Reducing TCZ?
I feel I'm on the home straight with my GCA/PMR, down to 2mg
prednisone
daily and weekly TCZ, (which I started Nov 21 and buy on private script as methotrexate was a nightmare for me)Rheumy says to get off pred completely before reducing TCZ.

hrt/menopause and lupus
I'm on low dose
prednisone
, hydroxychloroquine, arcoxia, cellcept etc and I also have a wound called pyoderma gangrenosum. Over the last 6 months or so. My menopause symptoms have become so bad that I'm seriously considering hrt.

Insufficiency Fracture - likely cause - Prednisilone
She recommend a knee replacement, but is concerned that the
prednisone
would interfere with the success of the replacement process and has referred me to both a knee surgeon and rheumatology. I wonder if anybody else has experienced this situation?

shingles
I was diagnosed with PMR 3 years ago and after a fairly bumpy ride I have now been off
Prednisone
for two and a half months. I have been called for a Shingles vaccination. I reacted badly to the Covid jabs each time. I have had Shingles twice!

Rheumatologist refuse to believe I have PMR.
I worked two long physical days at work without
prednisone
and it felt like hell. I am scheduled to work for the rest of the month. How will I get though, sigh........ I do not know if I have PMR, but I can say
prednisone
works where NSAIDS and Tylenol do not. Frustrated....

achille’s tendons anyone?
Usually, for me, upping
prednisone
has given relief within a short. Not now. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Azathioprine dose
Obviously when this all started I stopped taking the Azathioprine (so my immune system could fight) and doubled my
prednisone
dose from 10mg daily to 20mg. This is supposed to be a short term solution but has been going on for sometime now.

Down to 1.5mg prednisone now for about 5 days
IMO, it is bizarre, I had no finger or hand issues couple years ago, right before PMR I developed trigger finger but 3 months into
prednisone
use that stopped, but I am left with stiff middle fingers and cannot make a proper fist.

cataracts b.c. of long-term steroids
I've been on Trimbow 172.5 for 6 months and on 2 mg
prednisone
for 2.5 years; prior to that I was on Seretide for almost 20 years. Today I noticed a lot of new "dust particles" and "fibers" floating in front of the "image" in my eyes when looking at the sky.

Not PMR but RA
Insists the
prednisone
is not necessary and wants be to keep reducing by 2.5 mg a week from 17.5 where I am now. Started me slow on SSZ yesterday (500mg) and eventually will go to 3000 mg a day. Any thoughts?

GCA Update
hi wonderful, helpful people, My rheumatologist agreed yesterday to drop my
prednisone
dosage from 60 to 50 mg. I am hoping that will make a difference with my vision, which is still very poor.

travel dosage question
I am on 3.5 mg of
prednisone
then will be 3 mg hopefully. I am reducing .5 a mg per month., as have had two flare in the last 2 years. Should I take an extra dose partway through the trip to make sure I don’t create any problems with inflammation. Then go back to my 7 am usual dosage time.

PSA increase nearly one year after triplet therapy (mHSPC), what's next?
He unfortunately couldn't reach a <1 result but it had stabilized for a few months after his docetaxel + zytiga +
prednisone
. Unfortunately his new result is 67 PSA exactly a year since diagnosis.
