I was on 50mg for 3 days, 40mg for 3 days, 30mg for 3 days, 20 mg for 3 days and 10 mg for 3 days. About 4 days after the last dose, I started getting full to severe headaches. I have had them every day for better than a month. I would take migraine pills with naproxen like it was candy! The headaches would sometimes go away for 1/2 a day only to return with a full vengence! I am so upset because my Dr. said she didn't think that could do that since I no longer took them. | Please, if anyone can give me some perspective on this I would greatly appreciate it!

On a good night I would get 3 or sometimes 4 hours twice a week)I was exhausted but my brain was wired and wouldn't shut down, I felt like the walking dead. I broke out in acne and grew downy hair all over my face, I was a bit emotional and irritable sometimes, appetite increase, weight gain, hump back, my eyes seem to get weaker, and sever memory loss and hard to concentrate. Once off prednisone I would lose my hair exactly one month after not taking it. (Two years in a row this happened) My hair would fall out daily for 4-5 months straight. The first time it seemed to grow back a bit but then come October I went back on prednisone for an additional 4 months. In February I was completely off it and my hair started to fall out again daily. Last month (June my hair loss has slowed down considerably, but it's now mid-july and is still falling out.I have little hair left compared to two years ago. Both doctors had said it was NOT due to the prednisone but falling out from stress. I've been stressed my whole life and never had hair loss. It was alway exactly one month after coming off of Prednisone that my hair came out TWO years in a row. I believe it was the prednisone without doubt. | I was wearing adult diapers for a month and was so sick, the prednisone help clear that nightmare up and stopped all the bleeding. For four months thereafter I stayed healthy before the bleeding would come back. | F | 47 | 4 months 60mg | 7/13/2016 | 5 | Traumatic brachial plexopathy | I agree with some of you.. 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 amazing. | F | 50 | 10 days .05 | 5/29/2016 | 1 | Myasthenia Gravis | I was on prednisone for 11 months with various side effects, joint pain, breathlessness, itching skin. I chose to come off the drug myself or I would still be prescribed it..stepped the dose down by 2.5mg every two weeks, monitored by doctor. I have now been off it for 5 months, my bone density is now low and as a result my heel bones have crumbled leaving me with painful bone spurs, my toes have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, I can now only walk 100 yards with a stick until the pain becomes unbearable. I now have shoulder and finger joint pain and fear they are the next to suffer. In past two months I developed steroid induced rosacea which has moved into my eyes. My face is now usually covered in sores and my eyes are red raw most days, my fear is getting cornea ulcers and losing my sight. I still have Myasthenia Gravis, the prednisone did nothing for the condition except leave me crippled and embarrassed to leave the house because of my appearance. This drug has destroyed my li | M | 57 | 11 months 30 1X day | 4/14/2016 | 5 | Bronchitis and asthma wheezing in | My face is a little red and warm | F | 81 | 3 days 3 3 times | 3/31/2016 | 4 | Sarcoidosis | Diagnosed with sarcoidosis (lots of infiltrates in lungs-looked like spider webs) in December 2015. Started on 30mg prednisone 1x daily in January 2016, along with Dapsone to prevent pneumonia and Prilosec to reduce acid build up caused by prednisone. After six weeks. X-rays show lungs almost clear. Stepped down to 25mg prednisone daily for next six weeks and so forth. Blood work though now shows reduced hemoglobin, anemia, which could be caused by Dapsone so off that until it's confirmed. Although Prednisone can be a saving grace on most things, yes I did get the water retention, moon face, fat redistribution side effects and now this anemia cuz the prednisone does weaken your immune system. | Looking forward to getting my life back. | F | 52 | 2 months 30mg | 3/5/2016 | 4 | Takyashu arteritis | Cushings effects, bison back, psychotic, muscle degeneration. Trembled like parkensen disease. Intensified allergies. Easily induced food poisoning resulted. Thinning of skin, major weight gain while almost starving myself to control the weight gain. Scarring of skin on arms, legs, everywhere. Bison back. Cataracts. Loss of hair almost going bald but hair grew on face with acne. | It may have saved my life but also destroyed another part of who I was. I was given 6 weeks to live at 21.5 yrs old. I am 62 now which should not be. I was also told I would probably not make it to age 50 due to the damage. They never took into account TENACITY & defiance. I am fortunate to have been accepted by Johns Hopkins, MD. They enabled me to save my life. | F | 62 | 6 years 180 | 3/5/2016 | 1 | for shingles | light rash no pain no itch.P.A.sail Think its shingles.gave me Acyclovir 800.mg.l got the flu,so sick,had t call nurse on call said i had a virus l stopped on 5th day feeling better.rash has gone. | Well not sure if it was the Prednisone orthe combination of both meds.. | F | 7 days 4mg | 2/27/2016 |
