Avatar f tn I tried to get into my doctor and was unable to for one week. Instead I went to a walk-in, they gave me ketocozonole 2% and a steroid 1%. Two weeks later, the spots are starting to lose the redness, just look a little white and dry now. However, the spots are slowly spreading downward. So, I am getting rid of the ones on my shoulders and chest, but they are on my stomach, legs and groin.
293157 tn?1285873439 Hi, I was on Prednisone for the month of January 08 prior to going to the Mayo Clinic - needless to say I was doing much better by the time my appointment came at Mayo in February, so they didn't see me "at my worse." I had a difficult time expressing just how bad I was in Dec. , Jan. - but had everything down on my timeline. My opinion is to take the Prednisone if it is causing discomfort, but make sure you take pictures of the rash now.
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 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.
1523893 tn?1301579774 Last week my neuro put me on a 3 day dose of Prednisone to hopefully offset the flare I was in the middle of. He put me on 3 days of oral pred, quite a huge dose (25 pills per day, each being 50 mg). I took my three days worth of pills hoping I would see a difference, but have yet to feel any better. In fact I am worse and I am wondering if I should see a physician about my symtoms. Weight gain, no energy, facial swelling, horrible fog, painful skin on my neck and shoulders.
Avatar m tn I had FESS and Setoplasty one week ago, today. I have noticed that the sit of my nose where my deviated septum had been seems to still be significantly inflamed and that the generalized area around where the maxillary sinus would be hurts as well. Perhaps the most annoying, is the fact that my upper left molars kill. is this likely just residual inflammation from the surgery itself?
Avatar f tn I only know of getting the iv HC in the UK from one doctor... He set up a diabetes pump with solu-cortef and set the pattern to be more like a normal diurnal rhythm. Prednisone is long acting and can have long term side effects. You may want to up sodium first? Unless you can get in the UK study. I am panhypopituitary too with no adrenals. I am on dex, worse than prednisone.
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 Usually it is just one or two bumps. Sometimes they go away within a day or two, sometimes it takes a week. Recently, I decided to try out a new product on my face. I had a bad allergic reaction to it within 5 hours of it being on my face. My face (especially cheeks) was very red, hot, and itchy. I washed my skin as best I could, and applied hydrocortisone cream. The redness and itchiness went away within a day.
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 n tn Took her back for one week checkup and vet explained large breed dogs some times react negatively to Prednisone by getting lethargic and haivng muscle atrophy. Cut her Prednisone in half and wanted to start her on Chlorambucil 2mg. I looked up that drug when I got home and learned it's used to treat cancer - and needs to be handled with gloves. I'm hesitant to give my dog that chemo-like drug.
Avatar f tn How can you ask IF prednisone is safe for a cat than go on to state you can give advice on dosages.....
Avatar m tn I took the medicines couple of weeks longer than I should have. Also, is taking 10 mg of the prednisone for 7 weeks considered taking it long term and high dosage and could it cause permanent side effects like the ones I have? Or are these related to the hypothyroid? I thought all the symptoms would go away with time but it doesn't get any better. Could these be a symptoms of the cushing syndrom? Look forward to hearing from you.
1716896 tn?1308880762 I was taking 20mg prednisone twice daily for 3 weeks, and my last dose was monday night. Today is Thursday, and I am developing an itchy rash over my whole body, do you think it is related? Also, my heart rate is also 104 at rest and I have a dull headache.
Avatar f tn My daughter has to be on it for a week because of severe hives..She is only 7 weeks pregnant.. Just wondering if there should be any concern,,it's a low dosage and hoping she comes off of it this week.
Avatar f tn also they prescribed the Prednisone again for 5 days. I took ONE AND REALIZED IT WORK IMMEDIATELY. The awful noise stopped. The said I should go to an ear doctor so I am; but here what I want to know. Could I continue to take Predinisone, since it works, if I only take it for short periods when I need it? I realize this isn't about asthma, but I saw your postings on predinisone. Please help.
Avatar f tn Ok so I went off of iv steroids and now have 2 weeks of prednisone to take and this is my 2nd day. I feel a crawling sensation on left side of face. I feel like the tip of my tongue in tingly, I am seeing stars every now and then and some stomach pain. Just need reassurance this is normal? I thought I was supposed to have energy but it 5pm and I'm tired. I dont like this feeling.
1540112 tn?1293016134 I was given a shot of prednisone. then 5 mg of prednisone. 5 pills the first day, titrate to one in 5 days. Along with 2 benadryls every 6 hours and zyrtec. The rash went down a lil. But as soon as I quit taking the prednisone it seemed the rash got twice as bad. Went back to doc and got 10 mgs of prednisone, take 3 for 3 days, then 2 for 3 days, then one. The rash went away a lil more. Now it seems as if the rash may be coming back again.
Avatar m tn Hi guys had cough for months prescribed 2 week cause prednisone cough went , now not taking and cough n irritation feeling like it’s returning any one else been on this ??
Avatar m tn That being said, if you consult a steroid calculator (you can search for one or I put one in the health pages) you will see pred is a medium to long lasting corticosteroid - HC is a short acting one - less side effects. HC is also more like what the body makes. I must say though most people get anxiety and all - take the pred with FOOD to help with the stomach issues - I think the pill bottle says to do that!!
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.
198419 tn?1360242356 I was on it recently for 5 days 50mg/day and I had the racing heart feeling, the mood swings, the psycho me feeling for about a week afterward! It was horrible and I sure don't want to take it again! How many mg were you taking...10mg x 4 days. You could always call your pharmacist and ask if this is normal or if you should have yourself looked at...that is what I would do anyway... Anyone have any other thoughts on this?
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 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?
