I forgot to take pred yesterday - how much should I take now?

[Mstiles]

hello all,

I keep a written calendar of my pred doses.

yesterday on Sunday I thought it was Saturday for some reason, and looking at my notes this morning I saw I had missed yesterday’s dose.

I take it on the morning - 10:00 - 11:00.

Last night I had pain everywhere and horrible heartburn.

I’m in the US. It’s 8:00 a.m. here now. I just took my usual dose of 9 mg.

Should I take more? I’ve been without it since Saturday morning.

If you start to feel better in a few hours, I'd stick with the dose you took. If not, perhaps take another 5mg - as if it were a flare - and then go back to the normal dose tomorrow.

thank you Pro.

I usually take the dose as soon as I realise I have forgotten and usually when I find myself in accute pain!! If it is close to my normal dose time I would just take my normal dose. See how you feel.

I took an extra 5 and feel much better.

Thanks piglette
