New affliction with PMR/GCA
So after 8 or so months on
prednisone
(started at 60 mg) for PMR and GCA, along with 10weeks of Actemra, I am down to 25 mg pred. Noticed a new problem for the last couple weeks....pain and cramping in the hands with fingers locking up. Has anyone else experienced this? And how can it be treated?

Allergy to prednisolone?
Hi everyone I have severe asthma and was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency in 2020 after taking lots of Pred when Covid triggered my asthma. I was just left on 5mg Pred for two years with no endocrinology involvement. I was eventually transferred to an endocrinologist who tried me on hydrocortisone

Xgeva with zytiga, orgovyx and prednisone
Newbie to the group...curious for your experiences with Xgeva. I started it right away along with the other meds when my treatment began about 12 months ago. Some Xgeva side effects have me very concerned, such as potential for ONJ, broken femur, and then potential for multiple vertebrae fractures

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
I will start treatment next week with Eligard and abiraterone+
prednisone
. Should I also start chemotherapy with docetaxel? And/or should I also start RT for the prostate and the 4 spots in the bones? Would proton therapy be advisable? I will be very grateful for any input.

Migraine and prednisolone
Does anyone else suffer with migraines while taking prednisolone which I take for PMR (7.5 mg at present)? I started having migraine with aura several months ago and they seem to be getting more frequent. There's no pain, just this unpleasant visual disturbance. I've had my eyes tested and they're fine

Benefits of knowing your illness/condition/disease to help others as well as yourself
It’s about time I posted that a couple of months ago my husband was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the diagnosis having had PMR, GCA/LVV myself over the past 5 and a half years and haven’t, until now, felt ready to share his story on the forum.

Major Health Anxiety Post CVST
(I just recently spoke to a naturopathic doctor who has a feeling that the reason behind the clot/seizure is a high dose of
Prednisone
and high estrogen levels. both are apparently linked to blood clots.) All of these health issues literally came out of nowhere.

Flare after covid
I’ve had a fairly mild dose of covid, and lots of stress with a leaking roof, which has caused a flare. I’ve been on prednisolone since early July after waiting six months for a diagnosis. I started on 20mg and had reduced to 12.5 without much pain but that has returned. I’ve taken 15mg for two days

Advice regarding recent flare up please.
Hi, l have been tapering down my Pred and had reached 7mg. I can’t say l was pain free, but it wasn’t too bad. I have been under a lot of pressure from my Rheumatologist to taper off as quickly as possible. I had been dropping 1mg per month. In the last week my symptoms have worsened and l am in no

Bleed during TWW
Hi All, I seem to bleed during the TWW, first four ivf rounds I was on either utrogestan or cyclogest pessary only and I bled day 8/9 of the TWW. Then the last two rounds I have been on one lubion and cyclogest pessary and the bleed would start on day 10/11. I have asked for prontogest for my 6th ivf

Anyone else on Pred. plus Sulfasalazine?
I've noticed that others are also on Methotrexate or Leflunomide along with their daily dose of
prednisone
. My dr. tried both of those at various times but I had unwelcome side effects from each.

Zolendronic Acid Infusions
I know this treatment is for osteoporosis and not PMR but I’ve been offered this treatment as I’m over 65 and I’m on the cusp of being osteopenic and my bone fracture score is now just above 10.. Recently my rheumy said that the results of my dexascan were some of the best he had seen for someone on

Methotrexate not Pred
After a few appointments with Rheumatologist who was adamant I did not have PMR, he agreed to a CT scan with contrast. The result was likely PMR or large joint arthropathy. I was put back on a short course of Pred while starting Methotrexate as a longer term med. I am in contact now with Rheumatology

Use by Dates and Prednisolone
I have a prescription of unopened 1mg gastro-resistant Prednisolone tablets. They've been kept in a cool, dry place but the expiry date is Oct 23. There seems to be mixed opinions from my research online as to whether you can continue to use Prednisolone after the expiry date, and for how long after
