Itching due to medication??
Hello, I had a liver transplant 3 years ago and take tacrolimus, mycophenolate and
prednisone
for anti rejection. I have recently had a very itchy localised rash on my neck which I have been treating with hydrocortisone cream. This is having no effect.

How I reinvented my life after GCA.
I’m only on Actemra which helped give me my life back but if I had to back on
prednisone
I would. I at least know a little more to expect. Good luck to all of you and keep going. It will be ok.

Starting Hydroxychloroquine advice….
I’ve recently finished some
prednisone
for a chest infection and they help so much with everything my questions are - what should I expect when I start taking it and is there anything else I should be asking for and will it help the same like the
prednisone
? Thanks 🙏🏻

Dr says RA not PMR
I have been on
prednisone
since April when first told I have PMR. Started at 30 and reduced 2.5 mg every 2-3 weeks. My Rheumatologist told me it is RA a few weeks ago and to get off
prednisone
asap. Have reduced from 20 mg to 17.5 mg after 1 week and then to 15 mg again after 1 week.

COVID and prednisone
Hi everyone, There's a summer COVID surge happening here in the US. I'm just wondering if there is anything I should know about COVID and pred. If I get COVID, does that affect how much pred I should take? If I am in a flare (I am actually in a mild flare right now) and I get COVID, then what do I

My son’s PSA rose a bit today.
His Mayo doctor told him to continue to test every three months, stay on current meds Lupron, Abiraterone/
prednisone
for another year and two months then stop meds and wait and see with lifetime testing. He had an RP last October 24 2022 for what we thought was contained prostate cancer .

Does higher elevations enhance PMR symptoms?
On
prednisone
(5mg) I feel 5/10 lower extremity discomfort. Without predinisone I would rated it around 8/10. Always in the lower extremities.

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.

one step forward……..
But the irony for me was when she asked how many mgs of
prednisone
. I am currently on and I expected at least a tuttut at my admitting to 4mg but she actually said that level can only assist with pain level from my shoulder! So unusual to get some empathy.

Odd thyroid test results
I recently took one more step down to 3mg
Prednisone
after being on it for over 3 years and a very long tapering process with a couple of flares to slow things down. But my question is about my Thyroid test yesterday. I am on Levothyroxine and supplemented with 5mcg of T3.

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?

Unusual Sleep Cycle and Pred Timing
So I take my
prednisone
usually around 10 or even 11 a.m. Does this schedule make the
prednisone
less effective? I also am scheduled for adrenal gland, thyroid tests etc., which are supposed to be scheduled for first thing in the morning (again, the cortisol cycle if I understand correctly).

Alendronic acid
I am on 4 and a half mg of
prednisone
and biweekly Actemra. No pain. Feel great. I eat calcium laden foods and take daily supplements. Any opinions as I feel guilty?!!

OK! I'm starting to prednisone taper again...
I'm really hopeful that this may be my Swan Song on
prednisone
but if not I'm perfectly happy swallowing a few tablets a day. I should get better organized shortly, but have three therapy appointments per week.
