Rheumatology working up new disorder.
Despite my desire to accept my condition as is and without

normal blood results
My gp wasn’t convinced to start with but eventually started me on 15mg of
prednisone
and within a couple of days almost all pain and stiffness had disappeared.

Change in thyroid tests as I taper Prednisone

GCA or TMJ
No jaw issues during the night, and even now before taking the
prednisone
, it’s not difficult to chew. What to do? So grateful for this site and the great information from such experienced people. Thank you!

Sciatic Nerve and Prednisone
I'm posting for my 89 year old sister who has been on 10mg of
Prednisone
for at least 3 years for back pain. She is suffering now from sciatic pain which is causing her not to be able to sleep because of the pain.

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.

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

Relugolix/Orgovyx or Enzalutamide/Xtandi?
But, long story short, he has been on ADT vacation for 13 months following succesful treatment of metastatic disease with Triplet Therapy (six rounds of Docetaxel, Lupron, and first Abieraterone plus
Prednisone
and then he switched to Nubeqa).

Covid
I’m on 5 mg of
prednisone
and 15 mg methotrexate. Is there any advice about how to manage meds while having Covid. I feel very achy and it feels like I’m having a flare. Thanjs in advance for any advice.

PMR... back on 20mg
Saw my GP on Tuesday, we discussed the pain, stiffness and fatigue I was experiencing since tapering off
prednisone
late last year. She agreed I should start at 20mg day, after bloods for Crp and ESR. The results: Crp 3 and ESR 63.

6 MONTH PMR UPDATE
Since then, I have tapered 100% off of
prednisone
. My inflammation markers have normalized. I have been turned over to my primary care provider from Rheumatology. I have went back to work part-time without issue.

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.

ITP secondary to CLL TX hi-dx dexamethasome Response
This study: 'High-dose dexamethasone vs

for treatment of adult immune thrombocytopenia: a prospective multicenter randomized trial 2016' talks about response rates to this protocol. Has anyone had similar results to mine after the first round of dosing?

Asthma Flare Viral Infection Prednisolone
But after a 5 day course of 40 mg
Prednisone
my chests still tight and waking me from my sleep which is worrying me. I’ve never taken oral steroids before so not sure if this is an unusual occurrence for them not to work after 5 days or could something else be going on here?

stop prednisone with flu vaccine?
I was told not to take my
prednisone
and antiviral to receive flu vaccine. Has anyone heard of that? That it would be less potent. When do we recommence ? Thank you!

PMR type pain with normal blood labs
Should I just continue to reduce the
prednisone
and push through the pain? I'm also considering seeing an Endocronologist to get help with tapering, but I don't have fatigue (so maybe my adrenals are okay). Is this even warranted?
