General Headache Question
Question 1: If a GCA patient has a headache and they take extra
prednisone
(thinking it a flare) and the headache goes away, is that evidence that the headache was in fact inflammatory in nature?

Toronto Prostate Cancer Specialist for Dad
He is responding well to the medicines and is on Zytiga +
Prednisone
(5 mg). He got a bilateral orchidectomy done as well, so no Lupron. I wanted to get recommendations for oncologists especially those dealing with Prostate cancer in Ontario, Canada. Please help. Thank you.

Update on severe skin lesions
She stopped the infusions and had me on an increased dose of
prednisone
30 for 5 days, 20 for 5, 10 for 5 days and back to my 5mg
prednisone
that I had tapered to. I also stopped taking Colchicine which we had started to counteract continual mouth ulcers.

Endurance Athlete w PMR
My family physician sent me to rheumatologist who put me on
prednisone
- 20 mg/day ~ 1 week, 10 mg/day ~ 2 weeks then slowly reducing to 3 mg/day over course of 1 1/2 years. I brought myself down to 1 1/2 mg/day a couple of years ago.

Curious about thin-skinned ears---Prednisone?
Just the other day, I wondered if it was from almost five years of
prednisone
; still on 2mg and TCZ. Do I have any mates with red ears? 👂🏼💞

Hospital and large doses of Prednisone??
During my first visit with Rheumatologist, I asked how to handle symptoms if they returned during tapering. I suggested that I go back to the last dosage that worked plus some, as I have read here. She said no, that I should go to Emergency at the hospital with the thought that they would inject me with

Frequent Eye Prescription Changes and Cataract Surgery
I started on 60 MG
Prednisone
and have tapered to 5.5 mg since then using DSNS. I have had vision problems almost from the start -- blurry vision mostly, but now I have significant cataracts -- AND I've had to change my prescription 4 times since AUG 22.

Right Temple Pain but Tolerable
I’m currently taking 35 mg of
prednisone
and dropping to 30 mg on May 11. My first rheumatologist appointment is May 16. GCA was not confirmed by biopsy but I’m not convinced it’s not GCA or some other type of vasculitis.

Prefer pain to steroids!
Today a rheumatologist told me despite negative blood tests he was pretty certain I have PMR and after further blood tests wants me to start taking
prednisone
.

Heebeejeebies on low pred??
I have been down to 1mg of
prednisone
since January and toggling back and forth between 1 and 1/2 mg since April. But I feel mentally out of whack. Paranoid. Insecure. Incompetent. Stupid compared to others. Depressed. Anxious.

Pacing Activity with GCA
I was diagnosed with GCA in April 2024 and am currently on 40 mg of
prednisone
and methotrexate. I have not felt “normal” by any means but recently I was able to do a bit more even with my heavy legs/arms and fatigue.

Is This Normal??
Is it normal after nearly 5 years on ADT + Zytig,
Prednisone
, and Xgeva, to have constant "Flu-Like" symptoms, (sans a fever)? Some days, everything hurts, legs hurt at night , feel like my blood is boiling while I try to sleep. Are these "side effects" or just part of the advanced cancer?

Can you help regarding symptoms?
I am presently on 10 mgs
prednisone
. I think I probably do have PMR as I am uncomfortable and have neck and facial soreness at this dose. I had a thorough eye exam, all is well. Should I worry about irregular transient jaw or head soreness (not serious pain) since my eyes are fine?

pmr symptoms
Currently on 15 mg
prednisone
down from orininal 20 mg for pmr diagnosis. Don’t hear others talk about pain in this area and wondering if it’s part of pmr or if something else is going on. Have talked with my gp about the possibility of developing Gca. She doesn’t think so.

Maintenance dose of prednisone - how effective?
For people who are on this all the time or during the winter months, what mg are you on and does it stop infections turning bad?
