Prednisolone levels
Posted , 9 users are following.
Thanks all for the replies, i did not know you can get a pill cutter, i am suprised the Dr or reception or even the chemist did not tell me when i said i had problems, the chemist said they do plastic coated .5mg bur Drs dont prescribe them as they are expensive. I am having another blood test 2wks instead of the usual 4wks after the last so will see if levels are still up then i think i will go back up to 15mg and reduce more slowly. My PM came on after my first ever chest infection at the age of 70yr did anyone else's start in a similar way.

My PMR was and I am totally convinced of it was due to long periods of stress. Anyway you take care and keep us up to date. Pat

There is no known cause for PMR, and patients have come up with many different theories, with some saying they suffered extreme stress before succumbing, others blame starting statins, whilst yet others blame flu or surgery. It's fair to say that most of us find that if we suffer stressful situations along our journeys with PMR, we often experience worsening symptoms. So it's wise to avoid as much stress as possible, although some stresses are impossible to avoid.

I have just started using a pill cutter. Excellent. You may be able to get one from Ebay as well. Could be a bit cheaper.Just be careful not to cut any pills that are slow release. They are not meant to be cut as they deliver a dose over a designated time frame e.g 12 hours.
Take care.
