His treatment consisted of 39 radiation sessions + 2 yrs of Lupron + Abiraterone/
Prednisone
. He’s extremely active, works out almost every day and we still mountain bike and hike all over our beautiful Colorado.

Is it PMR?
Came off
Prednisone
in October 2020. Saw Rheumatologist who did repeat bloods. At the time I was discharged my ESR was 26. Fast forward to 2023. Severe pain in base of skull and neck (right side only) affecting shoulder, shoulder blade and upper muscles in arm.

pmr tapering
I have been on
Prednisone
since Nov 2021. I have tapered to zero, but had to jump back to 3mg because of extreme pain. I have been on 3mg for at least i month and still very lethargic. I s this at all normal on such a low dose?

Prednisone and Blood Sugar Levels
I am wondering what other member’s experience has been with
prednisone
and increasing A1c levels? I had been very consistently in the normal range for long term blood sugar levels until I started the
prednisone
last August.

GCA flair?
I have had past problems with it before pmr, once I was on
prednisone
and wore hand braces it went away. My hands are stiff in the morning but all other body pain is gone. I really hate the thought of going up with my
prednisone
. My main concern is my head.. could this be a GCA flair?

Is it normal or a flare??
My question is if it is normal and acceptable to have some discomfort even while taking
Prednisone
, or if it is a reaction to reducing it or if this is considered a flare? Thanks!

STILL ON THE BED...MOSTLY..10TH WEEK
Of course, we heal less quickly, skin is thin, and all the good stuff that goes with
Prednisone
.
UPDATE
: Still no date for vertebral plasties. Still no date for cataracts, still no date for zolendronic infusion (they have not received a req from my Rheumy after a month).

Negative HLA-B27
Quick recap, Dr originally diagnosed me with PMR, put me on 30 mg
prednisone
14 weeks ago. After no great improvement he advised me to taper off so am now reducing 1mg every 3 days, currently at 16 mg.

Can pred cause dementia-like symptoms?
Is this
prednisone
or the disease? I do not think it is actual dementia. I am only 53, and when I am not working I can think clearly. It's more like an inability to cope with any kind of challenge. Can I or should I start another class of immune suppressants to reduce the amount of pred I take?

Switching from prednisone to dexamethasone with abiraterone
Over the 4+ years, I've tried
prednisone
at 5 and 10 mg/day in an effort to manage BP, minimize edema, and manage other SEs likely to be associated with
prednisone
.

Changing from prednisone to Midazolam
Told to double my use of qvar and continue the 40mg
prednisone
for 10 days then sent home. For the past approx 2 years I have had an exacerbation usually once a month. When my ventolin wont ease the breathing I normally start on a 5 day course of 40mg
prednisone
.

Suffering thru...
I wonder if my being on
prednisone
for nearly two years caused this. I still see a rheumatologist, which really was no help. I go to accupunctue for the pain in my upper arms, and recently back pain, which is believed to be sciatic, but I don't work or do any lifting.

Anxiety again?
I have gone from 4 mg of
prednisone
to 3.5 and am experiencing mild anxiety and depression. I was on 4 for a month. Am also getting monthly Actemra infusions and have been since last fall. I don’t know why my body/mind are reacting as they are.
