Actemra and Extremely Fast Taper off of Prednisone
It seems that her thoughts are that Actemra be used in lieu of
Prednisone
not in conjunction with, and from what I've read Actemra is a steroid reducing drug (at least at first) that will allow for a gradual but quicker taper off of
Prednisone
until such time that one would only be using Actemra.

Update from GP re blood in urine
YES I definitely have symptoms of cystitis and YES that can be caused from use of
prednisone
. AND so can even a mild UTI cause traces of blood in urine, it would appear so ??

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.

Sleeping demon still stirring?
I finally made my first true attempt at being off
prednisone
about 3 months ago and it has gone reasonably well. I've known that it takes more than a few months to declare victory and over the last 2 weeks I've noticed a few aches but really not much.

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.

Post PMR treatment
Even though I completed
prednisone
for PMR in June 2022 & my blood work has been good. I am still on an anti inflammatory diet (basically a gluten & dairy free mediterranean diet). I find that I tire more easily & for longer periods.

Abiraterone + Prednisone with Preexisting CAD
This means I already had preexisting Coronary Artery Disease when I started Abiraterone +
Prednisone
on November 10, 2023. Apparently, Abiraterone can increase cardiovascular risks. Now, the question is should I continue with Abiraterone +
Prednisone
? If no, what are my options?

Sciatica and numbness in leg.
Suggestion that increase in Steroids
prednisone
might be helpful. ? I am currently on 10mg having tapered again recently. Just wondered whether anyone else had been prescribed this. ? and if it worked at all ?

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?

GCA question
I am happy to report I am feeling pretty good and down to 5 1/2 mg if
prednisone
. My question is, does anyone else with GCA get a pain like feeling in their head and a feeling that something is wrong or going to happen. The feeling only lasts several seconds but it is unnerving.

Tiredness from Zytiga
He takes the Zytiga at 9:30 am with the
prednisone
on an empty stomach and has 1 Lupron injection. He is unable to wake up until late afternoon and is always tired and we were wondering if the Zytiga had anything to do with his extreme lethargy or if it was the advanced disease itself.

Follow-up with Rheumatologist Re: Pred Tapering
I asked if she is looking to replace the
prednisone
with methotrexate and she responded that she is looking to do just that. This is a scary endeavor and I appreciate the support received on this forum.

How to get a diagnosis?
Now i think it's affecting my lung and only
prednisone
keep my symptom under control. I also have problem with intermittent pain in my face, close to the ear and eye. My eyebrow always drop during that kind of flare but it never stay long enought for the doctor to do something.
