Low Carb From the Start!
I DO wish I had started eating low carb from the moment I took my first
Prednisone
tablet. I have gained SO much weight I am scared to weigh myself. I think my thinking was "I am going to gain weight anyway -may as well go for it!"

Driving agony
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with PMR and have started on Prednisolone. Whilst I have some symptoms of PMR (sore shoulders/hips I feel there is more going on. I can’t sit down or drive for more that 5mins before searing pain (which I think is sciatica) sets in down the back and sides of my thighs

Hormonal therapy and Meningioma brain tomors
Since meningiomas are hormonal sensitive I wonder if the years on Lupron and Zytiga with
prednisone
could of caused me to get this tumor. Are there others out there that have been diagnosed with a meningioma while on or after hormonal therapy?

I’m still here!
I started out on 20 mg
prednisone
. For the last year or so I have been down to 1 mg. My rheumatologist doesn’t seem concerned about that. I have since been diagnosed with herniated disc and degenerative disc. I am currently taking my 1 mg of
prednisone
, duloxetine, and 650 mg Tylenol.

Over Exercise?!!!
Hi. I have always valued all the contributions on this site since I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in October 2021; this is my first post. Last December I had a PET scan as my ESR and CRP had rocketed ( ESR 102 and ESR 72) and I was definitely in flare mode with increased stiffness and pain. I was put

Going to start prednisolone steroids 😳
Therefore, i am now going to try
prednisone
! Hopefully it will work for me then I will start the Adalimumab injections. It’s all very overwhelming and the side effects are scary but I just want to have peace of mind and more control. Any advice would be warmly welcomed.

Double vision episode
Just had one. First since November 2021. Then I was on high dose pred for GCA, coming down. Continued to taper quite successfully, eventually to zero in November 2022. But PMR followed, so went onto 15mg pred, tapering again quite successfully. Down to 5 mg since 6th February. Clearly no blood test

Low carb diets
On top of everything else I'm now pre-diabetic. I wasn't prior to starting the steroids but as I'm now on 2 mg of Prednisolone a day and have been on 5 mg or less for over a year I suspect that Prednisolone is not the culprit. I've been looking at a diabetic website and it says that low carb is less

Methotrexate Update
I was prescribed MTX a year ago, about 18months into my PMR journey, I reluctantly followed my Rheumatologist’s instructions and in October reported back to him with details of nausea, 3 days a week of pain, inertia and depression and a
prednisone
journey of 1mg reduction per month.
