Posted , 7 users are following.
Goodmorning
I am on Day 6 of taking prednisone and have horrible headaches. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can maybe take and is this a side effect of meds?
Appreciate feedback
Thank you

I was diagnosed with PMR last week. The Rhumy has me on 15mg/day. I have blurred vision if I read to long. Under my jaw, neck area was hurting when my flair up was full blown. Also had headaches everyday too. I spoke to Dr. 2 days ago and she said prob from steroids?

I was put on 15 MG in September 2015 and increased to 20mg within 1 week to get the pain under control but once on prednisone suffered from terrible headaches and was worried about GCA so I got into a rumi immediately.
I didn't have GCA however it took about 2 months for the headaches to totally go away. It got better every week however if you have GCA symptoms get in ASAP you could loose your vision.
Don't want to scare you but get help.
