Avatar m tn I am a 24 year old male. I was prescribed antibiotics and Prednisone pills and was given a Prednisone shot at an urgent care center for a bad allergic reaction/rash on my ankles that were caused by insect bites while I was in Costa Rica. Right as I was going off the prescriptions, I noticed a sudden decrease in the intensity of my orgasms. One day, things were normal, and then the next I noticed it immediately. There isn't any feeling coming from between my legs (prostate region possibly?
Avatar f tn Hello, I had a really bad nasal blockage due to an allergic reaction and went to the Ears, Nose, and Throat DR to get it checked out. They gave me a shot (cortisol?), Prednisone for 6 days, and Monteklast to take for a couple of weeks. Also, a nasal spray every morning and night. That was about 4 months ago and I have been off of all of the Meds for about 3 months.
Avatar f tn I am on 40mg humira every other week. June 2007 - March 2008 I was on Enbrel and prednisone. I started on 10mg prednisone daily in June of 2007 and reduced it to 2 mg daily currently since December 2007. I am also very fatigued, have no libido, skin rashes here and there, my hands have "hot spots" of red and swollen flesh which moves around every few days. I also experience incontinence (I have never had children), slight depression and lethargy.

1346429 tn?1303874854 Yes yes yes crazy high libido now that I am pregnant. I hear it's from all those fun pregnancy hormones plus increased blood flow down there. However some people have a decrease in desire. My OB says no sex till after first trimester bc I am considered high risk. No exercise either.
Avatar f tn I had been on Lexapro (for anxiety as they think I had TIA in Sept 08) and was also put on Prednisone in Feb for respiratory problem. He thought those were culprits to the weight gain but I was NOT convinced of that as he then put me on daily diuretic and then 2x daily for M/W/F...and after 6 wks it had not helped weight issue either. He diagnosed me as hypothyroid about 8 wks ago and I was taking 25mg of synthroid daily. After 1 wk of Synthroid I had a period...
Avatar m tn I am 38 years old and married. I was perfectly normal and having high libido with no problems of erection. I have been using A-Z multivitamin tablets (either centrum or boots) along with one or two fish oil capsules for the last 3 years. I had an ongoing hair fall since my teen ages, which sometimes slowed down, specifically when I was back home in Pakistan. When I was in the UK, the hair fall increased. It's in the family. It never completely stopped.
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.

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!
Avatar n tn What is the effect of sudden discontinuation of steroid pill prednisone 20 mg per day tablet after taking it for 4-5 months.
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.

How long were you one the prednisone? I'm already obese and am really worried about the weight gain from prednisone. I'm hoping that I won't be on this medication long.

2048234 tn?1330814100 I was put on prednisone for my lungs. its a 7 day treatment but I am reading its very addictive. what do I do? I dont want to get addicted to anything else.
Avatar n tn I have heard that statement numerous times about being weaned off of Prednisone. Why were you taking Prednisone? I am trying to avoid the use of it if possible. I just went to the doctor very sick with congestion, fever, cough, nasal drip, sinus pressure. She told me she thought I might have COPD, and if things did not clear up she also gave me a prescription for Prednisone. I told her I do not want to take it, but she gave me the prescription anyhow in case I needed it.
