The Curious Case of the Salty Taste!

Just a quickie for once (Summer will love it )

I asked a question a while back about a salty taste in my mouth, everything tastes salty, even sweet things and my beloved cups of tea are just yucky!

Anyway saw the GP today and she confirmed that the Prednisolone is the culprit. I'm being weaned off in preparation for my scan next month so hopefully taste buds will return (and my horrible steroid induced weight gain will diminish!)

I haven't been on Pred so not the answer for me with the salty coffee taste I am glad to hear it is for you, nothing like salt taste in everything! I guess time for me to make a Doc appointment.

Hiya Health4MeGo, welcome. Notice you'd replied to a few old posts.
