Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 I am only taking predisone for emergencies. It causes severe psoriasis rebounds even when I do a long taper off of it. In addition, the weight gain, thinning of the skin, osteoporosis, etc...are all things that I want to avoid. S.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hi , In addition to the bad side effects of prednisone, that you mentioned, this medicine caused my parathyroid glands to become overactive with the result that I had to have one of my four parathyroid glands removed (twice) within three years because the prednisone was drawing calcium out of my bones, so much that I also have diabetes and osteoporosis. Moreover, I have endured in 1998 both double hip and double knee surgeries to replace those four joints. Now, I can walk inside within any assistance, but I use a cane or walker when I go outside.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi, I was put on predisone because of a flare and being sick. I knew something wasn't quite right but couldn't put my finger on it. This was after the 1st day. Then my moods were crazy, I was so agaittated, breathing problems. I thought my head was going to spin. Ended up in the hospital, doc says I can't take it anymore. He said it would take about a week to recover. I feel so weak and still a little moody. I still have problems getting a deep breath. My legs feel like rubber. I have Lupus Sle, fibro and RA. I also have herniated disc in my back that I am getting ready to have injections. This is the first I have been up since all of this, I have slept. Anyone else with reactions like this? If is diffucult to find meds that interact with me. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Coetta, That terrible. How much prednisone did you take? Do you have a rheumatologist?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Coetta, How horrible for you. I hope you are recoverd soon. I have not had anything to that level. I do get the crazy mood swings, but I am not sure if that is prednisone or just me with the usual distress of RA. Take care of yourself.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi Coetta - I am so sorry you had such a horrible reaction to the Prednisone. I don't care for the side effects that I get from it, but nothing as severe as what you experienced. I hope you are feeling better soon...........Doreen > > Hi, I was put on predisone because of a flare and being sick.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Dr Zagon would tell you certainly not, keep taking the LDN........ Celia I got a terrible sinus infection and the doc put me on 20 mg of prednisone for 4 days and 10 mg. for 4 days as well as an antibiotic. Do I have to come off the LDN? I can't find a definitive answer on the websites about short term use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
