gastro resistant pred and reduction
I have been on 1mg of gastro resistant
prednisone
for several months having reduced very slowly as advised. Not sure how to proceed now since I don’t think there are 0.5 mg of the enteric coated tablets available. I have started to omit one day a week with the intention of omitting more frequently.

Hypertension Stage 2, need advice.
I am seriously considering stopping the abiraterone and
prednisone
. It just does not seem worth the risk, especially as I had brothers who died at 51, and 63 of heart issues. My psa has been undetectable for going on 6 years.

Steroid induced diabetes
I was diagnosed with diabetes shortly after being put on
Prednisone
for PMR. It definitely changed my eating habits but I was able to control it with few carbs and more exercise. I was told that it might clear out as I taper off the steroids.

Full adrenal function at 3 mg?
This leads me to hypothesize that the "energy effect" of the 3 mg
prednisone
plus my natural cortisol is greater than 7 mg
prednisone
. However, I am curious if anyone has ever stumbled upon any information or research regarding the level of adrenal function while on a low dose of
prednisone
?

painful shoulders after dead slow taper to 2mg.
I’ve finally managed to get to 2.25mg
prednisone
on a slow taper taking a month for 0.25mg drop. I also take Leflonamide which was doubled to 20mg a month ago to deal with probable RA in my hands. (Pain and swelling. It has helped). I’m diabetic due to steroids.

Feeling rubbish again at 2.5mg prednisone
Hello, I’m hoping for advice again. I was diagnosed in March 2019 and have spent 5 years slowly tapering with a couple of flares. The last one was a few weeks ago at 2.25mg when I realised my arm and shoulder pain and tiredness was a flare. I went up to 7.5mg for a week and then resumed at 2.5mg.

GCA Ear pressure and stiff neck
There are no visual symptoms, but I’m thinking maybe increase my
prednisone
? I hate to yo-yo around with the dose, it is it worth a try?

Down to 2mg
Looking forward I hope my body can continue to adjust to zero
prednisone
by the end of July 2024. I have to suppress my strong urges to drop quicker now that I’m reaching the end.

For the past two days, I have new PMR pains.
I have never experienced this before while on
Prednisone
---Could it be a flare? Can I try raising my
prednisone
, to determine if that helps? What level would you suggest to try? Thank you again.

Just saw my first rheumatologist yesterday, very confused by diagnosis?
When I first started taking
prednisone
I got relief from 15 mg, but then every couple of days to a week the pain and stiffness would start to rapidly increase again and I kept having to ramp up the
prednisone
to try to counteract it.

Facial Numbness
I am wondering if this could be associated with GCA or a side effect of Actemra or
prednisone
?

Does this typically happen when not so much
prednisone
going into the body?

Rheumatologist Pred Taper Schedule
I was diagnosed with likely GCA this past April and am currently taking 40 mg
prednisone
and 15 mg weekly of methotrexate. My last blood work in May showed inflammation markers were within normal range.
