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.

Tapered to 2 mg
Does this typically happen when not so much
prednisone
going into the body?

Continuing Story of CLL Journey
My Oncologist first told me that I would not get the same treatment this time, but then after finding the AIHA, put me on 60 mg of
Prednisone
for three weeks and said that next would be Rituxan infusion based on how I did with the
Prednisone
. He first was going to give me Venetoclax.

Prednisone and Muscles
Would it be due to the
Prednisone
? Is there anything I can attempt to try personally to help reverse it?

Pain in neck, shoulders and arms
At one point well over a year ago, I upped my
Prednisone
from 10 mg to 20 mg on my doctor’s advice. It helped a little but not enough. I might have been wrong but I did not want to take any more
Prednisone
than the 20.

Actemra and Extremely Fast Taper off of Prednisone
It seems that her thoughts are that Actemra be used in lieu of
Prednisone
not in conjunction with, and from what I've read Actemra is a steroid reducing drug (at least at first) that will allow for a gradual but quicker taper off of
Prednisone
until such time that one would only be using Actemra.
