Prednisolone/palpitations
I'm currently taking 30mg a day of Pred for a chest infection. The palpitations started yesterday after my first dose.Has anyone experienced palpitations with this dosage? Not sure whether to skip tomorrow's dose and try to speak to a doctor on Monday. Thanks for reading.

steroids and knee replacement
my brother has pmr and is currently on 5 mg Prednisolone. He needs 2 knee replacements but doc says he can’t have the op because he is on steroids. Has anyone else experienced this?

Relapse vs flare
Two years ago I reached remission with rituximab
prednisone
and now on azathioprine. I've been feeling not quite right for a little and have bloods done every 4 weeks to keep an eye on me.

is a return of arm shoulder pain on one side unusual.
The initial euphoria after three days of 15mgm prednisolone when the pain in both upper arms and thighs was relieved, I have found over the last week or so that the pain has gradually returned in my upper left arm. As a newbie I’m not sure if this one sided response is normal. It is the same pain as

Nasty bugs/flu after prednisolone?
Hi everyone I did another cycle in January and they had me on 20mg of prednisolone... Just wondered if it's common to get a nasty bug/infection afterwards which you can't get rid of? I've had stomach flu for over a week and it's awful (passed to me from my son's nursery - he had it first)... I asked

Alendronic Acid and Methotrexate
I've had PMR for about two years. All symptoms vanished completely as soon as I was put on Prednisolone (15mg per day), but I had a bad experience with trying to reduce, as advised by both GPs and my rheumatologist, by large cliff-edge steps--from 15mg to 12.5mg, then 10mg, all in a very few weeks.

weight gain after stopping prednisone?
I’m keen to stay off
prednisone
as the emotional roller coaster makes day to day life difficult. How long will these symptoms last? Has anyone heard of weight gain after

?

Help with timing of split Prednisolone dose
Hi, I have found this site amazingly helpful, thank you. I have a specific enquiry regarding the best time to take my split dose. When my rheumy advised splitting as I was getting pain from 3-4 am till about 10am on a single dose, he didn’t specify a time and I just assumed I should space them evenly

Prednisone - Halfing the pills
Someone posted earlier how they halved the
prednisone
and took them twice daily. Recommendations on the best time to take the two halved
prednisone
pills. We are trying this as an experiment to see if it makes any difference. Thanks all!!!

Further update on breast/nipple pain! And tapering!
Hello everyone. So much relieved that following mammogram - no abnormalities found apart from dense breast tissue - which is unsurprising following historic mammoplasty. I still have the discomfort near my right nipple - maybe a little less - which the examining Dr could not explain. But interestingly

Lifetime
Wonder if there are any on here who believe they will spend a lifetime on Prednisolone. Been on it for 16 years and am now on 2mg;1mg on alternate days. Never seems to alter each tome I see my GP or Rheumy. Just wonder if I should accept it.

Is this the dreaded return?
Hi all, long time no speak, though I do read and keep in touch regularly. A bit of my back story…. Diagnosed in Dec 2018 with PMR then January 2019 GCA. CRP at diagnosis was 157 and ESR 118. It was a rollercoaster to say the least and for the support from all the fantastic knowledgeable people in this

is it back again?
I’ve been off prednisolone for almost a year now and I’m really, really stiff in the mornings and I literally hobble out of bed. During the night I wake several times with throbbing pain deep in my leg muscles and also sometimes in my arms. I feel as if it sometimes spirals round my groin and legs so
