I like it, except for the fragile skin. Down to 3.5 now, 15 months from 20. My PMR is still active so I'll be trying this dose for months. No doctor besides my internist husband.
Thank you! I used to live in Peru and in there it is a very common medicine doctors prescribe to handle even common flu symptoms.. I was prescribed prednisone and was taking it fairly regularly. The problem started when overtime I became allergic to it, and from one day to another suddenly my body became like a Michelin doll, and I could not swallow or walk, my face was like if I had a stroke. I was rushed to the ER and thankfully it was just allergy. I will never be able to take any corticoides anymore, only non-cortisol type medication. Be very careful with this one!
Thank you so much Dr! I really especially enjoy the relatable manner in which you present this info. Also thank you very much for the bonus at the end about alternate dosing. I definitely plan on asking my dr about this plan for me. ❤
Thank you, great video. I've been on 2mg for over 4 years, I want to stop, but the doctor said it's a low dose and to keep on it. My inflammation markers are all normal. Is 2mg safe ? My condition feel still slightly active.
My dr refuses to give me anymore prednisone! He’s the first dr I went to when I woke up one morning and couldn’t move! 😩that was February this year! That was my family dr!! He told me to see a rheumatologist and I did and she wants me off prednisone and wants me to start on Kevzara! I read the side effects of Kevzara and chose not to take it! Why would I take something that sounds far worse than prednisone??? So now I have very few pills left and I’m still in so much pain!! I don’t know what to do!🙏
been taking 5 mg for one month. didn't make me feel better. esr 108, crp 20. i am 68Last tablet today provider said just stop, no refills. he said Cleveland Clinic says it's ok🤨
I was just diagnosed with PMR a month ago and am on Prednisone right now. My question: is PMR something that is cured by nature or time or by your body response over time? Prednisone is only useful for the side effects (i.e. Pain) and I am certainly grateful for how effective it is.... but it does not cure the PMR.
PMR sufferer also. I can tell you I have an uncle who had it, was on Prednisone for several months, got off it and has been PMR free for several years. You are correct, P is not the cure. You just have to ride it out. Taper as soon as you can, get free from it.
@topbuilder3790 So, did your uncle taper off prednisone over many months? And did he know or have any idea why his PMR ended? What's he doing anything special like diets or?

Go to another doctor, you might have to see a few. I'm not sure which types but almost any walk in could or should be able to give you them
Hello Dr. thank you por great information. Does this apply for deflazacort as well? I have been on it for over a long time now at 5 mg
Thank you 😊
And since we don't know where PMR comes from or how one gets, do we know how to make it go away?

@@Richie07a1 Not clear on his whole experience. Just learned through other family member. Turns out, he was on Prednisone for almost 2 years.
