Common Questions and Answers about Prednisone for allergy

My mom says it's good stuff too. Glad it works for you.
I have a friend that says she has the same thing and she takes Zyrtec and Pepcid at night, she says it is the combination of the 2 drugs, and then when her lip swells she has to take Prednisone. Is there anything I can give my 8 year old for the swelling?
Prednisone did nothing for me.
Since then I have been on various rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, cough syrups, singular, symbicort, albuterol etc. I had been treated at the allergy clinic years before for allergies and asthma. I have had to take about 8 days of 10mg prednisone about 4 -5 times in the last 8 months. It is about the only thing that helps my coughing and spitting up of phlegm.
I have never reacted to jewelry or shrimp, but am going to have a bloodtest for shellfish allergy. I'm down to 7.5 mg prednisone and mostly just having a fairly constant rash and itching now. I'm really hoping that the other symptoms don't come back. Betbri, what problems are you having? Were you given contrast IV for a CT? I wasn't aware of metallic content in contrast.
I never react the same each time. Xolair does work for me...no allergy medication or inhalers are needed while on the injection (which is great since I am allergic to Zyrtec....it gives me sever depression so I am afraid to take anything) and it has 'cured' me of COPD. If any knows of another therapy for high Ige levels...please share.
I've tried bronchodilators like dulera/advair, prednisone even but only prednisone seems to help my sleep. I started allergy shots, is this going to help my sleep breathing problems?
The second possible diagnosis was an allergy, this time treated by tapered prednisone tratmen for 12 days.
The prednisone seemed to help but on the 10th day of tratment the itching returned.
Now my doctor has advised using Triamcinolone Acetonide cream on the rash twice a day, but after 5 days still no success. Has anyone had a similar problem and found what the solution to curing it was??? Thanks for your help!
I have an issue with itching all over my body for many years. At first it was seasonal, only in winter months.Now, it is severe and every day. Prednisone works, however, I have to be on high doses and there are other serious side effects. With time, the nature of my itch has changed. It is not pure itch now. I feel a prickly pain under the itch. I also have idiopathic neuropathy and a bladder disease, interstitial cystitis, which is thought to be auto immune and, or allergy.
She is very concerned and considering not having the procedure done. She was recently in the hospital for a week with pancreatitis but is still not feeling well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As to your hives, usually they are a symptom of allergy. Have you been tested for allergies? Prednisone is bad news. Be very careful with it. Are you being treated for your thyroid problem? The short of breath business might be asthma, brought on by allergy. The dizzinesss, confusion, weakness could be hypoglycemia.
Often hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia and adrenal malfunction are connected. I would see an endocrynologist. And I would see an allergist too.
One thing many people do not realize is that if a dog has a food allergy that it takes up to 6 weeks for that allergy to not affect the dog once the food has been switched over to another food. When you are checking a dog over for a food allergy, you cannot give him ANY OTHER type of food OR any types of treats. He may only have ONE food, no treats. Finding a food that will not cause problems can take several months of hit and misses.
Probably a systemic allergy of some sort. My guess would be allergy to either the Prednisone or what ever other medication you were taking prior to the Prednisone. I'm having a similar issue with a different medication and will likely have to do the same thing.
i have been on 6 prednisone tapers so far this year and have been doing allergy shot for 1.5 yrs with next to no improvement in my asthma. my question is, i know all the good , bad and ugly about prednisone but i HAVE TO be able to live my life!!! does anyone know of any alternatives that i might discuss with my doctor. i don't really want pred daily but i just have to reclaim my life that i've lost for the last 3yrs.
I used to be able to sustain without the prednisone for longer periods of time. Now I cannot go for more than a two weeks without the prednisone before I start having severe attacks again. My prednisone is taking a very hard toll on my body. Weight gain, bruising, insane mood disorders, last week I smiled and my lip split. My kidney pain is excrutiating. Now my teeth are chipping. I constantly lose the feeling in my legs and my body is retaining so much fluid.
ve struggled with allergies all my life (severe eczema, mild asthma, very nasty urticaria) but at the end of last year I had a really bad bout of CFS (or CFS like symptoms) and then early this year my allergies started flaring up terribly. My doctor put me on prednisone which I was on and off for six weeks until I could get to see the allergist who essentially told me my only allergy was dustmites and there was nothing he could do - gave me steroid creams.
