Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I went to pick up my prednisone script and according to the pharmacist my primary wants to see me before he renews it again. I have been on 10mg a day for 3 years and now nothing. I just saw my primary on Tuesday which was the day before I turned my refill in. He forgot that he had just seen me for some seriously bad stuff just the day before. Why would he take me off the prednisone like that. I know that I am not on a high dose but I am wondering if there are side effects from being on steroids for such a long time then suddenly nothing. I know my hips, neck, shoulders, hands, feet; okay everywhere is starting to really hurt. It is in my chart that we tried a step down once and I was just too miserable without the pred. Doctors should be forced to take calls on the weekend. Mine doesn't even have a cover doc just the ER. I started getting a really nasty bumpy red itchy rash yesterday. Does anyone no if this could be from suddenly going off the steroids? Why do I get all the Alzheimer's doctors? I know they must all have it because they can see me 3 times in the same week and not remember who I am or what my problems are. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, I want my prednisone back NOW. I guess it's hot baths (that just does wonderful things for my Sjogrens) for me until I get this straightened out. Everyone pray that it is on Monday.
