Adrenal insufficiency and dosage
I searched this site but didn't find this article. For me the top takeaway was "[i]Mean prednisolone dose the last 3 months and basal P-cortisol were the best and simplest predictors of adrenal function."[/i] This conclusion seems to support the DSNS protocol(which I am using with success so far--thank

possible flare or low cortisol
Hi, reduced my prednisolone about 2 weeks ago to 4.5mg from 5mg and have been okay until today. A couple of twinges here and there but manageable. Today I’m feeling awful, headache, pain in back, legs, feet and shoulders/neck. Absolutely exhausted and feeling tearful. Could this be a flare do you think

Lupron and Abiraterone post treatment expectations?
Ive had RP; PSA didn’t go to zero; started Lupron and Abi +
Prednisone
and then 33 radiation treatments of whole pelvic region. PSA has been undetected for 7 mos now. Hope to stop all treatments after 6/24 Has anyone walked similar path? Did PSA stay at zero? Did libido return?

Bright Lights and Halos
Hi, For a change, I am not asking for myself, but for a male friend who has literally just been diagnosed with PMR. He is on day five of taking 15mg Gastro costed Pred, and seeing an improvement in his symptoms. However yesterday he started to see massive halos around single point lights like street

it feels like I'll never get better
Hi! I've had constant air hunger every day since June. During my early teens, I was diagnosed with asthma caused by cats. I got prescribed Ventolin which I used when in contact with cats, it helped. I never had any other issues with asthma. As I was young, the allergy tests only confirmed me being

Any ideas for travel insurance for those with PMR
I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR about 18 months now. Have tried hard to taper but following flares have now been told by Rheumy to go back to my original dose of 15 mg and start again from there. Today has been my first day back on the 15 and suddenly I am pain free and feel almost like before

Rheumatoid Meningitis
I finished my taper dose of
prednisone
and am still on Keppra to prevent seizures. I would love to hear your experiences, especially if anyone has had rheumatoid meningitis. How long was the recovery? Did you ever relapse?

Surgery and aspirin: what protocol with APS?
For the past 2 months I've been following a treatment based on Methylprednisolone infusions (2.5 g) and Oral
prednisone
(of which I'm currently taking 5 mg. Per day). I have doubts if I should stop all together Aspirine and what protocol to follow for surgery when having APS.

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

My CRP is over 100 and last week diagnosed with PMR
Add in the painful foot neuropathy from my diabetes and now on 20mg
prednisone
with morning glucoses running close to 400 and I am not in a good place. At night the
prednisone
tends to wear off. So last night all the pain came back as if I had no
prednisone
.

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.

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

rheumatologist locum visit for prednisone refill
One of the things he mentioned was that injection of
prednisone
into the effect of joints would be better than oral
prednisone
. Considering I’m incredibly needle phobic, that would definitely not be better for my mental health!

SBRT to C2 and hilar lymph node
Will the zytiga,
prednisone
and Eliguard further damage the bone? Anyone else had radiation to the C2? Feeling very apprehensive. The doctor also wants to radiate the hilar and para aortic lymph nodes when he is finished with the C2. Thank you for your responses.
