Prednisone side effects
I am also on a second 5mg dose of
Prednisone
daily, for a total of 10mg. If I don't take the second dose, my blood pressure is not well controlled. (I've tried to reduce without luck) I thought
Prednisone
raised BP, but in my case I need it for control.

Trouble Tapering
My doctor started me on 40 mg
prednisone
. I think the higher dose was because I was in severe pain. It didn't take too long before I tapered to 20 mg. I then got down to 15 mg but had to go back up to 20 mg where I was stuck for a while. By this past February I had tapered to 16 mg.

Let’s see? Bowel perforation and GCA Flare ?
After 49 months and getting to 1 mg of
prednisone
, my neurologist and rheumatologist admitted me to the hospital for pulse treatment of 500mg of methylprednisolone for three days, and I was discharged on 60 mg of pred tablets, which I am still taking.

Actemra
I was on
prednisone
and methotrexate for over a year, but then I changed rheumatologists my new one recommended at Actemra actpen. I give myself a dose once every 3 weeks and it has been a great alternative to
prednisone
. My ESR and CRP numbers are always low.

Recovery
I have a friend that has PMR and uses recovery in conjunction with
prednisone
. He says it’s helping him reduce his
prednisone
and is thinking of continuing with it when he gets off
prednisone
. I am presently reducing my
prednisone
.25 mg a month and am currently on 2 mg.

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

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....

Possible GCA?
Also, I’ve had PMR for just over a year, currently 8 mg.
prednisone
. (Starting dose 10, and I’ve been up and down in dosage as I have tried to taper,.) My inflammation markers have never been out of range, until about 2 weeks ago when my CPR was 2.3.

increasing pred for flares...what next?
I've been moving along on 2mg
prednisone
for the past two months . I had a few health issues in addition to grieving the loss of my spouse . All this gradually increased my inflammation until i was in pain and stiff. I added 5mg extra to the 2mg for the past 5 days. I'm feeling a bit better.

Wife wants to know if leftover prednisone can be used for general pain like taking an OTC pain pill, aspiring ibuprofen etc..
Simply short term like a couple of days. IT does seem to be a powerful drug though, but what about very short term use?
