Failing ADT
Also- should I try switching from
Prednisone
to Dexamethasone ? I guess more radiation is an outside possibility but I think that train has already run as I am getting hip replacement surgery on Wednesday because the 2 previous times my hip was radiated caused necrosis (lack of blood flow).

Sleep History Question
I did not have insomnia until
Prednisone
induced it, but I often “burned the candle at both ends” so to speak, throughout my life. Besides a very unhealthy (abusive) 30-year marriage (now divorced, thank God!)

What comes after, what comes next?
Zytiga has given my dad an extra pep in his step (I think because of the
prednisone
.) However, I can see the cancer starting to come back. The urinary incontinence issues are slowly creeping back, he has had some back pain, and shoulder pain where there are significant mets.

never heard of GCA
I was started on 50mg
prednisone
and it wasn’t until day 3 that I learnt of GCA when dose was increased to 60mg The info I have been given is pretty minimal but Google helped me to find you and I am so grateful.

Reduce or Not Reduce Prednisone
I have had a very difficult time over the past two years to get below 1.5 mg. Using the dead slow method for the past year i have been able to drop from 3mg to 1.5mg. While still feeling very fatigued, I'm experiencing my leg muscles while sleeping, wanting to develop into a full blown cramp, but not

Constipation
I am on 40 mg or
prednisone
for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the
prednisone
or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days.

Tetanus booster while on prednisone?
Has anyone had the tetanus booster (I'm due for a 10-year one) while on
prednisone
? Am I correct in understanding that we should not have "live" vaccines? And I can't find any information that mentions if it's live or not. Thank you so much for any insights!

My brother has advanced Prostate Cancer
After some genetic tests and so many scans, his M.O. decided to start Abiraterone and
Prednisone
for him 2 month ago. After 1 month his PSA increased but M.O. told him we should wait at least 3 months to make sure. Now 2 months passed and his PSA increased again from 39 to 46.

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.

Routine is a good thing?
Each day I wake up and without thinking, reach to my nightstand and take four Zytiga, a 5 mg
prednisone
and my blood pressure medicine. Today was a day like every other day except that I do not consciously remember taking my medicine.” Oh Man!! . The dog just farted.

Use of CDB 10 mg pills
I am currently on 12 mg
prednisone
and 20 mg methotrexate a week for PsA and maybe PMR. I have heard that taking CDB can help with relaxing, sleeping and general feeling down due to the way this illness makes you feel. Is this safe?

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.
