Adrenals or that dripping tap?
I have not had a return of PMR/LVV type pain, but it feels as though every little thing that may have been masked by pred for the last 4+ years has come to the surface, as though my aging has been hidden under the comfort blanket of
prednisone
, which has now been lifted.

Prednisolone.. ventolin with symbicort.

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

Reaching the end of treatment, suggestions beyond Docetaxel and Carboplatin.
I read once that the steroid to use with chemo could be Dexamethasone 1 mg rather than
prednisone
5 mg. Is there a clinical reason why? What next?

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. I’ve been on Prednisolone ever since, starting on 20mg which resulted in the usual miraculous sense of relief, and have managed

Nocturnal asthma
Hi, I hope everyone is well. I'm not too sure if there's any point in me posting this but maybe more of a way to vent. Since turning 29-30, I've spent the last 7 years struggling with nocturnal asthma and flare ups that usually get their worst in July -august and grass pollen season. Also causing some

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
Morning, i joined this group a few months ago and find it so useful even though I don't have pmr. I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement

PMR and Pfizer Covid Vaccine
Within 5 days of my husband and I receiving the first Pfizer Covid jab, he started getting pains in his legs and shoulders. He took paracetamol & used Bio Freeze, similar to deep heat. He got progressively worse, a GP diagnosed Frozen Shoulder over the phone, prescribed Co-Codamol & Naproxen. Within

Eyesight improvement on Prednisolone
Hi there, my first post. So I thought my eyesight was going a little blurry and went for a test last week. It turns out that my mid range sight is actuality a lot better than it was 2 yrs ago. Down to +0.5 from +1.5. The optician said it was due to the steroids and can sometimes happen. I have to go

Stopped pred recently and not so bushy tailed.
Hi, I am fortunate to have stopped taking Prednisolone nearly 3 weeks ago. I feel a bit more tired this week and generally a bit stiff in my muscles - however weekly yoga seems to help with the muscles. Also I have continued to have sore muscles in my chest and slight pins and needles feeling in

Have I got RA ?
Hi I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR for 18 months and now on 5mg each morning under the care of a Rhuematologist . I have had Osteoarthritis for a good few years mainly in my finger joints . My Dr is now questioning if I have RA because my middle finger on the right hand is markedly more swollen

Dexa results
I have just received my dexa results after a year on Prednisolone and Risedronate. Lumber spine is normal, but left hip and left neck of femur ( they only scanned the left) show Osteopenia. I understand what T scores and Z scores are, but I got three figures for each site, and I wondered if anyone knows

State of the NHS
I’m posting this just to highlight the difficulties the NHS is in at the moment, I’m a 75 year old asthmaric and have had a cold and chesty cough for nearly 3 weeks. I finally decided this wasn’t going to clear up by itself. There was no way I was going to get an appointment with my GP any time soon.

His view was great that the
prednisone
had a sharp positive effect but now he wasn’t dead sure of what was occurring in regards to whether this was in fact PMR.
