Another Cialis Question
After some ups and downs with his liver values, he is currently taking Orgovyx, Abiraterone, and
Prednisone
. PSA and T are undetectable, and he is doing as well as can be expected. Now, my husband is in “cruise control” mode (his MO’s words).

Psa doubling time
He is on a 6 month Eligard injection and zytiga +
prednisone
. He had a psma pet scan last month which showed a spot outside his lung. Pelvic metastasis that were there on a previous CT scan shrunk by over 50%. He has a CT scan scheduled on Memorial Day for the spot outside his lung.

Adventures in decreasing prednisone
I have been decreasing pred using very slow method for about 6 months, after being on pred for 6&1/2 years at approximately 15 mg daily. Everything was going wonderfully. First time ever I had been able to reach 7 & 1/2 mg daily. Other than being a little more tired I felt good. Then one morning I

I feel I need a wheelchair. Am I missing something?
The thing is, if this isn't inflammation pain, but rather
prednisone
-induced myalgia, then it might mean I am way too high on my
prednisone
. But if it *is* inflammation pain, then maybe I'm too *low* on the
prednisone
. In the beginning, when they put me on 40mg, all my pain was gone.

Further COVID boosters
Currently I am taking myself down to 5.5mgs of
prednisone
so would anticipate being at 4/4.5mgs at the sped I have been going, which is ridiculously slowly (had to increase when I caught COVID to deal with the slight flare I got) Any thoughts?

Recurring Pneumonia from Breast Cancer radiation treatment
In fall of 2022 I was diagnosed with recurring pneumonia and treated with antibiotics (bactrim) and steroids-
prednisone
. At the same time I was taken off of tomoxifen.

Thank you all!
Today I met with my new doctor who told me I’ve been on
prednisone
too long (2 1/2 years) and I need to get off it soon. When I asked her how long people usually get off pred with PMR she answered two years. I now am making appointment tomorrow with a different doctor! I again am taking control!

Go to the Emergency room to get prednisone?
But what if the doctor somehow never gives me a refill of
prednisone
, I have been on it almost 3 weeks now. Could I go to the ER and explain I must have some
prednisone
, and take my referral papers with me? The hospital ER is the same Riverside health system as the PCP.

Flare confirmed with PET scan
When I go with the new prescription should I ask for
prednisone
or prednisolone? I thought prednisolone might be better for my liver but is there any difference in the strength or problems with withdrawal between the two?

Pluvicto Supply
My husband stopped
Prednisone
& Jevtana February 5th in anticipation of 1st dose of Pluvicto. U of Michigan Oncology says he had a "remarkable" response to Jevtana and waiting without any treatment is okay.

Prednisone blood concentration and exercise
Does exercise have any effect on the
prednisone
concentration in one's body? For example, if I took my morning dose of
prednisone
then later walked at a fast pace for over an hour, would that exercise increase the rate the
prednisone
or its derivative prednisolone is eliminated from my body?

Back again
I had only been off of
Prednisone
for 8 months. My inflammation markers are rising even though I went back on 40 mg
Prednisone
. Next week I will start Actemra. Just curious, did anyone else have a re-occurrence of GCA and PMR? How did it go? Thanks for your feedback.
