A little recap -- mine started out with neck / should pain middle of September 2021. Usually 2 times a year I get seasonal sinus infections and I thought it was my autumn / fall infection kicking in ---- but then the head ache came -- I thought the back of my head was going to blow out -- then my arms hurt to the touch -- got in to my pcp -- he automatically thought pmr and prescribed 40 mg. -- Two days later the symptoms were gone and I had a appointment with the RA specialist. She agreed with the issue and dosage. I was then scheduled for the temple biopsy and it came back negative --- BUT, I am prediabetic, my sugar would go to 300 about 2 hours after taking the prednisone. -- I took it upon myself to begin cutting back on the prednisone. BUT now my hips and tops of my legs are painful / aches -- the 7.5 mg of prednisone has not helped hips / legs. ------ shoulders / neck / headache are all ok --- last lab results Jan 2022 showed blood work / sed rate still a little high along with little high c reactive protein -------------------- have not had any vision problems
