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. .

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."

Advice regarding recent flare up please.
Hi, l have been tapering down my Pred and had reached 7mg. I can’t say l was pain free, but it wasn’t too bad. I have been under a lot of pressure from my Rheumatologist to taper off as quickly as possible. I had been dropping 1mg per month. In the last week my symptoms have worsened and l am in no

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.

Bleed during TWW
Hi All, I seem to bleed during the TWW, first four ivf rounds I was on either utrogestan or cyclogest pessary only and I bled day 8/9 of the TWW. Then the last two rounds I have been on one lubion and cyclogest pessary and the bleed would start on day 10/11. I have asked for prontogest for my 6th ivf

Zolendronic Acid Infusions
I know this treatment is for osteoporosis and not PMR but I’ve been offered this treatment as I’m over 65 and I’m on the cusp of being osteopenic and my bone fracture score is now just above 10.. Recently my rheumy said that the results of my dexascan were some of the best he had seen for someone on

Methotrexate not Pred
After a few appointments with Rheumatologist who was adamant I did not have PMR, he agreed to a CT scan with contrast. The result was likely PMR or large joint arthropathy. I was put back on a short course of Pred while starting Methotrexate as a longer term med. I am in contact now with Rheumatology

Use by Dates and Prednisolone
I have a prescription of unopened 1mg gastro-resistant Prednisolone tablets. They've been kept in a cool, dry place but the expiry date is Oct 23. There seems to be mixed opinions from my research online as to whether you can continue to use Prednisolone after the expiry date, and for how long after

Intro (I'm new here)
I was put on 10mg of
Prednisone
which hardly helped. That was increased to 15mg and then to 20mg. Prior to
Prednisone
my symptoms were mostly in my upper arms, some in my hips and legs.

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.

Prednisolone stopped
This is an epic day; my first day with NO PREDNISOLONE after a 5 year journey with PMR. I feel quite nervous and wonder what the next few months will be like. I have reduced extremely slowing, particularly over the last 2 years and it took me 3 attempts to get below 3mg, but once there, I seemed to

Chest Infection and Adrenal Insufficiency
So, I've had multiple hospital attendances recently due to this Chest Infection. Was put on antibiotics, but had an Asthma Exacerbation anyway so attended again as home nebulisers weren't enough. So asked if I should add Prednisolone on top of my Hydrocortisone. No one knows the answer. And I don't know

Alternative to Prednisone
After blood tests it was confirmed and I am now on
Prednisone
, 4 tabs a day. Pain has gone but feel spaced, tired and generally off. I eat a balanced diet and conscious of eating anti inflammatory foods.
