PMR/Prednisolone and dental implants
Hi, I’m enquiring as to whether anyone else has experienced issues with their dental implants since being diagnosed with PMR and taking Prednisolone. I’ve been having trouble with one of my dental implants for a couple of weeks and on seeing the dentist today have been told that the implant has loosened

was it the wrong time to take myself off ibandronic acid?
Hello folks, feeling a bit out of my depths at the moment. I am now 5 years on prednisolone and, after discovering this wonderful forum was on a very slow tapering, got to 6.5 mgs but a bad cold followed by stressful events and I’m back to 7.5 mgs. My husband has recently been diagnosed with non-hodgkins

Highly elevated ESR and CRP but no symptoms of a flare
Hi All, I have gotten so much help from this forum - it is so incredibly valuable. I welcome your feedback on the issue I am currently experiencing. I've had PMR since 2018. I'm currently on 5mg prednisolone and 20mg of leflunomide (for almost 3 years). I have no other health issues. I work full

Raised calcium levels on prednisolone for pmr and long term lithium
my calcium levels are raised and have been for some time. At the last blood test they were 0.61. They have been 0.64. I’m not sure when the alarm bells will ring for the medical profession. A GP at our practice would not refer me to an NHS endocrinologist. I have been to see one privately. I have done

Why do I need such a high dose of prednisone?
I just want to know if needing 25 or 30 mg of
prednisone
is normal for being two months in to this disease. Or should I be worried that my rheumatologist is overlooking something? Thank you. - Emanuel

After 2 yes and a taper to half a mg daily, now have infections and started a full flare up
Advice please, don't know what dose to take? Posted a couple of weeks ago, as I had tapered slowly over two years and was on last half a mg Prednisolone daily, when hands and wrists became enflamed. Tried increase to 5mg daily for a week, returned to 1mg . Then got tummy bug, followed by Diverticulitis

Does PMR ever go away?
How many people would you estimate are able to get off of
Prednisone
? I love all of your knowledge and input. Thank you for everything you all share.

PMR & GCA: A Survival Guide
Book arrived yesterday afternoon - thank you to all who referenced it in your posts to me - it's read and about to be re-read! It's the first engaging piece of literature that I've been able to concentrate on for months! (for some reason I can't access the website www.polywotsit.com - does it still exist

how quickly did you feel relief by taking prednisolone?
posted before about potential PMR. Painful bilateral shoulders, upper and lower back pain, neck pain, sacroiliac, thigh pain etc. raised. Inflammation markers so prescribed 15mg prednisolone with repeat bloods after 2 weeks. Just wondering if this is PMR, how soon can I possibly find some relief?

titrating down Prednisolone
Titrating down your prednisolone becomes more problematic the lower the dose you are on so the reaction can be more profound, e.g if you are on 4mg for example & you reduce 1mg that is actually 25%. I titrate down 1mg every 6 weeks & have found I am having ‘withdrawal symptoms more than before so have

erythema nodosum after recast infusion cll numbers increased
I'm taking
prednisone
for inflammation. The rheumatologist is clueless as to why I got it. That will go away but i had a CBC and my WBC and lymphocytes were higher than usual. I'm wondering if it can be from the erythema nodes.

All in my mind, apparently!!!
I’d be most interested in opinions on this. Had a telephone conversation with my Rheumy a few weeks ago, which was 9 months since the last one – in a year when I had experienced considerable stress in Health, Work and Bereavement. I explained that I had tried to reduce the 20mg Methotrexate dose to

Pain in Right Hand
Having had lots of replies and helpful advice re my Adrenals questions, it has been pointed out to me that I am more likely to get advice on this hand problem if I make it a seperate post. The problem is a pain in my right hand that is with me most of the time, day and night, and Prednisolone does
