I'm sure I have read on here somewhere that preds can make you feel a bit fuzzy-headed. Is this common?? I'm starting to find it difficult to concentrate and struggle (more than usual!) to remember what I'm supposed to be doing!! It comes to me reasonably quickly but I have to stop and really think about it.
To know of other people's experiences would be welcome.
Thanks
It can happen as a result of GCA/PMR (and other autoimmune disorders) but some people find pred does it too.
Now you have posted you will see a load of posts with "fuzzy" in the title - do have a look at them while you are waiting for replies.
Definitely brain fog, especially on high doses. Currently down to 18mgs, still 'fuzzy' but not as bad. The trouble is when you get to our age we become anxious about memory loss/dementia, perhaps are watching out for it? Anyway, lots of pred-heads on here, join the club. x
Thank you Fatsiajaponica!!! A friend of mine used to talk of "cemo-brain". I have already used "steroid-brain". Glad to know I wasn't making it up!!
