Morning all, hope you can help me , I'm travelling to Kenya in November I've just seen on the government website that if your taking steroids ie prednisolone you maynot be able to have the yellow fever vaccination. Is this correct has anyone travelled to Kenya with this issue. I'm taking 6mg a day .

Zytiga started
Although we are not completely convinced it is needed : PSA went from 2 to 3 immediately after 6 weeks radiation which we expected to happen, MO insists on us adding Zy and
prednisone
. I am trying to get a second opinion but I did start it about 2 weeks ago.

Pseudomonas. Can steroids help to eradicate pseudomonas?
Following a nasty virus at Xmas still struggling with excessive mucus & wheezinessConsultant suggested
prednisone
might help when nothing showing up in sputum sample but most recent one revealed a small amount of pseudomonas. Would steroids help please? Linda

Xtandi after Zytiga
MO refusing to substitute dexa for
prednisone
with Abiraterone since it's not FDA approved. Convinced (?) him to wait 3 weeks (4/5) for blood test after radiation of only active met to check PSA which was 0.253 on 1/21 and 0.309 on 2/21. Hoping result lets me stay on Aba as long as possible.

Increased prednisone to address this longstanding flare
I've been flaring since September '22 when I got the last covid booster and finally decided that I needed to increase my
prednisone
to address the increasing aches and pains that seem to be spreading as time wore on.

Lepto meningeal involvement. No further treatment. Palliative radiation?
Spouse 10 weeks post Pluvicto and about to embark on a Hail Mary trial of androgen receptor degrader. But yesterday's brain MRI showed spread to dura and leptomeninges. So my lovely light and love of my life is coming to the end of the road we have walked, too briefly, together. Oncologist has already

Stopped taking prednisolone
My PMR journey started December 2019. As covid started soon afterwards and there was no support from the local surgery, Health Unlocked was an absolute godsend. I would therefore like to say a big thank you for the helpful feedbacks received and really did appreciate all the replies for peace of mind

GCA Flareup
Methortrexate to get me off
prednisone
, I said no to that because if I do have a flare up I need to increase the
prednisone
again, then I'll have another drug to deal with.

Major GCA Headache with 1/2mg taper
I'm on TCZ (Actemra) and
Prednisone
. I've been tapering from 55mg August 2022 to 9mg currently. I was trying to go down 1mg per month, but when tapering just a half mg from 9 to 8.5mg, I got horrible unbearable headaches. Is it possible that I have to stay at 9mg longterm with GCA and PMR?

Would dose timing help this?
My main problem is getting off the
prednisone
without going crazy. I am now tapering from 8 1/2 to 8. I take this at 5:30 on arising. Once I-reached 5 days on the lower dose I feel terrible on awakening. I call this feeling “adrenal”. By noon I feel well and can do normal stuff.

No diagnosis
I am desparate tonight. I've woken and coughed myself fruitlessly into a panic, after spending the last 2 weeks trying to stop coughing fairly successfully. Over the last few months, I've tried to see a doctor, but only see respiratory nurses. They tried 2 courses of antibiotics with prednisolone. Wheezing

Nasal Flu Vaccination
Hi everyone, I have PMR and currently on 10mg of Prednisolone. Should I avoid contact with my Grandaughter for a while when she has received the Nasal Flu Drops. Thank you Jenny

Red Eye Update
Hi,I posted a few days ago about keep having a bloodshot eye. Now on 4th since the beginning of the month!! Or maybe they never actually completely go in the first place, only disappear from the visible part of my eye? I went to the MEC clinic at Specsavers and after various tests and examining my eyes

Adrenals or that dripping tap?
I have not had a return of PMR/LVV type pain, but it feels as though every little thing that may have been masked by pred for the last 4+ years has come to the surface, as though my aging has been hidden under the comfort blanket of
prednisone
, which has now been lifted.
