I'm on holiday at the moment and unfortunately my brain has decided to go on vacation as well. I looked at my pillbox for today's dose of preds and wondered why it was empty. Funny,I thought. I must have forgotten to put Sundays dose in. So I took some out of my emergency pack and then realised (too late) that I've taken double the dose of preds -14mgs! Any advice anyone? Or should I lie in a darkened room and hope the end is quick?

In the famous words “don’t panic”, just enjoy a pain free day, but as others have said don’t overdo it or you’ll likely suffer tomorrow!

Back to normal from now on!

Enjoy the boost it will give you - don't overdo it but make the most of it. Loads of people are on that sort of dose anyway. And tomorrow, take the usual dose.

Don’t feel stupid for giving yourself a reprieve with higher dose. Feel thankful! We all do things related to Pred head (or aging) and must learn to be gentle with ourselves and laugh it off! We deserve and have earned positivity!

I manage to forget to take the pred which is definitely not a good idea. Never again though. Taking extra for a day will be fine in fact possibly better than fine!
