Managing Prednisone dose with PMR
I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023. ESR was 57 CRP was 46. My GP put me on 50mg of Pred for a few days with a slow tapering down. Currently I am on 3mg but am really uncomfortable day & night, and unable to do some normal daily tasks such as brushing hair, drying my back after a shower, vacuuming

COPD exacerbations.
Moxifloxacin 400 mg (7 days this time) 50 mg
prednisone
(7 days). I’ve just finished taking these prescriptions but I’m still coughing up thick, brown mucus. I talked to another doctor today and he has prescribed doxycycline for 7 days. Still feeling rough and lightheaded.

Curious about thin-skinned ears---Prednisone?
Just the other day, I wondered if it was from almost five years of
prednisone
; still on 2mg and TCZ. Do I have any mates with red ears? 👂🏼💞

Hospital and large doses of Prednisone??
During my first visit with Rheumatologist, I asked how to handle symptoms if they returned during tapering. I suggested that I go back to the last dosage that worked plus some, as I have read here. She said no, that I should go to Emergency at the hospital with the thought that they would inject me with

Update on skin lesions
He increased my
prednisone
to 40 mg for four days and the lesions healed leaving behind some patches of purporae. Once I reduced the
prednisone
new patches of lesions developed on my face and neck (intensely irritating).

PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
Abiraterone and
Prednisone
was added to Lupron. On November 3 I had a Lupron shot and started Abiraterone and
Prednisone
on November 10. Today I had a PSA test. My PSA dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic fall in PSA after only 22 days of Abiraterone .

Maintenance dose of prednisone - how effective?
For people who are on this all the time or during the winter months, what mg are you on and does it stop infections turning bad?

Antihistamines and Prednisone, are they compatible?
In the case of pollen allergies, is it ok to take an antihistamine while on
Prednisone
? I have mild symptoms, runny nose and teary eyes and so far haven't taken any antihistamines, but would it be safe to do so if symptoms get worse?

breathlessness??
I went off
prednisone
and within two days PMR hit with a vengeance. I say PMR rheumatologist says it’s not PMR as I have no elevated inflammatory markers in blood tests. But I was in agony everywhere until I was finally given
prednisone
.

After 2 days Prednisone feeling good already.
I have taken the Pret. for 10 days than 15mg for a week and now 10mg for a week and than 5 mg for a week. Reading some literature from the Royal College of Physicians and it indicates a much slower tapering. I have no or little symptoms after all this time and wonder if it is good to keep the 5 mg for

Is This Normal??
Is it normal after nearly 5 years on ADT + Zytig,
Prednisone
, and Xgeva, to have constant "Flu-Like" symptoms, (sans a fever)? Some days, everything hurts, legs hurt at night , feel like my blood is boiling while I try to sleep. Are these "side effects" or just part of the advanced cancer?

Long Haul advice and prednisone, please.
I’ve got the thumbs up from my ( yet another new) rheumy to increase my
prednisone
from 8.5mg to 10 mg daily ( more if I need it) since I’m really struggling now anyway . How should I manage the time difference and taking all my drugs ? I normally take them all at about 9 am.

Is 5 mg Prednisone for life safe
He has lost in total 25 kg in weight and has had no adverse side effects from the use of
Prednisone
. All bloods are good, he has very little pain and is living a virtually normal life. He takes calcium and K2 and eats very sensibly. Bone scan does not show any problems.

biceps pain
Hi, I am currently at 4.75 mg of
prednisone
and I am pain free in shoulder , neck , thighs but have developed severe pain in bicep area. I thought it might be PMR returning so upped my dosage by 5 mg for a week which didn’t seem to change anything.
