GCA Duration Expectations
Presently down to 12.5 mg.
prednisone
and Actemra and feeling quite well. Is it reasonable to hope that one could recover without ever flaring again? Is it unreasonable to hope to go back to life as I once knew it?

Update
They have spoken to my rheumatologist who is now going to make further investigations and is keeping me on 10mg of
prednisone
instead of removing me from them in May.

How long to stop methotrexate when you have shingles.
Then I was put on 5mg
Prednisone
steroid tablets for 6 weeks (3 tablets daily for 2 weeks then 2 tablets daily for 2 weeks then 1 tablet daily for 1 week.These are all immune suppressants so no surprise I have ended up with shingles round half my waist. Was given antiviral tablets for one week.

Polymyalgia
My husband has had polymylgia for about 6 years and started on 15mg
prednisone
and has only ever got down to 8mg but then can't cope so is now on 13mg . Consultant wants him to get down to 5mg .He would have no quality of life and would be in pain too much .

How can I tell when adrenals are coming back?
After 15 months I am at 5.5mg of
prednisone
, taking it slow and doing OK, but wondering when or if I should notice adrenal activity. It doesn't seem that 5.5 is low enough to ask my PCP for a test.

Biotin interference with Thyroid bloodwork
I had tapered down to 2.5 mg of
Prednisone
for my PMR last testing. I am 81 so I'm sure things are changing because of age also and now I'm down to 2 mg of Pred.

Symptoms (?) at lower levels
Diagnosed with PMR in Jan. '23 and put at 20mg
prednisone
. Have now tapered slowly down to 3mg without much problem. Every time I start a taper of .5mg I do have a slight increase of pain for two to three weeks but then it fades.

Herpes (or acyclovir usage) affecting implantation after ivf embryo transfer?
I'm already doing downregulation with zorodex for a few months, then considering
prednisone
and baby aspirin for the Fet as an immune protocol but worried about another outbreak complicating things. Would love some advice.

prednisolone interacting with contraceptives..? Is this a thing?
I’ve never experienced problems like this until being on
prednisone
. So I feel this has to be the driving factor behind it.

prednisone and side effects/ dosage related
find I have to completely watch every morsel of food I put in my mouth and I must stay low-carb just to maintain, I lose very very very slowly but if I eat anything I seem like I gain a pound overnight is this true for anyone else and the other question I have is when people stop having weight gain on

Prednisone Tapering Challenge
This is the third try for me at tapering off of
Prednisone
. I started @ 15mg for PMR. The first few times, I'm sure I rushed trying to get to zero. Even got to zero mg the second time and had to jump back to 5 to get some relief.

breathlessness??
I went off
prednisone
and within two days PMR hit with a vengeance. I say PMR rheumatologist says it’s not PMR as I have no elevated inflammatory markers in blood tests. But I was in agony everywhere until I was finally given
prednisone
.

Could this be Ernest syndrome?
I know I am grasping at straws but since the
prednisone
is not working, just trying to see ifbthere maybe another explanation. The pain in my temples,jaws and back of head are worse than. Ever before.
