possible PMR
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've been back to see my gp after finishing my weeks trial of prednisolone. It did help with my pain and made it possible to sleep through the night which was a real novelty after years of broken sleep. Whilst I was taking the pred I actually woke up refreshe and alert. Having been off them for a couple of days I am back to being woken constantly through the night with pain and awful back pain during the day. My gp said my esr was 55 and it should go below 10 after taking the 4 weeks pred he has prescribed me. I am to go for a blood test in 3 weeks and go back to see him in 4 weeks and we'll take it from there.I

Just remember that 4 weeks won't have cured it and don't agree to too fast a reduction - as a start, never reduce more than 10% at a time at any dose, even at 15mg.
Good luck!
