Steroids
Hi I have PMR ( diagnosed in April this year ) My rheumatologist gave me a steroid injection 3 weeks ago in shoulder for pain ( she was reluctant for me to go back on oral preds because I’m diabetic type 2 ) Anyway the
steroids
reduced the pain for a short while . Then it was agony !

Fingers crossed
One whole week off the
steroids
! Been very slow tapering and now stopped and feel fine.
Steroids
had masked an no doubt exacerbated arthritis knees etc. but hoping all okay. Told to start tapering methotrexate in 3 weeks by 5mg per month.

Hello to all Three years ago I was diagnosed with GCA and put on 75mg of Prednisilone tapering for 2 years till I finished. I managed to stay off Prednisone for 1 year. During that time I suffered many side effects, well that is what I thought was the case. I improved slowly but then went downhill

Flare Up
GP consult yesterday and advised to up
steroids
. Flare up due most likely to with drawing
steroids
to quickly. It will be slower now and every 4 - 6 weeks by 1 mg. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Synacthen Test
It says it is now safe to stop taking
steroids
. My question is, as i have been on
steroids
for over 5 years should i just stop or continue reducing. I am now taking 2.5mg prednisolone reducing by 0.5mg every 2 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.

Covid recovery and steroids
using the dsns method I had got down to 0.5 mg
steroids
in December but then I got covid. The first symptoms that I experienced were like a pmr flare. I increased the
steroids
to 5 mg . After two weeks of slow recovery I then went rapidly downhill and went to the doctor.

Post Operative Steroids
I am now home after having a new knee fitted. They kept me in an extra night due to being in surgery much longer than anticipated and low sodium levels, so saline drip overnight. I am guessing I was given more anaesthesia than planned, I am finding that I am more tired than I've ever felt. I can
