PMR - Decreased prednisone and pain returned

Hi Sheryl, sorry you have joined the "club". I was worried about the effect of exercise at first too. I found that gentle and consistent exercise and MOTION of any kind are vital.

I garden a bit, and then rest. I do Yoga daily, then rest. Pool exercises are great and so is walking. Moving consistently and gently through the day has kept me mobile.

This clip was a life saver a few months ago when I could barely move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjk27oGh2aQ

Prednisone hasn't caused any gastric problems for me, I usually eat a banana when I take it.

Glad you've found this support group, it helps a lot.

Thanks for the exercise video link really helpful I have had lots of abdominal pain and gastric issues with prednisone had to increase pantaprozole and a couple of times treated for oral thrush I have got used to the discomfort and hopefully it will resolve once I have ceased prednisone so pleased to try these exercises and over time learned to pace myself and that regularly moving and gentle exercise is very helpful
