I hear you, and appreciate you. I have learned so much from your research posts. You have had a rough go with the prednisone.....12 years, I can't imagine.
Thank you. I'll post my Cardiac Calcium Score results. I wonder if elevated triglycerides has been observed in others on our forum?
Another discussion.
Godspeed.

@kayept thank you - your question prompted me to look at my blood work numbers from 4/3/26 labs again. I do see
My triglyceride # has jumped. In Jan 31,2025 (about the time PMR appeared) # was 113. Now? It’s 152 -considered high. And my thyroid #lower 1.541 in Feb this yr.
A yr ago was 2.731. I am on thyroid med. I have primary care physician appt in June. Maybe she can answer my concerns. Rheumy appt in Aug. I’m concerned w/creatinine & CRCL #’s which Rheumy says is Methotrexate caused.
BUT today I’m still feeling good as I’ve lowered my prednisone to 3mgs. Spring is beautiful here in the Midwest today, practicing positive thoughts, but still enjoy being snarky when necessary! Need to laugh. (It ain’t always easy!)
