Post-op!

[sporty333]

Hi all

I've just had an operation on my nose. I've been prescribed a strong antibiotic, some steroids and something to line my gut. I'm desperate not to crash again like I did when i had this op early last year. I wasn't on any thyroid or adrenal meds back then though.

Does any one have any advice re recovery? I'm taking Erfa and Nax/NA....I was thinking though, should I stop the Nax/NA while I'm on the Prednisolone?

Thanks in advance

What is the "something to line my gut"?

Rod

It's called Omeprazole rod and I'm informed it lines the gut ready for the steroids. Interesting hey!

Took one (very reluctantly), vomited and never took another. But that was a different issue.

Yeah I didn't take this lining drug before when I had prednisone so why this time? Are you saying its not necessary rod?
