A member asked:
Having psoriatic arthritis flare up. started 10mg prednisone 3 days ago still am running a low grade fever. is it unusual to still be running a temp?

Caution with prednis: The fever is not related to the psoriatic arthritis. This could be an infection and starting Prednisone without an evaluation is not a good idea. What else are you taking for the psoriatic arthritis? Your list of medications only has Prednisone. You need to see your physicians to clarify the fever and a rheumatologist to treat the psoriatic arthritis.
