've had my eyes tested and they're fine

Another anniversary
I still wake up every morning and take my Zytiga and my
prednisone
. I still go to my tri annual oncology appointment to receive my Eligguard and I still wait for those PSA test results to pop up in my electronic chart but other than that I just don't think about it much at all. .

Benefits of knowing your illness/condition/disease to help others as well as yourself
It’s about time I posted that a couple of months ago my husband was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the diagnosis having had PMR, GCA/LVV myself over the past 5 and a half years and haven’t, until now, felt ready to share his story on the forum.
