Life without Pred
Posted , 4 users are following.
as some of you know I was diagnosed a few months ago with PMR. Can't take Pred because of previous stomach ulcers which had perforated. Had an injection from my Rhematologist depo me drone which was magic, another two weeks ago and a third today. He suggests rather than cutting the dose down ,, 120 mg I space then out further apart to gradually reduce the dose, I feel brilliant on them and no side effects. He worked out that over two weeks I am currently having about 9 mg a day. He is going to teach my partner how to administer them so I haven't got to go to hospital every time for them if we are away and they run out. It's administer as needed but this last one lasted 4 days longer than the previous one. So far so good

I know some doctors use injections for diagnosis - in fact often the diagnosis is made when someone has a steroid injection for something else.
