Seronegative RA with OA in the Lumbar and Cervical Spine
I have a diagnosis of Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis with underlying Osteoarthritis in the lumbar and cervical spine. My question is one of exercise - The GP has made a referral to Physiotherapy - I'm expecting that this will take a while for an appointment to come through, in the meantime I'd love

Dropping to 5mg prednisone, just 5 in the AM. And hand xrays show mild osteoarthritis
I do also now have an orthopedic hand specialist appointment on Sept 2, my PIP middle finger joint right hand hurts a lot and cannot straighten it out all the way. I suppose I could have trigger finger and OA at the same time. Steady dropping of the pred is not bringing back any PMR pains, I do notice

Update on Tooth Extraction
Well!...... the remains of the tooth have gone and the whole experience has had some positives and some negatives!Let's start with negatives first:- - appointment start time...11.00am but actual start time.....12.05pm! Appointments were running way behind time. Not helpful when you're already feeling

Prednisone Alendrolic acid -Dexa scan
The GP has now informed me that at 73 and I deemed be to be at high risk because of pred and bone thinning NHS will NOT give you a scan. If your under 65 and are deemed at high risk you can have the scan. Would appreciate any input, thanks

The correct way to ween down on hydrocortisone? Advice please.
My last post was when I was just starting on 20mg of hydrocortisone changing from prednisolone and needed advice. Further down the line more advice needed please. On Monday I tested Covid ‘Positive’ I had avoided it since the first day that dreaded name was on everyone’s lips so it was a shock to find

Not a UTI
Thinking I had picked up a UTI (strange feeling in bladder area and frequent feeling of needing to urinate) I requested a urine test, which was done. The triage nurse at my surgery informed me that although it showed no infection there were in fact microscopic traces of blood in there, (which would be

First Rheumatology Appointment
I had my first rheumatology appointment today and I think it well unless any of you think otherwise as I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was diagnosed with PMR by GP at the end of June 2023 and successfully tapered from 15mg of Prednisolone to 10mg by the end of August however after three failed attempts

PREDNISOLONE and Methotrexate
hi, I’ve been on Pred for 15 months, gradually withdrawing. I got down to 3 mg and no further - a huge flair up. My rheumatologist has now suggested I take Methotrexate 20mg once a week, as well as increase Prednisolone to 10mg. Is anyone else on both these meds at the same time ? Has the Methotrexate

question regarding otc pain relief
I am currently on daily zytiga plus
prednisone
and monthly firmagon. . I have mostly avoided any pain meds. Recently, I overexerted while doing yard work and hurt the lower back. We now are hiking in the Finger Lakes and rest on the back isn’t as practical, but the back isn’t cooperating.

Prednisolone
Hi all. I haven't posted for a while, but I am on here everyday reading all your updates.I had an ablation in November 21. I have had a couple of AF episodes since, but they didn't last too long. I am getting what I think are palpatations, which seem to be getting worse. I have been feeling quite poorly

Upped my prednisone for knee inflammation and now I'm not sure how to reduce back to 1.5 mg.
So....
prednisone
was the answer, of course. My primary care gave me a 5mg dose, which I've been taking for 2 weeks. Inflammation and pain gone. So now I want to reduce back down to 1.5. Question is, how fast?

Newly diagnosed with limited systemic sclerosis
I was diagnosed in September 2023. I’m currently on prednisolone and hydroxycholoquine. I’ve struggled with fatigue for close to 2 years now and it has been the most debilitating symptom so far. In the past few weeks my hands have become very achey, they were slightly achey before but now it’s a lot
