Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Val, I'm back on prednisone and feel like I'm making a good recovery from my bad prednisolone episode. During the day I feel fairly good but last night I had trouble going to sleep plus I was hungry and i started to wonder if my second daily dose of pred was HC instead - by mistake. I'll be more careful and see what happens tonight but it does make me wonder if I should maybe go a tad bit higher with the pred. I was told to take 35 mg HC. But now I'm only taking 7.5 pred (30 mgHC). Going to the equvalant of 35 mg HC requires double splitting a pill to reach 8.75. So I wonder would it be 'safe' to go to 10 mg pred insted of 8.75 (2 whole pills)? Also, the timing of the pills is - 5mg breakfast and 2.5 at lunch. Would that be a factor? Plus, Steve's comments about bowel function makes me wonder as well if my pred is too low. By noon, I already had '3 loads' under my belt - like my bowels are still hyper.
