Avatar f tn m 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow ill be 30 weeks and yesterday I had an asthma attack the doctor gave me prednisone to take for 5 days once he let me go home.
Avatar f tn I also have panhypopituitarism. I have been on 5mg of prednisone since my dx in 96. I have been doing some research and am interested in finding out more about constant subcutaneous infusion of hydrocortisone. My days start off OK but by 5pm I am very fatigued.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I took 10mg prednisone and then I'm coming down now with fever- the flagyl maybe didn't work completely for this possible amoeba infection EH
Avatar f tn I have had tinnitus and vertigo for many years. 7 years ago I was put on prednisone for myalgia pain. My pain went away but it had no affect on my hearing. It did affect my belly....it bloated out like a pregnant woman...lol...I got off prednisone back in january of this year. If you can avoid it then avoid it. If you need it for other reasons and not for hearing then I guess you have to continue taking it until it does not good for you.
1580703 tn?1651904887 thanks for any advice! I've been prescribed prednisone for 1 month at 10mg/day and heard that it can be bad for the liver and cause adrenal damage. Is this true?
1657910 tn?1302372061 but let me know what your opinions and experience is. I have been on prednisone (5 mg now) and Imuran (100 mg now) for a total of 8-9 mos with no relief or fixing of my breast issues. At the end of this month if nothing has changed (which it hasn't), my dr. wants to increase the imuran to the highest dose of 150 mg and keep the prednisone at 5 mg. and try that for another 2 months. And then if that doesn't work, I guess we will then move on to methotrexate.
Avatar f tn I went to Doctor today and he put me on prednisone for the week. I am supposed to do 40mg for 2 days, 30 for 2 days, 20 for 2 days, and 1 for 2 days. I took my first dose today and wonder how long it takes for it to work? I still don't feel great which could also be the cold I suppose. Who gets a cold in the summer anyway? Awful.
Avatar f tn Hopefully not. Prednisone, by the way, is a steroid. It reduces the inflammation and selling and that's why they gave it to you. It's not an antibiotic that works on bacteria or anything. Take your current medication as directed. Why do they think you are getting so many sore throats that are not viral?
Avatar n tn my 9 year old dog has been on prednisone for 6 weeks for ITP and we are weaning her off now.
Avatar n tn I've been battling molluscum and have nasty eczema and a bit of a secondary infection from picking the bumps. Dr. prescribed me prednisone and ciproflox. I'm sooo itchy all over but i don't want to take prednisone if it's going to make the molluscum worse. Is the prednisone a bad idea?
Avatar f tn I've been on 3-10 mg of steroids (prednisone is how it is called here) for the last five months because I continue to have mild to severe attacks that need me to have a portable oxygen tank a nebulizer and of course my broncodilator inhaler wherever I go. This dosage has worked well for me, varying it depending on my symptoms.
1580703 tn?1651904887 there may be anti-inflammatory compounds in azithromycin which could be a future drug with research my headaches are helped by prednisone and my circulation is better on prednisone. when I have asthma I feel pain at the temples and trouble thinking.
Avatar f tn Hi I am on day 4 of a prednisone taper for sudden low frequency hearing loss and tinnitus. I am concerned about side hearing loss, and side effects of medication. I thought prednisone increased energy, I am exhausted. My tinnitus keeps changing ears and volumes. Has anyone else experienced this and what other side effects have you experienced after 3 weeks on this stuff?
Avatar f tn I take 800 ADVIL when the pain gets really bad and when it is unbearable I go on PREDNISONE for 7 days. I do not do the prednisone more than 2X a year.
Avatar f tn While looking for a prescription one day I found a bottle of prednisone that was prescribed to my partner for her chest infection. In desperation I started taking the 20mg tablets daily. I was about to give up by the 5th day when all of a sudden my pain started reducing! By the 7th day I was almost pain free! I was getting stuck into the housework and playing on the floor with my son! I was ecstatic! I've now been taking them for about 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn She told me she thought I might have COPD, and if things did not clear up she also gave me a prescription for Prednisone. I told her I do not want to take it, but she gave me the prescription anyhow in case I needed it. I am looking for some information myself as to what is it supposed to do for you.
198419 tn?1360242356 I had a lot of energy, and felt warmish all the time - but my heart rate was pretty normal, for me. I was on it for three weeks during my last flare.
Avatar f tn I have primary progressive MS and have had foot drop which has gotten worse the last few weeks. My Nuero Dr. gave me a prescription for Prednisone, 7, 20mg tabs a day for 3 days without any weening off before stopping. Isn't 140 mg at once too much? I am also scared of all the side effects.
471161 tn?1317190950 Karajo, thanks for the idea about MSM. I have heard of it before but never taken it. Like Katika29 asked, do you take it all at once during the day or several dosages to add up to 3000mg.? Maybe it says on the bottle if I go to the store and look at it. Also, in detoxifying your body, does it remove the medicines out of your system?
699217 tn?1323438700 For me prednisone was both a lifesaver and the devil drug. I have Crohn's disease and if it were't for the pred I probably would have lost a good portion of my colon. Then I became prednisone dependant and every time I would try to wean down I got so sick-once my adrenals crashed and I ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks. I was never on a very high dose-maybe 40 to begin with and then tapered down.
Avatar f tn i am on prednisone and verapamil for my migraines. been on them for fifteen days. today my cheeks started to swell and feel painful. its hard to open my mouth and drink could this be b/c of the the prednisone? im calling the dr tomorrow morning.
Avatar f tn hi i am on prednisone for my relapse it makes me feel ill and very itchy anyone else been on it?
Avatar f tn I was prescribed 1 20 mg tblet per day for 5 days. The awful buzzing stopped for 3 weeks after I used it for 5 days.Then it started again. So I went to ER and they said I had so much wax in my right ear that it was impacted and covering my ear drum so they cleaned it out. I had no buzzing for two days; also they prescribed the Prednisone again for 5 days. I took ONE AND REALIZED IT WORK IMMEDIATELY. The awful noise stopped.
Avatar f tn 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. I have done it for a long time, but my doctor switched me over to pulmicort 400ug x 4 puffs/day and Oxeze 12ug x 3 puffs/day.
