Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi Tawny: You must be in a lot of pain - so sorry to hear that. I have been on as much as 30 mg. of Pred for a couple of weeks, then titrated down from there. I surely hope he is not giving you 40 mg. for 5 days and then stop cold. You really need to lower Prednisone slowly. Other than that, it will definately help with the pain, but take it in the mornings or you will never sleep. I also get cranky and snappy, really intense, and hungry with Prednisone, so I really hate the way it makes me feel mentally more than anything else. If it did not have such side effects, I would take it everyday for the pain relief it gives. I hope that it helps you - take care - Kathe in CA --- tdianaok <tdianaok@...> wrote: > My doctor has put me on 40mg of Prednisone for 5 > days, because I have > been in so much pain. Is this normal?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Kathe, I stayed on the Prednisone for three days, and its all I could stand. It sure got me out of the flare, and able to do quite a bit for the weekend. I know what you mean about not sleeping. I took it early, but it still had me going. Hope your feeling better, Tawny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
