Re: Prednisone burst Sierra

[Guest guest]

Hi Sierra:

What dosage did you doctor start you on, and how are

you tapering it? Personally, I will usually be

started on at least 20 mg. of Prednisone, and I will

feel a difference within a few days in relation to my

pain level. It also makes me kind of speedy and gives

more energy. What I did not like about the Prednisone

is that it makes me feel so serious like

intense-serious, crabby, and hungry. It's kind of a

get away and leave me along, and give me that food!

Not a greaet feeling, but the relief from the pain is

always good.
