Avatar f tn m feeling a little better about the high dose all at once.
Avatar f tn At the time I went along with it because I was pregnant so I was fine with the low dose but I thought once I had the baby he would raise the dosage. When I went back after having the baby and asked if he was going to raise the dosage he said no lets just leave it at 5mg and see how it goes for 6 months. I have'nt had a flare up but the large lump, which according to the breast specialist is infammed breast tissue is still the same no changes.
1150481 tn?1270490136 Hi all, I heard some clinics use steroids like prednisone during IVF transfer. Is there anyone who used it in their IVF and had success? If so what was the dosege of prednisone and how long did you take it?
Avatar f tn Often I can keep my patients comfortable on prednisone if I start to reduce the dosage to find the minimum effective level. Prednisone is not like antibiotics in such that they do not need to be given at a minimum dosage...resistance is not a concern. Atopic dermatitis can be proven by a veterinary dermatologist though usually a regular vet can "tentatively" diagnose it. Shampooing once a week with a medicated shampoo helps remove allergens from the skin.
Avatar m tn My dog jumped up on the counter and got my other dogs Med bottle and ate all the pills and chewed the bottle before I saw you. Will this hurt her?mit was a very low dosage of prednisone about 7 days worth.
Avatar f tn I was told to take 3 20 ml pills all at once, once a day, for 5 days. Since I took them earlier I have been a mess. I'm over heating, my stomach is knots, I'm crying and pissed and depressed all at the same time, nauseated. Should I just get the dosage lowered or just stop taking it? It's already caused a small panic attack.
Avatar n tn Did you take your pred all at once or spread throughout the day?
699217 tn?1323438700 My doctor gave it to me to help the swelling in my elbow, and she said it would also help my allergies which have been horrible for several months now. Here in Texas all the trees and flowers or whatever lol are blooming and they hate me, I have suffered somethin awful. She gave me 5 mg. and the bottle says to take one every day, she gave me 60 of them. Do any of you have any experience with this drug?
Avatar f tn Are you under the care of a pulmonary specialist. Also other comorbid conditions can aggravate the asthma, such sinusitis, GERD and unknown allergies. You really should be tested for allergies, if you haven't already. GERD can be silent and produce a cough as it's only symptom. If another cause can't be found then an increase in inhalers is a good idea. How many puffs/day of your Symbicort do you use? You can use safely up to 8 puffs/day.
Avatar n tn How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?
Avatar f tn About 4 weeks ago I got a bad poison oak rash, got hives, bad itching. Went to the doctor and was prescribed Hydroxyzine & Prednisone for 5 days. This made a huge difference but, once the prednisone wore off the rash back full force. I returned to my doctor and was prescribed Prednisone for longer and a higher yet decreasing dosage over 7 days. Sure enough, the rash dried out and healed, itching subsided until about 2 days after finishing the course of Predisone.
1580703 tn?1651904887 at what dosage dose and length of time does prednisone cause brain damage and memory problems, thinking problems? thanks!
Avatar f tn The first IV treatment seemed to help, but only for a day. Once I began the prednisone, my symptoms have gotten noticeably worse. I've been taking them for about 18 days (currently on the 30mg dosage). The neuro said he's doubting MS because the predinsone isn't working. My question is this, has anyone ever experienced worse symptoms on prednisone? They symptoms aren't different, just worse. As a side, I really appreciate all the advice and support I've gotten here.
Avatar f tn Hi mary I was on it for a while and it did not make me feel well at all. I know some say it makes them feel great but it sure did not work that way for me.
Avatar f tn I have some prednisone left over from a spider bite last week at the emergency room. I need to know if I can cut them up for 2 of my 9 cats that have visited my home and decided to stay. please do not say go to a vet since I am 69 and on Medicare and Medicaid. this is a town with no low cost clinics. I feel so bad for them . I cannot stand it. I have tried everything in my medicine cabinet including antifungal powder,spray and liquid. Also tried topical a .
