Another auto immune condition: Lichen sclerosus
I was diagnosed with PMR in April 2019, and with a few flares I'm now on 4.5mg
prednisone
. Lichen sclerosus is an unpleasant condition, mostly post-menopausal women, no known cure, just topical steroids which 'may help with symptoms'.

Update on pain symptoms
Just an update, at 9 this morning I upped my dose of pred from 9.5 to 15 mg
prednisone
, 8 hours later the relief of painful symptoms is incredible, not completely gone,but sooo much better. I hardly had any sleep last night, just ached all over all night.

GCA relapse?
Went to rheum and she put me back on
prednisone
20mg to taper weekly 2.5mg. I haven’t started it yet. I’m already on methotrexate and Abatacept. I guess I am worried about effects of long term steroids vs GCA. Does anyone else worry about this? does it sound like a relapse?

WOW, noticing today, after some weak days at 5mg prednisone, I am again feeling good and energetic, added meth and hydroxy dropped metformin
I used to be able to take less insulin, but the
prednisone
made my insulin usage go up by about 50%. And now with less
prednisone
, and no metformin, same amount of insulin is working better to hold down my glucose levels. My hands were seriously painful and swollen, now they are also better.

ADT and Tendon Pain
Now in my 3rd year of ADT (Eligard), which has also included 2 years of Abi +
Prednisone
. I had issues with my tendons for years before my PC, but the problem has worsened steadily with the PC drugs. I now have tendonitis in both feet, both achilles, a hip, wrist, elbow and shoulder.

Silly Questions??
2) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients have NO Chemo, and go directly to ADT + Abiraterone+
Prednisone
, while others begin treatment with chemo and radiation? What are the deciding criteria ??

Been doing great lately, reduced again from 10 to 7.5mg prednisone. My crp is under 10 from 103
Other great thing is I am now taking too much insulin and today had a very low gucose experience due to the lower
prednisone
levels in my system. Which honestly is good news as I can cut back on insulin use. I hope to be able to keep reducing
prednisone
over the next 2 months.

35mg Pred after a year of GCA,PMR
I'm on Actemra and
prednisone
. I was reducing and got down to 12.5mg three months ago. But the symptoms came roaring back and I kept having to increase the dose. I've been on 35mg for one month. I tried to reduce by 2.5mg but the unbearable headache came back.

Total mess
I do not take urso or
prednisone
prednisone
makes me manic and Urso makes me completely nauseous so I've been taking the 6MP drug since 2017 and it's kept me really balanced so that's my story.

I am scared of what I think I have to do.
I think my body is no longer producing enough cortisol to handle the level of stress that my work brings on, and in order to get off the
prednisone
I need to retire.

accidently took only one 1mg pill prednisone yesterday am, felt good all day
This am made sure I took 3mg. I am thinking of trying to alternate at 2 and 3 mg daily now in a few days. I am a tiny bit stiffer feeling this am than usual. I have also mostly stopped the Ibuprofen and substituting 3 aspirins. Think since it thins the blood might help with hand circulation.

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.

Prednisone
So, last night I took 40mg of
prednisone
with dinner. Slept all night (with a couple of potty breaks) and had NO rls. First time in months. Going to try 30 mgs of
prednisone
tonight. Has anyone else experienced this with
prednisone
?
