I seem to recall someone posted re: nausea and taste

like on 12.5 mg a day is very nauseated and has a

nasty taste in her mouth. She thinks its from the

phelegm she is hacking up (she is copd recovering from

a pneumonia) but I am at a loss as what to do since

she really can't afford to lose weight. She is on

nystatin for fungus but it is not super crazy at the

moment (unlike her kid who is evolving life at the

back of her throat....). The nausea seems to come and

go.

Any ideas or remedies you want to share??

Hug!

(who is now officially fed up of pred, fed up of

winter and beginning a midlife crisis on the day

before her 31st birthday)

So sorry you're both on the evil candy at the same time! And

especially that your mom is feeling so poortly. One thought I have

about the nausea is that pred can irritate the stomach lining, so she

might try Tums or another antacid to see if it settles. But first she

needs to let her doc know what's going on and ask if antacids

interfer with any of her meds. For the nasty taste in her mouth sugar-

free mint gum may help.

I also recently had a prob when tapering I had started on 30 and was tapering by

5 mg it started when I tapered from 10 to 5mgs to none. So per my doc I went

back on 5 mg then tapered to 2.5 then off and I think I' m all better. I called

her cause I wasn't sure if it was caused by adrenal issues.

Yes, I had a terrible time with nausea and taste changes, too.

Actually I had this horrible metal taste in my mouth all the time.

Anyway, they finally switched me over to medrol instead of

prednisone. It's still a steroid, basically the same thing - I'm not

a pharmacist so I can't tell you the exact difference, sorry. Anyway,

my nausea improved and the horrible taste in my mouth went away.

Good luck.

Really, I suspect the Nystatin very strongly. I'm on it - have been

for 12 days and it always leaves a long term bitter nasty taste in my

mouth. It tastes like I had been sucking on cardboard (we tried that

kind of stuff when I was a kid) Now I find myself chewing strong

flavored gum (like cinnamon) and eating little chocolate bites.

Brushing teeth and tongue helps some. Or, if glucose is not a

problem, sucking on a strong flavored candy or a candy with

artificial sweetner.
