Giving up work before retirement.
I have been asked to share my story to a new post as it might be useful for other people in this situation to read. I had to give up my business in 2016 because of my health. I was only 54 at the time. I had been struggling for a while and was on 30mg of Prednisolone at the time along with a cocktail

Oops! With the Prednisone
On March 28, when I gave the pillboxes to Janice, I wrote a note that said, "Add 2.5 mg
prednisone
and Gabapentin AM and PM." Three nights ago, when I flipped my night-time meds out, a half-pill dropped on the vanity. ??

Staying on prednisolone
Hi All, Would just like to know if being on a low dose of prednisolone forever is something that anyone out there is doing? I was on pred for 9 years and was slowly weaned off it, finishing in July 2023. To be honest I have had so much muscle and joint pain since coming off pred it would be a relief

Broncholidator Reversibility Test
Hi, I posted a few days ago about my team wanting to do a broncholidator reversibility test and FeNO before they put me forward for biologics. I wasn't going to do the test, then decided to do it, incase it did show reversibility to save time waiting for a referral to Wynthenshawe as my current hospital

Oral Thrush that does not go away
I am at a low dose
prednisone
of 3 mg. Have taken all sugar out of my diet. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I begin taking methotrexate which my rheumatologist has suggested but respects my decision to stay on hydroxy. Maybe take it every other day? Any advice is welcome. MrsMarigold

Advice required
Hello, This is my first post but i have been an avid reader every day and have learned so much. I was diagnosed having PMR in September 2023 by my GP who recommended I take 15 mg of Prednisolone daily to see if his diagnosis was correct. To my surprise and amazement, I became pain free which was a miracle

hydrocortisone or prednisone?
I am considering switching back to
prednisone
to continue my tapering. Hydrocortisone seems to upset my stomach more and needs to be taken twice a day. I also feel like I feel more pressure in my temple areas that I did not feel when taking
prednisone
.

Strange nightime happenings
This only happened a couple of times when I was particularly stressed and since I stopped Prednisolone completely three months ago. I found I could not settle at night (or I woke up after a short sleep) and I felt like I could not breathe or get comfortable. I was only able to go to sleep when I propped

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal cortisol test and my serum cortisol level is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct. I have found the following

Zytiga - Lupron
There is some belief that the compression fractures and the prostate cancer treatment (
prednisone
0r severely reduced testosterone from the treatment) may have caused the osteoporosis,. Damnedif you do and damned if you don't.

Update: Arrived at 4.5 mg & staying for awhile!
I started taking 40 mg of
Prednisone
in late May 2021, so I've been taking
Prednisone
for 23 months so far. I started having symptoms in early January 2021. I feel lucky to be at this stage after 2 years, although, like many on here, I was told by a GP that it would go into remission in one year!

F4: cirrhosis
I was first told that I had Autoimmune Hepatitis after my Fibro scan results and that I needed to start treatment with Imuran and
prednisone
. GI dr said that if treatment didn't work I would be put on a liver transplant list. She then said. "I'm sorry".

Side effects
I do 5 mg of
prednisone
1000 mg of abiraterone and Lupron every 4 months.
Prednisone
has been very tough on me, I've gained 29 pounds weight in two months, the muscle cramps and feet twitching are unbearable. My PSA has come down from 24 in January to 0.84 last Monday.
