weaning prednisone

[Guest guest]

in the spring they put me on 40 mgs of predinsone

when my condition improved they started the weaning process

1 month at 30

1 month at 20

1 month at 15

then 10

i should be at 10, but am stuck at 15 since i wasn't feeling well and we increased prednisone to 17.5

stopped taking the new blood pressure medicine, feeling better, back down to 15

guess i'll wait a week before dropping to 10

while i was on the new blood pressure medicine, i used the oximeter a lot since my sats were crazy--i knew they were off by the way i felt, but wanted to confirm how off they were

also knowing the sats at a time like that helps when communicating with the docsPink Joyce IPF 3/06 Pennslvania
