My GP recognizes that "of course my numbers are good - I'm on
prednisone
." Time to simply find another rheumy? What say you all?

PMR under control?
this is something I think I should have known already… Is my PMR under control with my
prednisone
dosage if every morning I am achy in my neck, shoulders, sides, and bum for at least an hour or two? II want to taper again but want to be sure I am good to do that.

RA with Sjorgrens
I was asked to wean off
prednisone
and ibuprofen for the ultrasound of my wrist yesterday, which I did. Uncertain of the results yet but need it to show some inflammation for my dear old insurance company.

Night Sweats and Tapering
Does anyone know what goes on in the body to cause night sweats while tapering down
Prednisone
? I'm not concerned, just curious to know what my body is thinking. I am going from 3.5 to 3 mg and last night woke up with my pajamas completely soaked.

Saw the Rheumatologist, went well, Metoprolol update, and I have trigger finger
He mentioned Methotrexate but use has to be on how I manage reducing
prednisone
first successfully or not. The Metoprolol I quit taking few weeks ago solved my knee pains and honestly the shoulder and hip pain has not returned.

Eye bleed and blurred vision
The Opthamologist doesn't believe in
prednisone
and wants me off of it because I've been on it since 2011. I am so afraid of losing my sight and don't know what to do. The first Optha-Nuerologist (I have had 2) I had said that I would likely be on 20 mg of
prednisone
for the rest of my life.

Interesting rheumatologist appointment
I have taken about 15 mg of
prednisone
most of that time. I have tried various dmards to try and decrease the pred. But nothing works. At this appointment I asked her if she has any patients that have gone into remission and remained there? She said no.

Intro
MORE scans, abiterone,
prednisone
, Lupron, worked down to .3. Then started back up. A month ago, 1.1, a week ago, 2.14, so more scans this month, results from Chicago on lab work on biopsy, figure out what to do.

missed the diagnosis?
Whenever I was given
prednisone
, I felt just great. Every time! Even when I had the horrible Chemo, they gave me steroids and I would feel great for a day or two. I had a neck flare a few months ago and the urgent care doc put me on a dose pack and then on 5 mg
prednisone
.

Restart on Prednisone in prep for Camino-Update
In the past two years I have spent as much time on
prednisone
as I have been off. The fact is, I feel the PMR symptoms when not on
prednisone
. At higher doses >5mg I feel the side effects. I am in a state "damn if you do, damn if you don't".

Questions and Advice Needed
My inflammatory markers were within normal range, which may explain why I had extreme stiffness, but little to no pain. 10mg. of
Prednisone
made me feel almost 100% back to normal overnight.

Contradicting themselves on the same site
You could expect a dose of
prednisone
to stay in your system for 16.5 to 22 hours. The elimination half life of
prednisone
is around 3 to 4 hours. This is the time it takes for your body to reduce the plasma levels by half.

Actemra problems.
However, he is ta king it because he has GCA and it was suggested it would help him get off some of the
prednisone
he is taking 25g when we started. He's down to 19g now but he seems to think that since he has been taking it his sight has got less slowly.

Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc?
She’s been able to taper to a pretty low dose of
prednisone
-but this last flare was bad. I’m wondering if any of you have tried the diabetic/weight loss drugs that are out now, and if they have had any effect on your PMR?

Stopped Tocilizumab, CRP rising, is it a GCA flare?
I started with
prednisone
, then Tocilizumab injections plus
prednisone
, then the injections alone for nearly 2 years. From January until April 2023 I took the injections every 28 days. The CRP remained at zero during this time.
