Hello, do you have PMR or GCA or both?  If not I think you need the asthma section.  Anything we reply is for PMR and GCA patients.

I was prescribed Clenil 200 inhaler for asthma. Would this help you instead of Prednisolone. I am on Prednisolone for GCV and PMR. I too am having a very bad time on them. I know I cannot stop taking them but wonder just how long I can carry on sweating and nausea along with being unable to get out of bed for long or do the simplest of tasks. I was prescribed them on July 29th this year. I wish you well.

Hi Sophiesu20099

I too had palpitations when on a higher dose of Pred. they do calm down once your dose is lowered, it is just one of the numerous side effects.

Being anxious does not help either, try Kalms, it will get better.

Pharmacist suggested I up my Xanax .05 which helped, I'm on high dose 3 more days, but just down abit...what is lower dose. No caffeine, and tried to take my antidepressant Ciprolex made it much worse. Heart rate over 110

Hi Jean b

Kalms are herbal, you can buy them at most supermarkets or health food shops. I take them when I need them.

I know not everyone agrees to herbal medicine, but I will try anything to help me feel better. They do not make you drowsy.

I am also trying capsules to boost the immune system, immunace, and omega 3 capsules.

I am now on 10mg Pred, hoping to reduce next week by 1mg.

I hope this helps.
