Symptoms of PMR?
I’m trying to recall the symptoms of the PMR, but nothing specific comes to mind, other than the fact that I felt better being on the
prednisone
. I am trying to determine what doctor to see for this hip pain.

Fostair 100/6
Hi there, I’ve (24M) been on fostair as a preventer inhaler since around the age of 17/18. My asthma has been extremely well controlled on 2 puffs BD for a number of years. However a few weeks ago I have quite a bad flare up which landed me in A&E twice and had a 2 week course of prednisolone. Since

Would dose timing help this?
My main problem is getting off the
prednisone
without going crazy. I am now tapering from 8 1/2 to 8. I take this at 5:30 on arising. Once I-reached 5 days on the lower dose I feel terrible on awakening. I call this feeling “adrenal”. By noon I feel well and can do normal stuff.

Actemra and low WBC(1.9) and low Immunoglobulin levels. Asking for your thoughts.
Currently down to 3.5 mg
prednisone
, and thought would see how slow taper goes without Actemra. Anyone out there have anything similar happen to them?

Advice Please, I am in a terrible state.
I am a mess. I was tapering my prednisolone from 3mg to 2.5 mg using a reduction over 14 weeks, starting 19th September and was progressing nicely. In November we travelled long haul UK to USA, journey no hassle, flights good. But, I did experienced emotional stress caused by a family upset while

pain relief for sciatica
I've trapped the sciatic nerve in my left hip. I have exercises which help, but still need pain relief. Paracetamol has no effect, is it safe to take ibuprofen with prednisolone? I thought I had read somewhere that it wasn't.

I doubled my
prednisone
to 6 mg yesterday but nothing seems to help. I have been taking Tylenol every 8 hours. My recent blood tests Sed rate and CRP were excellent.

Rituximab Reaction
Unfortunately I react really severely to
prednisone
in the long term and azathioprine too. I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all today and a bit anxious about how they'll now treat my IgG4 disease. Sorry for the waffly message. I just needed to get it out.

Prednisolone Brand Differences
My first post on my PMR journey.This forum has an unbelievable depth of knowledge which has helped me understand the condition and the road forward so thank you everyone for sharing your advice. Just 3 weeks in on 15mg and going OK. But suddenly a backward step in discomfort which coincided with a change

Doctors with borders
The response was they don’t treat long term
prednisone
usage for treatment of Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I am so frustrated.

Another anniversary
I still wake up every morning and take my Zytiga and my
prednisone
. I still go to my tri annual oncology appointment to receive my Eligguard and I still wait for those PSA test results to pop up in my electronic chart but other than that I just don't think about it much at all. .

Can’t reduce below 5mg
hello I’ve just joined this group in the hope that I can get some advice or at least some understanding of my situation! I was diagnosed with PMR nearly 2 years ago when I was 58.

Major GCA Headache with 1/2mg taper
I'm on TCZ (Actemra) and
Prednisone
. I've been tapering from 55mg August 2022 to 9mg currently. I was trying to go down 1mg per month, but when tapering just a half mg from 9 to 8.5mg, I got horrible unbearable headaches. Is it possible that I have to stay at 9mg longterm with GCA and PMR?
