Day 14 on Prednisone!
Week two on pred tablets four a day last week three a day this week. Certainly seeing great improvement in my hand thank goodness. The pain was starting to get me down and not being able to use my hand properly made life difficult! Next week two tablets a day will let you know how I get on. Happy Weekend

In so much pain and feeling poorly
Hi folks, Last Friday while squeazing the edge of the mattress into the corner of a fitted sheet I had an excruciating shooting pain across the middle of my back. After that I could barely do anything without serious pain. Ever since, I've been falling asleep all day, had nausea, bloating & painful

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

pmr flare
Hi I just got down to 4.5/mg of
prednisone
and started to get stiffness in a number of areas. As I flared once before I am more careful now. I went up to 9 mg 3 days ago. I will stay there for about 8 days. Is that long enough? I will then go down to 5 mg can I do that in one drop or stage it.

Steroid Withdrawal at lower levels of Prednisone
They agreed with the adrenal glands having to start working, but said that at that low level of
Prednisone
, I won’t get steroid withdrawal! A year ago, they were accusing me of being addicted to
Prednisone
, that it was like Cocaine for me...sheesh.

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

A bit confused!
I’m also taking 5mg of
Prednisone
, until the methotrexate kicks in (so the nurse said). I’m currently having blood tests every two weeks and last week the consultant phoned me to say my white blood cells were very high. He asked if I had an infection of any kind, which I don’t.

Is it tapering or adrenals?
I'm in hols at the moment, so probably have doing a bit too much! However, today I have shortness of breath doing the slightest thing, even sitting down, and feeling faint and wobbly. I'm a bit better now I've rested all day.Do you think I just need to up my steroids for a couple of days(I've been

Bright Lights and Halos
Hi, For a change, I am not asking for myself, but for a male friend who has literally just been diagnosed with PMR. He is on day five of taking 15mg Gastro costed Pred, and seeing an improvement in his symptoms. However yesterday he started to see massive halos around single point lights like street

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

Prednisone forever?
Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. My hubby is almost at 1 year on Pred for PMR. As soon as he tapers, his shoulder pain comes back. He is recently retired and suffering through this madness, which I think started after taking a booster (please don't debate me - this is factual to me

pain….is it PMR or something else?
I’m on 9 mg of
prednisone
and haven’t tried increasing the dose, if this isn’t PMR. My latest sed rate, CPR are right at the edge of being over the limit, been steadily increasing for 3 months.

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

Prednisone-2 week jump and back to 1-2mg over what you were taking.
Thank you for all of your suggestions. One more question. Should I taper in 1/2mg from my temporary 8mg or can I just drop from 8mg to 5mg. I was taking 3mg which caused me to jump to 8mg because of all the pain and fatigue. I have been taking the jump of 8mg for 9 days. Should I wait until I hit

The last couple of tapers.
I’m on 1mg of
prednisone
. Has anyone successfully dropped from 1 to zero instead of going to 1/2 first?

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.

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
