residual symptoms of PMR
I was put on 15 mg of
Prednisone
and slowly tapered down through the year. It’s been about three months since I’ve been off it. My labs are normal for the inflammation markers. I still have minor aches and pains in my arms shoulders and hips.

At zero prednisone, almost a week
Feel a little stiff and sore in the am, but no obvious need for
prednisone
. I also cut back methotrexate from 6 pills 12mg to 5 pills weekly. Will see Rheumy second week of November. I would like to cut the meth out some more. If I don't need it, I don't want to take it.

Bunion operation
I'm currently on 3.75mg
prednisone
. Should I follow sick day rules, maybe increase to 5mg, or first discuss with surgeon and anaesthetist? Thank for this very helpful forum.

pain beneath right shoulder
I thought at first that it was the start of a flare of PMR so upped my
prednisone
by 5mg (I’m currently on 4.5mg) for 5 days however this made no difference so I’ve gone back to 4.5mg. Any thoughts greatfully received. Thank you xx

Enhertu side effect: pneumonitis (lung inflammation)
Unfortunately this means I have to abandon Enhertu and wait to start any new chemo until the lungs are stabilized through a course of high-dose steroids (60 mg
Prednisone
/day) that will gradually taper off over several weeks.

Increase dosage and taper
I have been managing my PMR for seven years, and on
prednisone
for five of those years after thinking I could manage it withou meds. Dumb idea. I can taper down to 4mg or 5mg, but have to then increase to a higher dosage to address a reoccurring pain and numbness in arms.

Advice please
My CRP was 139 and I was started on 3gms on
prednisone
, 1gm a day over three days intravenously then 60mg daily reducing over a year. Repeat that in 2018 then Covid hit in 2020 and I was still on an high dosage and I got lost in the system.

Methotrexate or Prednisone which is more damaging?(also update on eyes)
She mentioned that I may want to try Methotrexate to lower
prednisone
. I have to admit that I'm scared to try another drug. I feel like
prednisone
is the devil I know and Metho is the devil I don't know.

Not fair!
I put a call into my rheumatologist for a prescription for 20 mg
prednisone
. Can anyone tell me about how long it took for the pain to subside after starting
prednisone
. I honestly cannot remember from my first time with this but it seems like it only took a day or two at most.

My GCA Update
She put me on 60 mg.
prednisone
and submitted a request for approval of Actrema from my insurance. I’m not happy that I have it, but it does feel like a relief to know what is causing me to feel so poorly.

Methotrexate Confusion
I am applying the DSNS process and currently reducing from 4.5mg to 4mg of
Prednisone
without any problems…so far! It would “appear” that the increased dose of MTX has helped me to reduce to my current level of 4/4.5mg of
Prednisone
.

Fallout from PET/CT Scan
This made my cancer castrate resistant and I am on Abiraterone 1000 mg +
Prednisone
5 mg. The PET/CT report also stated severe coronary artery calcification. Yesterday I had CT scan of the heart.

Prednisone and SSZ
Is 3000mg SSZ sound like too much if still reducing
prednisone
. I'm on day 10 SSZ at 2000 mg SSZ and due to go to 2500 mg on day 13 and then level off at 3000 on day 16? I'm reducing
prednisone
by 2.5 a week Currently at 15 mg

Seizures
I am being treated like I have vasculitis and am on high doses of
prednisone
. Could that alter bloodwork? How do I find out more about seizures and management? They suspended my license until I see a neurologist. I saw one in Mexico in February but have yet to see one in Canada.