Avatar f tn Has anyone had to take prednisone during their pregnancy? If so did it harm your baby in anyway?
Avatar f tn Results of ENT exam. Can't I ever have anything simple.........why do there always have to be complications. I'm going to resign from thhis.if I can just figure out where "this" is! The ENT specialist did a thorough exam, having to drag out the longer speculum etc. to try to get up my right nostril. His results......I have scarring in my throuat, but vocal cords look good, my right eardrum slightly scarred, no fluid in inner ear.
Avatar n tn My vet has put him on prednisone 100 mg twice daily for 5 days and then 100mg daily and tapering down from there. This seems like a really high dosage and I'm concerned about giving such a high dose. He is already weakened from the illness and don't want to make him worse. He has had multiple tests and a biopsy and they still don't know what the cause is. thanks for your help.
Avatar n tn I needed the prednisone for poison sumac and called my doctor (she is my new PC) and she called in 7 20mg tablets to be taken 1 once a day for 7 days. Now I know by experience that they usually taper prednisone starting at the higher dose down to a lower dose and then stop. I have also had this in other circumstances other than poison Ivy. This disturbed me a bit that she did not do this or maybe did not know to do this.
Avatar m tn Prendisone gives you energy, helps you breath better, I was on it after my accident and started last tx with it. I took it for a ruptured adrenal gland and lung issues. Short term it does give you energy and helps with many things, long term my understanding is can cause a lot of other damage. I know it took a long time to be weaned from it, For me it was a long time, Adrenals are little glands that control a lot.
Avatar f tn Thanks for responding to my post. I've been on Prednisone pills for about a month now. The initial dose was 30mg, which immediately made all the skin rashes go away. Based on the pathologic reports, the dermatologist assumed I had an allergic reaction. No fungus or microbes were found in the biopsy. As soon as they started tapering the Prednisone, the symptoms came back and by the time I was on 10mg, I broke out all over my body again.
Avatar m tn Thus, irrespective of dosage and duration, your childhood treatment with prednisone and antibiotics will in no way hinder your ability to produce antibodies had you acquired HIV now as an adult. Your test results are accurate. Other than for persons who have recently taken anti-HIV therapy in efforts to prevent infection and PERHAPS profoundly immunosuppressed persons such as those taking cancer therapy, "late seroconversion" is about as close to an urban myth for you as it gets.
Avatar f tn I just had a relapse a week ago and was takin 10mg prednisone 2x a day for 4 days. I noticed all I got was massive headaches and still have problems walking when I start off to walk. Prednisone seem to make me feel jittery and not do anything to help. I go to see my dr. this coming Monday. Hope my Dr.
Avatar m tn My 70 lb 12 year old golden retriever has a skin condition and was on Prednisone last year for about three weeks. She broke out with the same rash a few days ago, and (stupidly) instead of taking her to the vet, I gave her the same dosage of medicine that we had left over from the last time. I gave her 20mg in the morning, 20 in the evening, and then realized that I didn't have enough to complete the course for three weeks.
Avatar m tn t even aware have happened, will his skin (on his arms mostly) return to normal at some point? will all of the bloating in his face and belly disappear at some point? All opinions accepted.....doctors refuse to admit his skin damage is due to Prednisone, but I have no doubt WHATSOEVER.
Avatar m tn ve been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and have had constant flare ups since November 2009. When the flare ups start my GI specialist puts me on prednisone at a high dose and every week I taper off. While on the high dose of prednisone I feel much better but as the dosage decreases the flare up start. Recently I was admitted into Hospital with severe abdominal pains and weight loss. I also started having lower back pain that acts up mostly at night.
Avatar n tn a dermatologist prescribed prednisone starting july and tapered off on november 2007 and they disappeared for a time but would show up once in a while (even when i was on prednisone). the doctor would increase my dosage of prednisone (and thus lengthened the tapering off process), that's why i ended up taking it for about 5 months. however, i still have them. aside from prednisone, is there any other treatment that is available for me?
