341655 tn?1240368839 I was recently diagnosed with adrenal insufficiancy and have been on prednisone 10mg and florinef .01mg 3 x's per day and I was wondering what happens if you get the stomach flu and are unable to take these meds by mouth? will you have to go in daily for steroid shots or a picc line and do them at home?
Avatar f tn Hi! I have adrendal insufficiency, along with hypothyroidism and diabetes insipidus, due to a brain tumor I had when I was 12. I have tried three different steroids to get my energy level up. I've been on prednisone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone and none of them work!
Avatar n tn My question is given the fact that I used anabolic steroids for 3-4 years (mostly winstrol oral, trenbolone acetate injectable, stanozolol injectable, testosterone injectable, and several prohormones which are precursors to anabolic steroids once converted by the liver) does this mean i have to wait longer to test conclusively for hiv?
Avatar f tn It sounds like some type of fat or tissue necrosis at the injection site. I know it can happen but don't know if the exact mechanism or cause is known. Would you mind saying which DMD are you taking and if you inject into the muscle or the subcutaneous fat? Have you been able to continue your injectable therapy? I don't think there are usually signs that a person might have this kind of reaction. It can happen randomly with no problems before or repeats ever again.
Avatar f tn problem is , i had a severe reaction in hospital when they gave me prednisone not sure how much they gave me but i went from my normal self to someone no one reconized.i wanted to kill someone..i was severley aggressive which is nothing like me.my question is ...would it be possible to have the same reaction to cortisone..has me concerned.when admitted to hospital and they say they are going to give me prednisone i apoligize first for what i will say later...
Avatar f tn I get this itchy red rash when i sweat, and I get hives when i sweat in the water. Claritin does not help, and I refused to take Prednisone from my doctor (for many reasons). Ive traveled to a lot of tropical places, so i took a natural anti-parasite medication, but it did not help. Is there a correlation between urticaria and a yeast overload? Also, where should i go next to try and relieve this problem? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have been required to be on prednisone for a month and a half - first as 500mg injectable forms x three days and then at 50 mg for 7 days then 40 for 7 days and so on until I taper through the month until I'm at 5mg for 7 days then stop. Is this a too short taper? Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar m tn If the lesions progress, you could go to the ER or consult your doctor - you would then need injectable antiallergic and steroid medications for your symptoms. Drink plenty of water and consult your skin specialist if the lesions persist. Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts. Keep us posted.
Avatar f tn The doctor at the clinic I go to (he is a GP, have not been able to see a rheumatologist yet) started me on 60mg/day of Prednisone roughly 3 months ago. After about a month he told me to reduce to 40mg/day. I did that, and then as I was starting to experience more and more side effects - and didn't have another appointment with my doctor for almost two months - I took it upon myself to taper down to 20mg/day.
796642 tn?1238442980 hey I understand exactly how you feel, I asked for the same thing...since I have PPMS I though a lower dose of Prednisone might help with pain, off balance, leg weakness etc.. I was told NO... it's not a good thing to be on... and that was the end of the discussion?? I know it's not good for you to be on it along time, someone in my family is on it for RA and takes it daily in lower doses... but need to go off it at times too. I don't know...guess we must wait and see..
Avatar m tn Injectable or oral steroids such as cortisone or prednisone have many pros and cons in the treatment of allergies in pets. They are inexpensive and work quickly and effectively to reduce itching, and for short term use they are relatively safe. However steroids have numerous side effects, such as increased thirst, increased urination, increased hunger, and weight gain.
Avatar f tn Discuss with your doctor the use of magnesium oil or a magnesium transdermal patch. Another route is to learn to give the injections yourself. Generic injectable magnesium is rather inexpensive.

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!!
Avatar f tn However, the prednisone accelerated the osteoarthritis in my knees and hips, and I am now trying to get off prednisone. And this is the real problem of prednisone. For most people with osteoarthritis in addition to whatever else, prednisone reduces healing in tissues that are inflamed (by reducing inflammation which is part of healing). This is not true for every kind of osteoarthritis..

Avatar n tn How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?
Avatar f tn I am wondering what kind of results has anyone had from the prednisone and how soon you may have noticed a difference. My biggest problems have been the shocking pains, tickling skin, and numbness in my hands. The numbness in my hands doesn't feel so bad as it did earlier today, usually it feels as if the circulation is being cut off or tightness. Thank you in advance!

471161 tn?1317190950 I was just wondering if anyone has had hair loss after being on Prednisone a while. I have been on and off of it for a year now, mostly on it, anywhere from 20mg. to 5 mg. daily. Just in the last month or so I have noticed more hair on the shower floor and in my hair brush. I don't know if it's the Lupus or the Prednisone. Maybe there's no way to tell. I was just wondering about anyone elses experience. Like I said, I have been on it a year and it's just now happening.
