what am I here for?

How many times do I say that when I walk in a room.

I am hoping this brain fog, to the point of no short term memory gets better as I get off these high doses.,

I think there is a weight loss effect to prednisone, its the " made lunch , put it on table walked away , for,lord knows what , to find it much later, where I left it untouched ," diet🤔

Good morning ( here in the states) maybe good afternoon or good night to this lovely community.

Good afternoon here!

You only have to worry when you walk into the toilet (aka restroom) and don't know why you are there!

Have you got problems in that direction then?

Drinking tons of lemon water with parsley and cucumbers to avoid water gain so just the expected.!

That's OK then - was worried you had the other sort of frequency and were on (for example) omeprazole which is renowned for causing that!!

Love your weight loss story. Could do with that recipe. I posted her last week that I had my prednisolone box in front of me and couldn't remember if I taken them. Hoping too that my brain will sort itself out as I reduce. Otherwise I'll have to find something else to blame ;) good luck :)

Oh, you can always find plenty of things to blame!

When you live on your own, it's surprising how many things seem to have a mind of their own - just wish I could locate mine sometimes - seems to go walkabout much too often. 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Trouble is, can't blame the Pred any more.

Makes life interesting though, when, for example, you find your clean socks in the fridge and find that you've thrown your new tablets away and kept the old carton. Fortunately, I hadn't emptied the bin ! Don't know whether to blame pred, age or combination of the two.
