Had the ablation.
On 7 mgm
prednisone
. The thought of GCA lurked in my head. Otherwise I feel quite well considering I'm soon to be 82. I add, that when the local anesthetist saw my pulmonary function tests he did not want to do the procedure but my daily exercise paid off.

Remission
I have been off
prednisone
since last July, and Actemra since last October. I have not had any further GCA symptoms. I had an appointment with my rheumy earlier in the week and he feels it is safe to say it is now in remission.

Stiff and painful neck, a flare?
I’m on 9 mg
prednisone
. I’ve been trying to sort out causes for pain before I try increasing
prednisone
, but it’s a slow process what with waiting for appointments and tests to rule things out. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Giant Cell Arteritis
My medical began
prednisone
treatments on November 1st, and its been a roller coaster ride thus far. I am optimistic, and hopeful that we will figure out the appropriate protocol to manage this disorder. Thank you for allowing me access your site.

Immunology - prednsione, tacrolimus, intralpids.. what else? :)
For the transfer I am taking
prednisone
and tacrolimus, plus intralipids. Should I be checking this area more?

Wound healing and Steroid Use
I have been on
Prednisone
for just over a year. I am down to 10mg and cannot titer down without flare. I am waiting for approval for Kevzara.

Glaucoma and steroids
So I believe I have steroid glaucoma due to his failure in not only checking my medication list that included
prednisone
but failure to monitor my treatment properly. Added to this a fear that my optic nerve has been damaged.

Imuran Side Effects
Still titrating down on
prednisone
. Skipped Imuran a couple days and the nausea, fever/chills, back pain, abdomen pain, distension, etc stopped. Tried again and back. Called specialist, no information as to whether this is temporary , just simply told to stay on it.

Just can't seem to taper past 3mg of Prednisone.
I am going on 2 1/2 years on
Prednisone
. I have tapered down from 15mg to below 1mg three times and haven't been able to make it. It took me an entire year to taper from 3mg to below 1mg, while tapering 1/4 mg below 1 for a month at a time.

First three weeks on Prednisolone !
It has been a slow start on
prednisone
for PMR, after three weeks there is improvement apart from right shoulder still painful, doctor thinks that could be something else, that could do with some physio . I am still feeling anxious taking the medication.

Pain a week after starting taper
It's easy to have the illusion one is getting better when in fact it's the
prednisone
working.

Sudden anxiety attacks and mood swing on first Prednisone taper
Hi there I’m 44 and was put on
Prednisone
, 20mg, 3.5 weeks ago for suspected PMR. My mum also had PMR at a young age of 42. I’m still waiting for my rheumatology appointment, but meanwhile the GP prescribed steroids that are working well, where all other pain medication was not.

Second Opinion
I had additional labs done for any autoimmune issues and my IgG 4 was elevated and I was then told AIP and put on
prednisone
.

Coming Off Calquence (
We tried
prednisone
for 3 years but every time they took me off my hemoglobin would drop and eventually it was determined I needed treatment. As of now my numbers are looking really good and I'm considering going off of it. I feel like it's keeping me fatigued and impacting my memory.

Should it take this long to taper with PMR/GCA?
I am so sorry to be needing advice again, but I am wondering if anyone else has struggled to wean from higher doses of
Prednisone
for PMR and GCA. Since late January I have been on dosages of 65mg. and weaned down to 45mg. by early April.

Mouth ulcers with GCA and prednisone?
Funnily enough when I was on much higher doses of
prednisone
the mouth ulcers went away. Thanks much.
