Hi all,
And happy New Year to everyone.
Cut a long story short, I've been on pred for PMR since Nov 2023 starting on 35mg and am now tapered down to 4mg.
I have unfortunately now developed a tooth infection that requires either root canal or extraction.
My dentist prescribed Metronidazole 3 times a day. My tooth is still painful to bite on but the pain has subsided a bit. I do, however, I alo feel absolutely grizzly, diabolical in fact. I have been sleeping constantly and feel I have a temperature and am completely run down, drained and exhausted.
Just wondering if this is linked to my PMR or Pred use and if anyone has any advice or thoughts as to what I should do.
At this point I'm thinking of just having the tooth pulled and hopefully bringing all this to a close in terms of the tooth pain bug wondering if that has downsides too.
Anyway, that's me! Off back to bed now!
Paul
