Prednisone and fatigue
So, I started some investigations into this and landed on my
prednisone
dosage. I found that one reason
prednisone
is given with Abi is because Abi blocks cortisol production and
prednisone
is given to help replace that lost cortisol. One of the effects of low cortisol can be increased fatigue.

lower dose prednisone
My respiratory consultant and rheumatologist have had a discussion and decided to keep me on 10 mg of
prednisone
until I see rheumatologist in June instead of stopping in may as planned as it’s obviously working providing this was a connective tissue disease causing inflammation and effusion’s, it’s

upcoming cataract surgery
do I take
prednisone
after surgery since I will be fasting overnight? How long do I have to wait until I can bend over? Does it take longer to heal with
prednisone
? I'm on 3 mg.

Do Apalutamide and Darolutamide go alongside prednisone?
Appreciate you whether Apalutamide and Darolutamide must go alongside
Prednisone
when taken. A million thanks.

emotional on prednisone
I haven’t been on
prednisone
for years and I’ve had a brain haemorrhage in between so can’t remember how I felt but I’m on 20 mg at the moment and I’m feeling so emotional and sometimes angry at my husband as he isn’t the best person with my current illness, he wants attention, he wants the illness in

Much Better
I have never felt so well after 3 weeks on 15 mgs of
prednisone
. I'm beginning my tapering. My situation is a bit complicated as I have both MS and CMT so I thought my problems might have been neurological. I didn't know I felt so bad until I started

Cortisol levels
When I got down to 3mg of
Prednisone
I had a flare. (But the diabetes disappeared!) I went back to 4.5mg and felt better but the diabetes popped up again. Now I'm between 3 and 3.5mg of
prednisone
again and a bit nervous.

Prednisone Taper
This is the second time that I have jumped up from 3mg to 8mg because of severe leg and knee pain, shoulder etc and a lot of fatigue. This was recommended and works beautifully. After two weeks I am suppose to drop back to 3mg but I feel so good, I don’t want to. What do my experts think? Thank

Inflammation and RLS redux
It turns out that
prednisone
counteracts opioids, which explains why codeine stopped working. But the bigger issue is:
prednisone
is a powerful anti-inflammatory. If inflammation exacerbates RLS,
prednisone
should have made it better, not worse.
