I tried, and after being off it for a month, I was practically bed-bound because of the inflammation in my joints and body. Every joint in my body was hurting. I went back on it so I could function. It's definitely a blessing and a curse. | F | 47 | 1 years 10 mg 1X day | 6/5/2022 | 5 | Asthma | Mostly fast heart rate oral thrush every time I had to do a boost for persistent asthma | It does make you feel better but the side effects are very scary and it seems like I get oral thrush now with everything I take.Very upset | F | 73 | 7 days 20mg 1X day | 5/29/2021 | 5 | Auto imune disease | Talkative, hungry, energetic sleep problem just a little bir | I had lost my appetite completely , lost alot of weight felt like I was dieing.

I've been taking uloric gout medication daily for 8 years, but I still get the occasional flare up. That's when I take prednisone for 3 days.

When there is no alternative this drug is a lifesaver. I spent almost a year with a numb arm constant nerve radiation and the the muscle became spasmodic every time I tried to move my arm. The pain became excruciating. Lying down would caused immediate numbness and swelling to the arm. I already had major back surgery 1 1/2 years prior. I was fusing and then got hit head on by another driver and that is how this all started. I spent 8 months having test after test (5 mri’s , ct scan, emg, muscle tests) with no diagnosis. At the end I was sleeping in the living room sitting up in a chair dangling my arms because that was the only way I could sleep and my anxiety increased; I was at my wits end I couldn’t take it anymore. The neurologist decided I had traumatic brachial plexopathy and decided to start me on 60mg of prednisone a day. I was on that for 6 weeks, then he took me to 40mg.. I immediately broke out in acne, had severe abdominal pain with diarrhea, night sweats and had pain in my calves, with my back spasming too. 2 weeks later he told me too ween myself as quickly as possible because of the side effects. So I lowered the dose by 5mg every 3-4 days and I just got off 5 days ago. I am still having extreme muscle weakness, still have abdominal cramping and loose stools every time I eat. My back is killing me. As I stated I take pain meds anyway, but I do feel like a truck hit me. I have worked full time this entire time because I | F | 46 | 3 months 60mg qd | 6/9/2016 | 5 | It makes the ability to get out of bed a reality.

It is a miracle in a bottle. I thought I was going to suffocate to death. After the injection in the ER, 12 hours later I got relief, even if it was just a little. Then the oral stayed the next day. Unrelated to my lung issue I have osteoarthritis in both knees. It stops the pain immediately. I love those passion free days. | F | 48 | 2 weeks 25 | 2/15/2016 | 5 | Asthma | I didn't experience any side effects. It really helped my asthma. I was originally given a 5 day script in the emergency. About 2 months later my pharmacist got me a 7 day script for my asthma. I didn't feel any withdrawl symptoms both times. | What I want to know is how long do I need to wait between 7 day doses, to not experience withdrawl? | F | 40 | 7 days 50mg | 2/4/2016 | 5 | Rheumatsm in my fingers | No side effect feel better taking 12pcs prednison in 6 days prescribed health care sarah winslow | Its effective.can i continue taking prednison if my pseudo gout in my fingers return?

Has given me energy I never had. Being diagnosed with ALS in April 2014 and MG March 2015 with no cure. I'm thankful that there is a drug like prednisone to keep me alive. | F | 37 | 3 days 70 | 7/12/2015 | 5 | asthma flare up | Severe mood swings, rage, paranoia, insomnia, buzzed like I had too much caffeine, shaking, rapid heart beat | Prednisone worked wonders for my asthma but really threw me for a loop mentally. I take inhaled steroids regularly so I know that they can cause shakiness and restlessness, however I've never had mental side effects like this! I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't focus, I would go from super happy one second to crying the next. My emotions were all over the place. I barely even have memory of my week on prednisone because my mind was all over the place! That being said, the symptoms went away as soon as I got off the meds, and it really really helped my asthma. I would take it again if I had to, but this time I'd know to expect to feel crazy all week! | F | 15 | 5 days | 6/7/2015 | 5 | nephrotic syndrome and minimal chan | My 3 yr old son not only gets chipmunk cheeks but also gets dark circles under his eyes.. he is always hungry but is on a 2000mg low sodium diet which makes it extremely hard... however this medication has really helped him even with his relapses | M | 3 | 3 months 15mg | 11/26/2014 | 5 | Multiple Sclerosis Progressive | Not a fan of steroids since a bad reaction in 2008 to Solu Medrol IV but so far only thing I notice is not being able to sleep ( but that's not a bad thing since I suffer from MS Fatigue) and I do see some puffiness from the meds in my face and stomach but I'm offsetting that with diet/tea and it's helping some. I'm going to see this to day 12. I wish I had done his sooner. I was never going to touch any steroids again but glad I did this time. | I'm on a 12 day treatment of starting out with a certain amount then downsizing to a few. I stayed away from this drug since a horrible reaction from Solu Medrol in 2008 when I was first diagnosed. I have suffered years from pain and inflammation. Pain meds only did so much and I'm very careful with narcotic pain meds I'm given. I caved in and agreed to a 12 day course. I'm on day 7 and I feel wonderful beyond words. I can't believe I allowed myself to go so long in such agony. I hope it lasts awhile. I don't want to do this again but right now the leg pain, nerve pain hip pain..are gone. I'm walking better not like a duck or with a cane. It's so great to feel a bit better. | F | 35 | 12 days 1X day | 11/22/2014 |
PREDNISONE (PREDNISONE): Prednisone is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems, severe allergies, skin diseases, cancer, eye problems, and immune system disorders. Prednisone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It decreases your immune system's response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions.
