prednisone and the sun

Something I do is I will find a tree that gives great shade, and put a sprinkler out so it mists me a bit and lay out in the yard. Being outside and seeing the sun brightens my day and I am staying out of the suns rays and staying cool. I usually will take a few advil or a Tramadol first just to kick start my body on fighting the inflammation. Muscle relaxers help too!! I am not sure what to tell you as far as the stinging urine. I have had mild kidney disfunction from my last flare.

yeah your doctor is right it is from the sun (but only if u r having some storied for body building) it gets very hot inside your body and with the sun it causes the redness it starts from under lips and goes on........you could just eat some fruits so it will keep u cool ....there is no medicine for it .......it will go in a few weeks ...........

thank you for your response, i have been off of prednisone for 3 weeks, the first trigger happened while i was on prednisone, so i think that started the sun sensitivity,, i was on 40 mg at the time( for what my pc, and i thought was poison ivy) and went for a swim in the sun, and then bright red veins showed up on my forehead, my whole head started to tingle, and after a shot of solumedrol, i ended up with a rash on my forehead,, that burned, never itched, only when it traveled near my eyes

I had minor inflammation in my chest and was getting horrible nasty low grade fevers from sun exposure. I started taking 10mg of Prednisone once a day and I got 2 significant malar rashes that came with 24 hours of fever and massive body aches. Then ended up in the hospital for a major Pleurisy attack with possible blood clot in my lungs. So I have been taken off the steriods. We are not sure why my body reacted like that, who knows, maybe it would have been worse with out the Prednisone.

I have seen 6 vets (2 clinics but different vets ) tried Antibiotics, prednisone, baths, dips, skin scrapings and blood work and nothing shows up. The prednisone helped but once off of it she went straight back to BAD. She scratches constantly and is bald all over her back, neck, ears and face. the only area that she doesn't seam to scratch is that which she cant reach with her paws or objects (she will get under the coffee table and use it on her back) .

ON JUNE 25,2012 I STARTED C/O OF JOINT PAIN, FEVER,HAIR LOSS AND FATIGUE. I AM FLARING AND BACK ON PREDNISONE. I AM 67Y/O AND HAVE RA AS WELL. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUPUS 4 YEARS AGO.

I had a sun spot biopsied and the GP noted I had a possible autoimmune rash ( I have a malar rash) and the pathologist said I had chronic inflammatory cells around the subepithelial connective tissue. I have had high ESR and CRP, low iron, elevated liver enzymes etc and have responded to prednisone but need an official diagnosis. What would rosacea histopathology show up as? I'm heading towards another biopsy but if the one I had done for the sun spot is sufficient I won't.

ve gone to the doctor many times and the dermatologist a few. The doctor told me it was rosacia and gave me a metronidazole cream. I used this when I did have a rash and the next it was unbearable. I didn't use it anymore and I ended up just taking prednisone. Prednisone is the only thing I've found to work although I don't take it often because I know its bad for you.

I too was told by my rheumy a year ago to stay out of the sun, when I was first diagnosed. I'm an outdoor person with a perpetual tan and never burn. I can always be found working in the yard, or in the pool in the summer. Last summer I stayed out of the sun from July on because of his warning. Recently I asked my PCP why I needed to stay out of the sun, what would happen if I didn't, etc?.

I was having random face flushing as well especially when I was on oral prednisone and also the IV steroids. It was so obvious that the neuro in the ER was checking every part of my body wondering if I was having some kinds of reaction to the antibiotic I was taking. Of course she prescribed an IV push of 250mg of solu medrol because of this and guess what? More flushing! How do you know when you are getting the flushness?

I have the same symtoms..and under active thyroid. I love the sun and outdoor events, but I get soooo drained and tired. I drink plenty of water and I sleep great..dont make sence? I take Synthroid and my dr say my thyroid levels are fine. I guess I just have to pace myself?

I too have the tingly burning sensation after 10 days on doxy and being at beach for one hr.. its on the tops of my hands and feet! If you don't want this feeling don t go in the sun! And I don't burn from the sun.. just finished meds today was on it for an abscecc brewing in my neck.. so I don't think its lyme disease related...

