Bleeding after salvage radiation
Currently about one year into Lupron + Abiraterone +
prednisone
. Recently experienced very mild rectal and/or blood in stool. Is this likely due to the radiation, or something else?

COVID symptoms Paxlovid prednisone how long until feeling better?
My asthma doctor was all over it and made sure I got my biologic (Tezspire) shot and antiviral medicine (Paxlovid) and upped my
prednisone
from 30 mg. to 60 mg. And, they prescribed cough med with codeine.

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
I've heard a short course of
prednisone
helps in preventing the development of TED. But by how much? Safety: my partner is severely immunocompromised. The leaflet says to keep away for 14 days after RAI treatment. But it also says stay away for 24 days if in close proximity with someone.

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?

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'.

Heart rhythm workup. Increase prednisone?
I have been tapering down to 7 1/2 from 7 3/4. Last week I had an episode a very fast pulse and extremely high blood pressure and went to the hospital. Of course the vital signs were perfect in the hospital the next day, my doctor had a special monitor applied. Called ZiO. The purpose is to catch any

Vacationing
I haven’t traveled since before the pandemic but that was also the last time I had to take
prednisone
. I also used to travel for two weeks so I had time for my asthma to calm down before returning on an airplane.

Why do my symptoms feel like Multiple Sclerosis when I taper?
I am now at 12 1/4 mg
Prednisone
today. At times during the day, when I can feel the inflammation inhabiting my body with extreme physical fatigue, extreme tingling extremities and inability to walk as usual. My legs move very slowly and my feet turn in and I am unstable.

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.

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
I was diagnosed with GCA in January 2023 and have been on
Prednisone
ever since, along with other meds that are given to mitigate the side effects of the Pred. I also started Methotrexate this January. My first attempt to taper off the Pred last year failed because I went too fast.

have you been treated for osteoporosis?
As predicted following several years on
prednisone
, my most recent DEXA shows that I now have osteoporosis. There appear to be a variety of treatment options - different meds and different administrations (oral, injection) - which I will discuss with my nephrologist.

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.

On prednisone with 100 degrees fever
Reduced from 22.5 to 20 mg 3 days ago. I started running a fever between 101.8 and 99.3. Wondering if any connection. Do I need to go to gp or Rheumatologist?
