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).

Extra pred worked
So.....yesterday (Fri 20th Oct) my son and now DIL, were married. I took an extra 2mgs of prednisolone the day before & yesterday, and had the most incredible day. I was even on the dance floor strutting my stuff at 11.45pm! Just an extra 2mgs (and careful 'pacing') allowed me to embrace every moment

Talked to PCP about tapering, he says go from 20mg to 15mg prednisone using a pill splitter
But my PCP also poo-pooed the idea of small dose pills of
prednisone
like 5mg, 2.5,g or 1mg which it seems some people take. Wants me to try a big taper next week to 15mg from 20mg. What do you think will happen? At 20mg, I still can feel some pain after waking in the am, and at might I get stiff.

After Rheumy appt...now where or nowhere?
She harped about me being at 30 mg Pred and I should "get that
prednisone
down". At this point, I'm wondering if I should increase it to see if it helps with the pain, although it HAS NOT in past. The only thing that was initially helping was Ibuprofen and Tylenol together.

Nubeqa vs Abiraterone for post Docetaxel maintenance?
My challenges with side effects included eliminating Tylenol and reducing ABI for one cycle; and then, switching from 1000mg ABI on empty stomach to 250mg ABI+ 10mg
Prednisone
with low fat breakfast. The end result was PSA dropped to .55 and liver enzymes returned to normal range.

Prednisolone increase: 0.25mg to 1mg
During wk 5 of my slow D-L taper from 0.5 to 0.25mg, bi-lateral shoulder discomfort started yesterday. Based on the knowledge gained here I have increased to 1mg and plan to stay at that dose for 5 days, and then drop to 0.5mg, sticking at 0.5 for a month at least before trying the last step once more

Allergy to prednisolone?
Hi everyone I have severe asthma and was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency in 2020 after taking lots of Pred when Covid triggered my asthma. I was just left on 5mg Pred for two years with no endocrinology involvement. I was eventually transferred to an endocrinologist who tried me on hydrocortisone

Migraine and prednisolone
Does anyone else suffer with migraines while taking prednisolone which I take for PMR (7.5 mg at present)? I started having migraine with aura several months ago and they seem to be getting more frequent. There's no pain, just this unpleasant visual disturbance. I've had my eyes tested and they're fine

Flare after covid
Iāve had a fairly mild dose of covid, and lots of stress with a leaking roof, which has caused a flare. Iāve been on prednisolone since early July after waiting six months for a diagnosis. I started on 20mg and had reduced to 12.5 without much pain but that has returned. Iāve taken 15mg for two days
