Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi I wrote last week asking about the side affects of plaquinel and the sun because I was itching. Well, come to find out Im highly allergic to plaquinel. Ive been broken out in hives everywhere (even inside my mouth) for a week now. The Dr put me on 80mg of prednisone to control the rash, which of course prevents sleep so now Im physically exhausted from no sleep and from fighting the rash, and Im mentally exhausted from the itching and pain of the rash. The good news is that I dont have joint pain because of all the prednisone! I was wondering if anyone knows how long the effects of prednisone lasts? Im going from 80mg to 60mg for 4 days, then to 40MG etc...but Im extremely tired and cant sleep because of the prednisone. I remember when my son was on a form of steroid for seizures the effects lasted for a few months after stopping it, does pred last for months after? Thanks, sorry this is so jumbled. Im not thinking really clearly Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
