why do people on pred have to double up when anything happens. Covid fall whatever. I don’t understand. I was having teeth out and dentist said double up dose. I didn’t and nothing happened. I’m trying to come off it asap. I’ve recently gotten RA which when it hit me it was excruciating and I was unable to stand walk etc. I determined to fight this head on. Have high pain threshold, but this RA really affects my joints because of stiffness and pain. It totally impacts on your life, but I won’t let it win. So do I have some more little surprises hiding away and ready to jump out on me. Someone on this site will have the answer. Thanks.
