Hello, This is my first post but i have been an avid reader every day and have learned so much. I was diagnosed having PMR in September 2023 by my GP who recommended I take 15 mg of Prednisolone daily to see if his diagnosis was correct. To my surprise and amazement, I became pain free which was a miracle

Nubeqa vs Abiraterone for post Docetaxel maintenance?
My challenges with side effects included eliminating Tylenol and reducing ABI for one cycle; and then, switching from 1000mg ABI on empty stomach to 250mg ABI+ 10mg
Prednisone
with low fat breakfast. The end result was PSA dropped to .55 and liver enzymes returned to normal range.

Strange nightime happenings
This only happened a couple of times when I was particularly stressed and since I stopped Prednisolone completely three months ago. I found I could not settle at night (or I woke up after a short sleep) and I felt like I could not breathe or get comfortable. I was only able to go to sleep when I propped

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal cortisol test and my serum cortisol level is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct. I have found the following

Temporal artery biopsy
Biopsy did not show positive result but I am told to continue tapering the prednisolone. How common is this?

reducing Prednisolone
I have had PMR for eight years and for the last five, I have been on 3 mg of prednisolone. My GP was concerned that I had been on Pred for so long. My blood sugar is normal as is my DEXA scan, although it does show slight deterioration in my spine. However, it’s within the normal range. First rheumatologist

Collagen Supplements and Prednisolone
Someone has recommended Collagen supplements to help treat tennis elbow. Does anyone know if it’s safe to take with Pred (currently on 0.75mg)?

pain with slow taper
I’ve been on prednisolone since early July and have tapered down to 13.5 from 20. I had to go back up to 15 for a couple of weeks after getting Covid, but am back to 13.5. I’m achy in my shoulders and arms but nowhere near the pain I was in before preds, so is this normal and will it pass after a few

Why does my rheumatologist want me to go onto Methotrexate when I am on a low does of Prednisolone and am getting good symptom relief?
I am now down to 2mg of Prednisolone a day. From a few weeks in my rheumatologist has wanted me to go onto Methotrexate. I have never achieved total symptom relief and recently I've probably been slightly stiffer than before, certainly in the mornings. My last blood tests showed that my CRP had gone

To Tangocharlie. I would just like to say that my first appointment was a telephone appointment, my GP immediately from the symptoms diagnosed PMR, she prescribed Prednisolone (20mgs) initially, I went overnight from being unable to move to virtually back to normal. The most helpful part of the consultation

Chilblain Lupus?
Hi All, Well, after being well for a good period of time it all came to a grinding and painful halt. I have what seems to be Chilblain Lupus. Has anyone else had this or similar? I've attached pictures below to show what it looks like. My apologies in advance as it all looks absolutely horrible

Puzzled by a past asthma attack experience
Around about 2019 I was staying at Harewood near Leeds visiting my parents. I was with a friend and when we were there we enjoyed exploring the Harewood Estate. Tucked away in the woods there, there is the original Harewood Castle which looks like a freestanding keep and is quite awe inspiring. To access

what next?
I was diagnosed with PMR five years ago and my gp kept me on Prednisolone for two years which resulted in a catalogue of side effects including glaucoma and cataracts. My diagnosis was confirmed as RA shortly after. I have been taking methotrexate successfully since. However my condition has worsened
