Re: Has anyone had to go back on pred??

[Guest guest]

Doug,

I'm wondering if you can't get off pred for some other reason. Like,

your adrenals aren't kicking in cortisol and are sending your body a

message that since you don't have any pred in your system, you need

to have an asthma attack and get some pred. Or that your lungs are

used to the influx of pred or something. I'm not explaining this

very well - I guess I just wonder if your body hasn't become

freakishly dependent on pred, and tells your lungs to act up so it

can get some more. You might want to consult with a doc who

specializes in adrenal fnction.

Of course, I could be way off base here.
