Antibiotic and Actemra
I'm pretty sure, I will have a flare if I do that, unless of course, I increase my
prednisone
. Or do I hold off starting the antibiotic and take it in the 14 days between injections? Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. Thanks for any advice. Annette

My Dad's symptoms are worse
Is it possible that symptoms of Autoimmune encephalitis can get worse again even though it seems that the
prednisone
is controlling the seizures my Dad was having. My Dad's skin condition has deteriorated which the GP says is due to the
prednisone
.

Rheumy exam/USA major university medical system - disappointed
Tried
prednisone
, B12 - no relief. Rheumy did no physical exam. I showed her my ankles, hands & feet. She did not even listen to my heart. Rheumy ordered bloodwork & an echocardiogram. Oh, and she recorded the visit on her iPhone. This is at a major US university (Ivy League) medical system.

prednisone and antibiotics
Has anyone had a problem with antibiotics wiping out
prednisone
. Was down to 2.5-lowest in 8 years. Took antibiotics (Bactrim) and all old PMR symptoms came back. Hurt all over. Read Bactrim and Cipro are quinolones and do not work well with Steroids. Neither Dr or pharmacist knew this.

Battling Outbreaks
Am currently in an asthma flare and already dealing with an outbreak and I need to take
prednisone
which usually gives me an outbreak. Not sure weather I should hold off on the valtrex till done with the
prednisone
or start taking it to help try to curb it from being too bad.

Korsuva
He has tried every creme,
prednisone
in high doses, oatmeal baths, etc...Nothing helps except ice packs for a short time.I read that the FDA approved the drug Korsuva for treatment of CKD-aP but I can't find with research and phone calls whether medicare will cover it. Dialysis center says no.

Prednisone reduction
I am reducing by 1 mg a week
prednisone
and got from 17 down to 12 and feeling OK. Is this because I definitely do not have PMR or because I'm taking methotrexate? will my adrenals start working if I get off
prednisone
and stay on methotrexate

A Scary Situation with a Missed Dose
In the days that followed, I was reminded of the rather precarious situation I am in being dependent on
prednisone
. I became concerned that if I should be in an accident and did not receive my
prednisone
, my adrenal insufficiency could put my life in danger.

Do I have symptoms of PMR
Would I get symptoms for this when I’m on 20mg of
prednisone
? My bloods show raised CRP and the ESR machine wasn’t working , GP has put satisfactory next to these. Am I being totally neurotic, please say that I am. Thank you

Unknown Cause Encephalitis
The LP apparently showed improvement so they discharged me with a higher dose of
prednisone
. I am currently struggling with some side effects from the
prednisone
but will obviously take it as I am assuming it saved my life.

Baseline PSMA-Pet scan?
I've been on Lupron & Zytiga/5mg
prednisone
since 8/1/2022. I started out with Gleason (3+4) 7. Last May I had pelvic radiation to hit lymph nodes as per a 2021 PSMA-Pet scan. Now it's time to stop all treatment at the 2 year mark.

GCA flair
I have been dealing with my flairs and upping my
prednisone
then trying to go back down. I was doing ok for the last month at 7 mg. I am also on Actemera infusions once a month. I went on vacation for three weeks and was not back in time for my four week infusion.

running out of Zytiga….
due to pre Auth issues I am going to run out of Zytiga …..I’m guessing I’ll be without it for at least a few days possibly a week…..haven’t heard back from MO about how to make the best use of what I have left and whether I should continue to take the
prednisone
.

The end ??
I have been trying to reduce
prednisone
to 3.5mg for the last 4 months. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with PMR and GCA. I was happy enough with the one to two year burnout prediction from rhumatoligist. Yes I have read all your stories and realise it may never happen.
