Facial Hair growth due to Cyclosporine
It's been 3 months post my transplant and I'm on cyclosporine,
prednisone
& MMF. I have been. experience a lot of facial hair growth. My doctors told me it could due to steroid or cyclosporin but more likely due to cyclosporine.

Side effects of steroids
I am well aware that Prednisolone can affect you in various ways, acutely while you are using them and also long term.. But could it weaken your blood vessels? I have just found out that I have a couple of small bleeds/leaks from blood vessels at the back of one eye. While the bleeds in themselves

Prednisolone came down to fast
Hi everyone, I tried unsuccessfully to taper down from 10mg to 8mg and like Dorsetlady said it was too big a drop. And she was right I tried saying that I will get over the severe aches and pains to no avail I had to go back to 10mg.Thank you for reading my small note. Peter

implant Surgery Tomorrow
The dental surgeon says to take 10 mg prednisolone in the morning before having the tooth extracted and implant put in. She knows I’m currently on 3-3.5 mg and has PMR long term. She says the extra is to help with the anxiety/stress and that as my body likely isn’t producing cortisol of its own this

Reducing Prednisone!
Hi, Although I have been using
Prednisone
for over three years now I can’t say if gained any wisdom I can give you other than try hard to reduce the dosage very slowly. I’ve managed to reduce my dosage from 6 mags daily to now 1.5 msg daily and am hoping to phase completely off it!

Bruising?
Six months ago my MO switched me from Nubequa to Zytiga plus
prednisone
. Since then the bruising has become much more of a problem and my arms are covered with bruise markings. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Down to 1 mg Pred and how to let go?!
I feel much better than 2018 and will always be grateful to the
prednisone
, but I do now know I have some arthritis and skeletal issues that cause some of the continuing discomfort. The reason I would like to let go of the Pred is not the weight - that came off several months ago.

Prednisolone And Thinning Skin
Hi, I don’t post on here very often but I have a problem that I would like to share. I have been on Prednisolone for about eight years, since I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia; it caused my retirement at 64 years. I even posted a poem on here that I wrote, with the first line "Polly Myalgia, she

Hello! I was hoping to get some advice. I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with security and customs at airports, and if so was it easily resolved? Or what else have they asked for? Just want to be as prepared as possible. I'm off to Costa Rica in December flying from Gatwick airport with

stiffness with reduction plan
I started on 20 mg of prednisolone early July and had reduced to 12mg by mid September without any problems. I caught Covid and pain returned but only in my left hip so I increased to 15mg for a couple of weeks while the pain subsided. During October I’ve decreased to 13.5mg and have some mild stiffness

Steroids, statins, strange query
I was put on 80mg Atvostatin mid Aug following a TIA/Afib episode and diagnosis. From mid September I started to suffer an intermittent throbbing, burning pain on the ball of my foot and last three toes. It comes on suddenly such as during the short 1 mile walk I’ve just completed. Bloods in Sept showed

My question is about backing off from the 5mg

past my sell by date
yesterday I had an eye test and the optician asked if I was “still !” using eye drops in my very dry eyes. He said I should do so hourly. I wasn’t aware I was supposed to but apparently they are so dry they account for the regular migraines I’ve been experiencing. Then the usual questions regarding

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and
prednisone
. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle.

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.
