Adrenal insufficiency and dosage
I searched this site but didn't find this article. For me the top takeaway was "[i]Mean prednisolone dose the last 3 months and basal P-cortisol were the best and simplest predictors of adrenal function."[/i] This conclusion seems to support the DSNS protocol(which I am using with success so far--thank

possible flare or low cortisol
Hi, reduced my prednisolone about 2 weeks ago to 4.5mg from 5mg and have been okay until today. A couple of twinges here and there but manageable. Today I’m feeling awful, headache, pain in back, legs, feet and shoulders/neck. Absolutely exhausted and feeling tearful. Could this be a flare do you think

What if I have normal ESR and CRP?
I would like you to continue to attempt to taper the
prednisone
but add a dose of meloxicam with your largest meal and see if you respond to the NSAID class as a steroid sparer."

it feels like I'll never get better
Hi! I've had constant air hunger every day since June. During my early teens, I was diagnosed with asthma caused by cats. I got prescribed Ventolin which I used when in contact with cats, it helped. I never had any other issues with asthma. As I was young, the allergy tests only confirmed me being

? What other second tier drug would be a replacement recommended ? Thank You

Abiraterone plus Prednisone and 3 monthly injection failing now in 79 year old dad with mets to bone on NHS in UK.
From reading this site I already suggested to my dad to ask his doctor to switch his steroid from
Prednisone
to dexmethazone, but he forgot to ask that at his apppointment this am. He has become very forgetful. He is a farmer, and keeps working as much as he can but sleeps alot.

Any ideas for travel insurance for those with PMR
I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR about 18 months now. Have tried hard to taper but following flares have now been told by Rheumy to go back to my original dose of 15 mg and start again from there. Today has been my first day back on the 15 and suddenly I am pain free and feel almost like before

update on subacute thyroiditis
I was eventually given a course of steroids as my ESR was stubbornly high (40mg
prednisone
) which was tapered off and B blockers to manage thyrotoxic symptoms. The steroids worked like magic and I’m now feeling so much better. I also started B complex vitamins and iron supplements.

Asthma post COVID
I did a
prednisone
taper and am currently taking symbicort twice daily. My only symptom is persistent chest tightness/breathlessness. I'm not wheezing or ever really in danger of an attack. Symbicort doesn't seem to be doing much after a month in.

Steroids not working?
I’ve just had a 5 day rescue course of prednisolone due to an asthma flare. However, my peak flow is still only about 70% and I have an itchy, scratchy throat and cough. I don’t actually have a cold so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve never had a course of steroids before where it hasn’t made me completely

Resistant Hypertension
Taking 5mg

. Fair BP and pulse rate control on bisoprolol, losartan and amlodipine. Doing so well on Zytiga, really rather not change it. Continue as I am or increase

Another anniversary
I still wake up every morning and take my Zytiga and my
prednisone
. I still go to my tri annual oncology appointment to receive my Eligguard and I still wait for those PSA test results to pop up in my electronic chart but other than that I just don't think about it much at all. .

omeprazole query
is it advisable to keep taking Omeprazole before taking prednisolone as my doctor prescribes, or would breakfast eating beforehand be as effective? (In the interests of taking less drugs than absolutely necessary).
