Vomited after taking pred

[olive2709]

Woke up fell rough today 30mins after taking my pred I was sick what do I do take more or leave it have forgotten to take them only once before and don't want to feel like that again

Was it under or more than 30mins? The instructions given for children is that if it was over 30min then there is no need to give another dose, less than 30mins and you give the same dose again.

However, for an adult there is not a lot of risk for taking a single double dose - if it was the better part of 40mins don't worry, if not, take more.

I use pepcid for nausea with pred. If I take pred with breakfast, nothing spicy, usually ok. Sometimes not. The stomach medicine helps. Good luck.

Don't know about anyone else but I have really struggled if I ate too much cheese - whether it is the PMR or the pred I have no idea! Since I had raclette for dinner on Christmas Eve with no effects it may be the pred since now I am on a very low dose. Hope so anyway - raclette again tonight

Some times I have to remind him iam not 5 years old.We are both retired so he can be there for me to tell you the truth I could milk this he loves to go fishing sometime alone sometimes with friends they always go on Monday this week I have a hospital appointment he will be with me I come first at all times . I meet him when I was 47 married him on my 50 birthday .

I married mine 3 months ago, Been Poorly ever since, very odd!

I know he cares, but he doesn't know how to deal with all this, he's never been married before or got children a Batchelor for 55 yrs. . I'm never going to chance him am I?

I'm a very independent woman which is why we work. . . Only now I'm not so independent . . . X
