Hello, I am an active 66 year old. I exercise quite a bit and still work full-time as well. many years ago I was diagnosed with PMR and my neurologist gave me Plaquenil(P) a- 200 mg daily ( a small dose) and Methylprednisolone 4 mg once a day to take long-term. I stopped it about 2 years ago because I felt great. Now I have a sort of recurrence. My hands are very tight when I wake up in the morning and it takes some time to feel normal. So today I started those 2 meds again. I am going to break the 4 mg methylprednisolone in half for only a 2 mg dose. The reason I am going to do this is because I am kind of nervous about the possible side effects long term. I do not want to lower my immunity to anything (especially not in today's world). I rarely have any side effects from the meds I take. So I guess my question is - what do you think of me taking methylprednisolone for any long-term sort of care and its effect on my body to fight off infections like the flu or COVID or the like in the future? I mean the dose is really small but it usually is enough to stop the tightness in my hands. And lastly- I need to take the shingrix vaccine to prevent any possibility of getting shingles especially since I am 66. Can I take them both as well or any advice here?
