prednisone and working out

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.

I was on Hydrochlorothiazide about 4-5 months and it was working to keep my blood pressure down and then all of a sudden started breaking out in red raised welts. I went to dermatologist and he said it was a reaction to the hydrochlorothiazide and to stop taking it. I stopped and within two days it started to clear up. My primary care doctor then put me on Bisoprolol and I started getting hives 100 times worse! I have had them ever since, even though I stopped taking the medicine!

I am 31 and was diagnosed with crohn's disease about two and a half years ago, but had symptoms for years before. I used to have problems with making it to the bathroom in time which was a horrible feeling, but I havn't had much pain. Since being diagnosed with crohn's I have tried a few different medicine's. The first was Prednisone, then ASA, then another, and finnally Methotrexate and prednisone together which seemed to help tremedously.

Ribavaring comes with its share of side effects. If the Prednisone your doc prescribed is working and you plan to call tomorrow then be sure and ask about how about the implications. While you are at it maybe you could ask for a topical in case this happens again. My arms and neck get really itchy. I am certain it is some type of contact dermatitis but and I have yet to pin point what triggers it. On treatment it was worse when it happened but it is manageable.

I have been sick and my doctor ordered me to take a regiment of medication being prednisone, doxycycline and furosemide. I have been on the prednisone for 2 weeks now and he has ordered me to take 5 mg every 8 hours (he gave me 80 pills) Would the prednisone effect my HIV results? Thank you.

I took prednisone 60mg plus 2 steroid dose packs plus a short acting and long acting steroid injection in the past 6 weeks. I have been off all steroids x 3 weeks and am suffering from weakness, tremors, shaking inside and out, feelings of anxiety, shortness of breath, muscle cramps in my legs and feet and extreme lethargy. I'm thinking this must be an adrenal issue. Has anyone had these symptoms after prednisone? I am so anxious and shaky from mid morning until late afternoon.

I just finished taking Prednisone 2 days ago. And now I have a yeast infection. Is it safe to take Fluconazole now?

If I am sick, or have pushed too far, I take steroids at night or anytime I need to compensate for what my body needs as I cannot rise to the occasion. But I have no adrenals. I can sleep through them as long as I have not taken too much.

ok, man i have asthma too well, i quit smoking a few yrs ago so now my lungs are good but prednisone made me nutz has your doctor given you other options such has zopenex or pulmicord these are mild steriods and if you use them in your nebulizer, and slowly taper off the prednisone your body will have a little help what dose do you take, how many a day?

using prednisone for shortness of breath, It dont seem to be working Lung seems to be able to take in more are but shortness of breath not changed. Getting pain in my back lower ribs, Been on Pred 8 for 4 days, 6 for 3 days - 4 for 3 days and finishing up with 2 for 3 days 5mg, I am aslo on ventolin, Sprivia, and symbicort... any suggestions or advice ? I also just finished 6 Moxifloxacin HCL 400 mg, Nothing seems to be doing the job.

is this working for you ?I dont think I would like the prednisone is that all the treatment offered by the doctor ?

t slept much in a week, my pupils were dialated. My whole gyroscope was out of wack. On the way out I talked to a lady there and I told her I was bipoler and was on prednisone for joint pain. She told me that prednisone can bring on a psychotic phase in normal people and with a pre-existing condition it can be really ugly. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

I fully agree that steriods are not good and I look forward to getting off the prednisone soon because I really dont know if its working. I have still been on and off in pain, but the prednisone has worked better than the other drugs. For now, Im just hopefully to put the crohns in remission and to get back to feeling almost normal again.

s and he said there were no signs of fluid and did some tests and confirmed my eardrums were working just like they should, but my hearing loss has become moderate to severe, and pointed out that I'm not a kid anymore!!Hah. But I know how my hearing was a month ago, and I know something has gone wrong. Its hard to blame tx as it was fine the whole time and even for several wks after. The head cold and all the infections that come with that is what I feel has caused all this grief.

Do some research on the long term effect of prednisone, and you might want to reconsider (prednisone can cause damage to liver as well...). Since your liver is targeted, look into taking milk thistle (silymarin..protects liver from toxins) as a supplement. Orthodox MDs seldom give much attention to letting the body heal itself, they need to prescribe toxic drugs.

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

I was recently working out, and as soon as I started to lift, my very first set, i got a massive headache and could not do anything else. It happened to me once before, but it was a different type of headache it was in the back of my head and my neck so i didn't work out for a week or two and i was fine. Since then i have been going to the gym for about two months and it hasn't happened. Like i said, this is a different headache. I just started taking creatine if that means anything?

I am in my 3 trimester now and I still work out and run. I did a marathon 3 months ago and just yesterday I did a 2 hour cycle class for the new year and my normal weights. Just listen to your body.

I'm 33 weeks and have been working out everyday. Just don't over do it and don't lift anything really heavy. I use 8 or 5 pound weights on my arms. But if you are unsure just check with your doctor.

m a body builder and very very active with lifting heavy. Yesterday was the first time back in the gym in about two weeks (moved out of state) and well I forgot about the 25lb rule. BUT I still lifted extremely light. 85lb free weight barbell squats, with 35lb dummbbell shrugs and 25lb tricep overhead extensions, and 45lb plate to chin shrugs... I am 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant.. should I just stick to cardio and every single thing I go to lift stay at 25lbs ??

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.

I go to the gym here and there to take walks on treadmills and squats and few lifting here and there. i want to gain the right amount of weight for my baby, without gaining too much weight as well.. im only 11+4 days, i hope im not puting my baby to risk. but i want to stay healthy and fit as well. any one else concern aboug weight gain..?

I am pregnant with a my second baby and I am not backing down on working out. With my last pregnancy, I worked out 5-6 times a week for 40 to 60 minutes. I had a very healthy pregnancy and baby! The best part was I was able to bounce back very quickly post baby. My current schedule consists of spin class twice a week, elliptical,running (just slowed down a bit),stairstepper, and a cardio mix up class. I am just more careful and I don't push myself as hard.

I am one of the lucky ones you so far (shot 12 tonight) that has not suffered with sx but I do feel so wiped out in the afternoons and by the time I get off work and get home I do not feel like doing anything. I had hoped (know that sounds sick) that I would lose weight on tx but Oh no not me, not so lucky... if anything have gained. *****.... I am not sure what to do but to look toward Dec. when I will be finished with tx and have energy.. I agree with the goal sitting...

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!

I'm 31 weeks and just started working out again since I first found out I was pregnant. I have an athletic build and am in pretty good shape. I keep my jogging at a minimum speed and under a mile a day and lift very light weights not to overdo it. Doctor says its fine but everyone tells me I shouldn't run. Anybody else in the same boat and if so up until what week in your pregnancy did you stay active?

How long after you have your baby can you start working out?? Like sit ups and stuff in the abdominal area??

I walk on the treadmill for atleast 35min to an hour squats and the stationery bike and eat your greens and fruits no fast food try and make yourself a fruit smoothie those are always yummy n add some spinach youll be fine good luck mommy
