the lesser of two evils....

Hello,

Some of us will be stuck on the pred no matter how much xolair is pumped into

us. I am on 5 mg pred per day and had a nice chat with my endo yesterday who

said that " generally ppl on that dose do not have that many side effects " . That

being said, some people may be more sensitive. What do you mean by heart

effects? I am unsure of any heart-related side effects of prednisone (after

being on it for 4 solid + years, I am pre-diabetic and look like a brain tumour

patient so I am well-versed in the side effects.)

Neurosurg nurse

ps , I too am visited by Cousin Drippy instead of Aunt Flo. It's been

worked up. It's due to the meds and not one in particular (and certainly not the

xolair which was the most benign of the bunch).
