369994 tn?1225733799 Hi.. I was given prednisone for an allergic reaction to penicillin. My body broke out in spreading itching hives since Saturday. I started taking the Prednisone Monday afternoon along with benadryl since Sunday. At least 2-3 doses a day of benadryl. I'm taking 20mg of prednisone twice a day. I've taken 3 doses so far and it seems as if it works for a little bit but last night before bed, my hives were RED again and itching same as this morning they are itching like crazy.
Avatar n tn ve been diagnosed with the disease. The first time prednisone worked like a charm. I was taking off and back on it between flares for smaller flares, well the other big one it help a little through IV's but it didn't work. So yeah medicines do stop working. (If i was you I'd see if you can get on a state insurance thing since you do need meds, i'd apply.) But talk to your doctor about other medication such as remicade or humira.
4333925 tn?1359102442 I don't know what to do. I have done everything known to man to stop itching. Ice cold baths to try and numb my nerves. Every cream known, oatmeal bath, baking soda paste. NOTHING WORKS!!!!All this itching is only in my legs no where else. It feels like a twitching pin prick. The atarax isn't working so the on call dr prescribe me Prednisone. I have read that this is not good for my tx. But is it okay to take prednisone short term use?
Avatar f tn t get stressed out or overwork myself, I stay fairly well. The biggest problem is working out. I love working out, but I have to be very careful or I'll get sick the next day, like I have a little flu. It's so frustrating. I'm 58 years old but really remember being sick off and on since I was about 15 or 16 with urinary tract infections, had a deformed kidney removed.

262527 tn?1285381659 DWI) out of it becuase oral prednisone makes me nauseated and lose weight if I take it for more than two or three days. (yeah, I'm weird). Thanks for the great info. I feel better informed now, this was a nice thread to read! Thanks again Quix!
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 m tn I have been prescribed prednisone for a hearing loss issue today. Ive been und since July 2011. I have not yet taken my post tx vl test although all my blood work looks good. I was wondering if anybody has any info on this. I looked on past posts and found it all to be old and not real specific. Thanks ahead of time!!
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've been given prednisone 10mg for 30 days and was previously on 10 days of 25-50mg of HC. Is it ok for the liver and will it damage the adrenals or cause adrenal atrophy? thanks so much!!!
Avatar f tn I have been breaking out in hives for over a week now, as soon as my reactine wears off, dr prescribed 3 pills of prednisone that is not working im on day 2 am thinking I need reactine
Avatar f tn he was on Flovent for a couple years then it stopped working and he was in and out of the ER with asthma attacks and on and off prednisone, 60 mgs for weeks at a time. the best way the dr could describe what happened was by explaining that he developed a tolerance to his Flovent and he was switched to a different inhaled preventative inhaler. He was on Asmanex or a couple years and is now on Advair. He's been on Advair for three years and it seems to be doing the trick.
Avatar n tn Gender? Smoking will help you not grow taller (making you appear fatter for the same weight). Without smoking you might have the potential to easily grow another four or five inches, maybe more and become svelte and slim. At 110-115 lbs, you're at a good weight for your height. Just maybe 5 lbs generous but you're only 15, it's important to allow for grow spurts so that the most can made out of them.
Avatar f tn My midwife said that lots of women who are used to working out simply stop during their first trimester since they feel so bad. I'm ok with this as long as I can get back to it in the second semester. I'm so worried that I'm gaining too much weight in my middle already!
Avatar n tn I really want to start working out. For instance, walking more, squats, etc.. I knoe those are okay. But how do you moms feel about weight lifting? NOTHING heavy. 10 lbs & smaller with lots of repetition to tone my arms.
Avatar f tn In January I signed up for this class where I have to work out for 48 hrs by the end of semester in order to get an A. I have 35 hrs to go. With my first pregnancy I did not workout at all because it was my first and didn't want to take any chances, but I wish I did! What are some great ways to workout while pregnant? Can you lift 2.5/5 pound small dumbbells to just keep your arms tight? What are you ladies doing?
Avatar f tn Hi I been working out for 2 weeks have not lost 1 pound??
559862 tn?1311516637 Were any of you ladies working out rigorously prior to becoming pregnant and how long did you continue working out??? I also lift weights about once a week and wondered if anyone on here has had experience with lifting while pregnant. From what I've found (of course always ask your doc) that you can continue lifting just not your max and as you get farther in your pregnancy cut the weight in half?!?! Thanks in advance for any replies! p.s.
Avatar n tn Exercising is great for you, pregnant or not! If you were working out before pregnancy, it is generally fine to work out once pregnant unless you have a complication or at the end where the exertion might bring on labor. It might not be the ideal time to take up an intense work out routine if you never had one before . . . but if you're fit and used to it, it is great to keep doing it. More power to you.
Avatar n tn My wording may have been confusing, but I have been working out for about six months now, and the pain that I experienced about 3 months ago, was the pain in the back of my head and neck. At the time I figured strained muscle in my neck, or I did not breath right, so I didn't work out for a while and i was fine. Now, about 2 days ago, I get a massive headache AS SOON as i start working out, no pain in my neck, just a massive headache.
Avatar m tn About 3 weeks ago i started to use very hot water on a rag to clean my face after running and working out. Now my nose has turned white with red blotches. I really didnt know what had caused this but i am thinking it might be drying out of the skin, but when i try to use lotion on it and nasal spray to get the color back and remove the red blotches i find my skin stays the same just becomes more oily. Any ideas?
Avatar n tn I weight train and did before I was pregnant ( I'm 34 weeks) I do alot less weight then I did before but I do everything I did before, I didn't work out for the first 12 week's because I had light bleeding, otherwise doctors and midwives said it was okay to work out
Avatar f tn How many times a week should I work out and for how long? Im trying.to lose about 16 pounds maybe a little less.
Avatar f tn Im 5wks today with my 1st.. I was working out 3days a week before my pregnancy, if i continue to work out 3days a week will this affect my baby?
Avatar n tn Working out is fine!! Unless your doc says other wise. I worked out very hard before this pregnancy! However I have had to tone it down a little. I still lift light weights and have had to reach out and try some new things because I was finding the old exercises hard to do. I joined Pilates, because I clearly couldn't spend so much time on my abdominals! And I found it helped a lot for back aches and si pain. Cardio is a lot harder to do pregnant!
