Am I getting better?
I have recently been put on MTX 17.5, 8 weeks ago. 3 weeks ago I had a stiff neck flare and got a steroid shot, 6 day dose pak, and was put on
prednisone
5 mg daily to ward off flares. The neck pain resolved quickly.

1mg Enteric Coated Prednisolone tablets
Does anybody get Enteric coated Pred in 1mg tablets prescribed?...My doctor just prescribed them to be gentler on my stomach and sent the prescription to the chemist and he said he's never known them in a 1mg tablet and he doubts they even do them ..he's given me the prescription to try somewhere else

Should I care Pred?
As a PMR sufferer, I’m wondering if it is a good idea to carry, say, 20mg of Prednisolone when out and about. I understand that a sudden flare or, worse, development of GCA symptoms, would make this a prudent course of action. Thx

Where should I go from here? Reduced by doc from 6 Pred to 2 and now suffering
Having been told by 3 doctors to try to get off Prednisolone so I could be assessed by specialist at hospital (as no doctor felt able to confirm I really had PMR although on steroids for 2 years!) I reduced from 6 to 2 Pred in 8 weeks. Result: much itching when reducing down from 4 to 3 and now, at 2

Blood Tests
Hi, I have weird asthma, am on maximum therapy and wondered what effect high dose antihistamines and prednisolone have on your blood test results. Every time I ask my consultant I'm told it's irrelevant, also is our medication taken into account when we complete breathing tests? The technician who

Lanzaprozole and magnesium deficiency
Hi all, I was diagnosed with GCA in 2018. With the help and support of this group I came through some tough times, and will always be grateful for that. After a very gradual taper, I have now completed 13 months without prednisolone, and, fingers crossed, the GCA is still quiet. I am still having sub-cutaneous

Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working

Questions on PMR & GCA
Did these results drop back to normal marker range with
prednisone
or other meds? Y/N 7. With GCA, how many have eye problems or permanent or partial sight loss? 8. How was GCA diagnosed, (headache, temporal artery pain, sight loss.) 9.

Nasty fall and Lupus
hi all, I haven’t been writing on here for some time. On 6/7/23 I fell out of my disability stair lift from the top of our steep stairs at home! I flipped over, landed on my back and fell down the stairs and landed on the hallway floor on my head. I knocked myself out, fractured my skull, had a brain

To walk or not to walk?
I've recently been diagnosed with PMR and started on 15mg of Prednisolone which has now been reduced to 12mg. The meds are defiitely working but the stiffness has come back over the last few days. Do people 'work through it' and move and exercise or rest? I've tried both, and the pain and stiffness seem

Split Prednisone or one dose daily?
Many with PMR seem to have extreme fatigue when tapering
prednisone
. I’m curious if anyone who was splitting their daily dose went to once per day in an attempt to help with fatigue caused by adrenals struggling. Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.
