Appendicitis and PMR?
I’m 67, have well controlled PMR and take 5mg of Prednisolone. I have been on a low carb diet because of a diagnosis of pre diabetes. On occasion I have been feeling tired recently and put that down to the change of diet. Ten days ago I got severe stomach cramps and a temperature and went to the GP

covid booster and prednisolone
just a quick question- I am on a tapering course of prednisolone and have my covid booster booked before the end of the course. Does anyone know if I can go ahead or should I postpone?

PMR with type 2 diabetes
I had type two diabetes before I was diagnosed with PMR and I think this is why my GP wants me to get down as quickly as possible from prednisolone as it affects my blood sugar level. For the last three months I have been going up and down because I just cannot seem to get rid of the pain. I got as

Started reducing so updated profile
To keep my profile updated, I've added that having been on 15 mg prednisolone for the six weeks since being diagnosed with PMR, my doctor yesterday recommended reducing by 2.5. That felt a bit much, so I've opted for a 1.25 reduction to see how that feels, and I've found I'm noticeably (though not

controlling temperature
I’ve had no change of drugs and am on

Methortrexate and chloroquine. My feet are always cold but my body is often sweating. It’s almost that my thermostat has broken! Welcome any advice.

To jab or not to jab
Hi I was diagnosed January this year. I am on Prednisolone trying to taper to come off as I hate the effects. I have had 5 Covid jabs, 4 were Pfizer and the last one was Moderna, which I am convinced started PMR. I now wonder whether to have the next one as I am coping reasonably well and do not want

GCA flare
Diagnosed April 2018 with PMR. Three months later GCA. I am currently on 3mgs prednisolone. Over the last two days have scalp pain on right side only … no jaw pain. It feels a bit like I am getting a cold sore but no cold sore showing up. Could it be a GCA flare? Thank you to everyone who replies.

Progress report
Oh what a fun week I have had. Those of you that followed the tooth saga will be pleased to hear I am nearly at the finishing line and had the fitting for the implant, another 2 weeks and I will have the new tooth. It wasn’t particularly pleasant but it’s done. My next exiting trip was to have a scan

alcohol
hi has anyone has a couple of alcoholic beverages while on Prednisolone. I am down to 3mg and have been off alcohol since I started my PMR journey. Just wondering if it’s best not to have any alcohol until down to zero, or if a couple of pints would do a lot of harm.

Very tired & can’t walk in straight line.
I was diagnosed in Jan 2023 with PMR & put on 15mg Prednisolone. I am now tapering 1mg per month and am down to 8mg. I am exhausted most of the time, can’t walk in a straight line and stagger quite a bit if very tired. I also have a very annoying sensation under my scalp on the top of my head, which
