Experiences with

Prednisone

Prescribed Prednisone today. Really scared about how it might make me feel. Anyone been on this? Did it make your anxiety worse?

Sorry I only had a limited experience with prednisone. No side affects

Hi dears, please give me some advice on prednisone medication in IVF short protocol. PREDNISONE - How long did you take it, how much mg, and when did you start and stop with prednisone in your IVF cycle? I have a short protocol with Gonal 225 now. I am now on day 3 with injections.

He also told me that the pain I have when reducing my prednisone dose under the 8 mg is caused by the drug prednisone. It’s the prednisone not the PMR that’s causing the pain when we try to reduce it.

To those who find they are in pain at the end of the day, try splitting the dose half in the morning and half at night. This was a big help for me.

I was pretty happy.....but i forgot to ask about if i need to taper off my 5 mg prednisone dose. the doc is out - so i was hoping that someone here knew. thanks

I have been off Prednisone for 11 months. I am OK, but still have weakened leg muscles and walk funny...bumping into things. Another problem is with Wha I believe ( no doctor yet) is Lymphatic Colitis. The problem started in August, 6 months after stopping Prednisone.

Orthopedist says prednisone & osteoporosis probably contributed to this. So I understand lowest dose prednisone ideal. Fatigue is way worse right now than other issues which are mostly nicely (knock on wood) being managed.

Am on MXT and prednisone 5mg. Was on 3G prednisone . The hands hurt a bit at the outer side

I'm on 20mg of prednisone for large vessel vasculitis. I have some of the typical side effects - insomnia, brain fog, irritability - but none of them too bad. One atypical symptom, though, is feeling a bit paranoid.

After reducing prednisone how long does it take for the reduction to take affect.

How do you differentiate a prednisone taper symptoms from your poly myalgia symptoms I tapered on Tuesday and my hips and shoulders are killing me and I feel flulike I want to get off prednisone but I just don’t know if it’s because of the taper or the poly myalgia coming back

Lupron/Eligard + Zytiga + prednisone. So far, so good.

I was recently put on Prednisone, starting at 60mg. Counts were at 20 and pretty much stayed at 20 the entire time. Has anyone else had no improvement in counts with prednisone? What did your doctor do for next steps?

Im at 6.5 mg prednisone. Im pretty active but always have a sleepy feeling like I want to close my eyes. Its hard to read for too long too now im thinking its not exhaustion but an eye problem . is this from prednisone or PMR?

So when, in the course of prednisone did this occur? I ask myself. I'll be following up with cardiologist in two weeks. Cholesterol has been ruled out. Levels are perfect. Doppler scheduled for next week. In wondering what your thoughts are on this. I'm on 7 mg of prednisone.

Could it be the reduction in prednisone ? Any suggestions would be helpful thank you

When I took the prednisone, it made my blood sugar skyrocket which in turn made me have tachycardia which is when I posted my last post. I feel better because I stopped taking the prednisone, but I was now prescribed Hydroxyzine. Has anyone taken this and how has it effected you?

Will being on too much prednisone negate the vaccine?
