Re: I Had My 2-Week Follow Up W/ My Lung Dr

[Guest guest]

, It's good to see you posting.

Yes to all your questions!!

I don't remember what dosage of Prednisone you are taking, but it can

make you feel worse!!!

To help you sort this all out...go to the links at the bottom of the

posts and click on data bases.

Many of us have listedf the side effects of Prednisone we've

experienced and you'll probably

find similar effects. Honestly, two weeks isn't enough time for

anything!

Give it time, but call your Doc if you really feel worse than you

feltwhen you saw her today.

Hey

everybody; hope all is well.

I saw my lung

doctor today for my two-week follow up appointment. I had a CT Scan

before hand. She told me she wants me to continue the prednisone

treatments because it has only been two weeks. The scans have shown a

little improvement & my right lung sounds a little better too. So

she said the prednisone treatments look promising. Thing is, I don't

feel any better. I feel worse. I don't understand if I am improving

then how come I don't feel it. I had a huge cough fit in the car on the

way home from the hospital it was horriable. I ended up falling asleep

when I got home after I got cooled down from sweating a ton. I see her

in 4 to 5 weeks with breathing tests scheduled too.

Take care.

I take 40 mg a day of the prednisone. I might be catching a cold or a

small flu bug so I am going to try and get in with my primary care

doctor. I've felt really blah.

Kim... I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well right now and in fact, feeling worse. I wish I had something I could say that would help you.

It's a good thing tho' that your scans are some better and your lung as well. Let's hope when you go back again it will show even more improvement.

God Bless You.

I Had My 2-Week Follow Up W/ My Lung Dr

Hey everybody; hope all is well.

I saw my lung doctor today for my two-week follow up appointment. I had a CT Scan before hand. She told me she wants me to continue the prednisone treatments because it has only been two weeks. The scans have shown a little improvement & my right lung sounds a little better too. So she said the prednisone treatments look promising. Thing is, I don't feel any better. I feel worse. I don't understand if I am improving then how come I don't feel it. I had a huge cough fit in the car on the way home from the hospital it was horriable.
