Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi Chrisitine, Prednisone is not a med I think our kids should be on. I'm not a doctor but, his pulmonoloigist put Braeden on the med and once I looked up the side effects, I realized it wasn't a med to give to a RSS kid. Basically, it can insrease blood sugar levels, heart rate, and increase hyperactivity. When I did the research on the med I called his pulomonogy nurse who agreeded with me and we switched meds. I just wanted to pass on my experience. I hope all goes better. Saundra Mom to Braeden (RSS) and Delaney 19 month twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 --Hi thanks for the info I definitley didn't know that that is not good for our kids? has a mild case of RSS but has way many other issues!! I know when he was on it he peed all the time every 3 to 5 minutes.What is a pulmonoligist exactly?? I haven't heard of this he has 9 doctors but never heard of this. he doesn't seem to have blood sugar problems or the ketone problems . well write me back when you can!! I did notice he bounced off the walls more than normal lol thanks !! - In RSS-Support , " momtodandb " wrote: > Hi Chrisitine, > Prednisone is not a med I think our kids should be on.
