[Temoral]

having had a bad reaction to antibiotics...or was it a virus as GP said,she recommended stopping the antibiotics which has cleared all the symptoms accept headache.i have GCA...and she said not to increase the steroids,even tho I had diarrhea. Is this a sick day rules situation please? I am on 7.5mg......

Depends how bad you are and how long it lasts I suppose. I think I might take a bit more for a couple of days and see if that made me feel better. Not saying you should mind.

How are you feeling, Temoral? Better, I hope….😊

I think Sick Day Rules really apply if you are ill enough to take to your bed, as it were. I had a bad stomach bug recently (maybe had similar effects to what you are experiencing) and I didn’t have the need to increase pred.

So as pro says, it really depends on how bad you feel. Sorry I can’t be more helpful and hope you’re better soon x
