Des Oxynorm work for Pmr
I was diagnosed with pmr in 2020 and have been on Prednisolone since then although l am down to 5mg now l cant get beyond that due to flares. My doctor has said it would be good for me to still come off gradually with the help of Oxynorm to control pain. I am a bit worried about doing this as l might

High BP, meds don't work
On
prednisone
and a drug called Actemra, a monthly infusion. I missed my treatment last month of Actemra, and went without it. Blood pressure did not improve so do not think the Actemra is the cause. My blood work and urine tests show blood and protein in both blood work and urine.

How medical training works
Obviously people who’ve worked in medicine or allied fields know this but that leaves a lot of people who don’t and might be interested. Keep it simple and deal with what used to be called the Big Five, the London teaching-hospitals, Guy’s, Tommy’s etc. They have large numbers of Consultants in each

Prednisolone out of date
I realised yesterday that all my prednisolone is out of date by at least several months. Because I already had quite a lot of pred in 1mg 5 mg and 2 and a half mg I have not been ordering any more. I decided to speak with my pharmacist this morning and he told me to put in another order for pred and

Aleve/Naproxin?
My rheumatologist told me not to take Ibuprofen while on
Prednisone
. I am at 10/mg per day of
Prednisone
. Last night I had a headache due to returning to our home at 9000ft in elevation. It takes me a couple of days to adapt. I drank a big glass of water and took one Aleve/Naproxen.

Pain in wrists and thumbs.
I was diagnosed with PMR nine years ago and have had my ups and downs but I was fairly settled on 5mgs of Prednisolone. I now have another flare with the usual tiredness and painful shoulders and hips. However, for the first time I also have pain in my shins and ankles, my forearms and hands, but especially

Prednisolone taper
Hi everyone Been tapering from 5mg Pred for adrenal insufficiency and managed to get down to 3mg last week. Then down to 2.5mg and begun to feel unwell so went back to 3mg. The last few days I've been feeling a bit nauseous and my stomach has been sore. So I upped my steroid to 10mg (sick day rules)

prednisolone 3 week course followd by surgery
Hi please can anyone advise how long to wait in between a prednisolone course and surgery ? I have heard from the nurses that if you have an IM steroid injection they postpone surgery for 6 to 8 weeks to allow the imunosuppresant effects to wear off before surgery. my RA consultant seems to think

Different drug companies
Not sure why I always feel some unease when my Prednisolone comes from a different company than my norm. My pharmacist invariably gives me my 5mg Prednisolone from Accord. Lately there have been a few different companies and today the packaging was from RelonChem. Never heard of this drug company

From pred to methotrexate.
I'm slowly dropping my prednisolone, and currently taking 20mg methotrexate. When I drop pred completely, with I still have weight issues on the meth? Any ideas?

Adrenal function at the lower doses of pred
Hi, I am down to 2mg of Prednisolone and am feeling a bit anxious about the next reduction . The worst I felt was at Christmas when I think I was reducing from around 7 mg to 6. For those of us lucky enough to get down to 2mg does it mean that the adrenals must be firing up/ working reasonably well?