Good evening~ My sister is having this same type of reaction (x2 days) with it seeming to worsen a little with benadryl and prednisone (steroids). Did you rash clear up, and did you find out what the cause was? Was there a particular medication that cleared it up? Would appreciate any input you can give. Hers is quite severe looking. Thanks!

It didnt help, since this was the first time and I was camping I thought maybe I got bite my a insect (no sun block). That wasnt it. My face and hand was the only thing the sun touch because i had long sleeves on. In the morning my face was swollen veryyyy itchy and clear fluid was on my face. This year same thing I used sun block and that seem to irriate it more immediately I started to itch on face and arms, but not bad.

They itch and are bright red. The only thing that seems to help is a steroid shot and prednisone pack. My face and ears will peel almost like a sunburn. Does this happen to anyone out there? If I sweat during the night I will get itchy. Gold Bond medicated powder helps tremendously. Put it on before you go to bed in areas that you sweat. Neck, chest and even on the insides of your elbows. It does help!

Get her a great new and high condo that she does not have to jump up to but can climb up to and bask in the beautiful warmth of the sun, and SEE all the visual treats (Birds, Bugs, lizards, etc). This is as close to heaven as a cat can get. Most of all YOU must feel upbeat --stress and negativity is something Sami will sense. She needs to live through your optimistic view of her world. .....and ya know , there are hearing aids for cats---yep that's right.

Over the past 4 yrs., I have had a reaction that seems to happen 1X each yr. The reaction occurs when I am traveling. What happens is first I feel my forehead is tight. I notice over time, swelling in my forehead as if there is a fluid. Then over the course of a day or so, the swelling (fluid) drops. I feel it dips down my nose, my eyes are far apart. The swelling takes over the shape of my nose, causing me to not look like myself.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I found out from the MS nurse that the rash I have all over my face, neck, and back is a side effect of my IV Solu-Medrol treatment and the taper dose of prednisone and is not a rash at all, but is acne. I thought the rash was from my sun exposure while in Mexico earlier this week and that the steroids were probably the culprit. So that was half right. But the nurse said it was acne yet it feels more like a rash to me.

Today I went to the store and was in the sun from the car to the store and back...the rash looks like it is getting better but the itch seems to be intensifying...has anyone had a similar experience and if so when did the crazy itching abate? AGGGHHH!!!

However, my doctor uses it himself for his own auto-immune issues, and feels it is very safe and very effective. He plans to wean me off the prednisone next month, and says that because of the Methotrexate, we should be able to wean without the typical backlash (flare-up of symptoms). I always make sure I eat before I take my meds. So far I have had no issues with side effects. I am careful to stay in the shade and use sunscreen, since it is supposed to increase sensitivity to sun.

I have seen 25 doctors and am desperate for a solution. Prednisone is the only thing that will take it away and I can not take any more of that. Have tried almost every type of anti-itch antihistamine cream out there. PLEASE HELP - My profile picture is a photo of my arm. SPF clothing etc helps but does not totally protect. I can send more photos if needed.

I personally find that time in the bright sun, even on a beautiful day throws me into fatigue and spasms... I know wear long skirts to keep the sun off my legs. For me, its a bit extreme, sun hitting my skin literally makes a tightening feeling. Think of having a facial done, that tightening feeling you get as the mask dries on your skin.

Natural Vitamin D Normally, the body receives adequate vitamin D from 10-15 minutes of daily exposure to the sun. The skin absorbs vitamin D, which it stores and utilizes as needed. Supplements, by binding to the Vitamin D receptor, block natural vitamin D hormone. Marshall?

In april of 2009 i was walking in a store when suddenly my legs got heavy and I felt as if I could not lift them. The next day I had double vision all day and then my eye turned red and became painful. I eventually went to the doctor for my eye and was told that I had Uveitis. The immediately tested me for auto immune issues and Ms but said that it was all negative. The Uveitis lasted 10 months.
