Malignant symptoms and conditions

I'm on Prednisone 20mg 3 times a day for 5 days..and Benadry tablets 25mg every six hours indefinite...When I take the Prednisone, i eat immediately after i take it...a pretzel, cracker a piece of bread or drink milk. I dont have stomach aches, nausea, moon face, DEPRESSION, none of that! Some of you are reporting horrible side effects after taking PredniSOne for only a few days...geez!

My hives are 'down' but they are still there. The itching is waaaaay down...but i feel that all of this will come back HARD when i run out prednisone.

I read that we could have chronic hives (those who have been diagnosed with chronic hives) because we could have a 'mass' (benign or malignant) in our bodies that is inflamming our systems. AND...it's time that we stop eating the foods and snacks that cause our bodies to 'flame up' because eating junk fastfood, etc cause hives also.

It's NOT just about allergies. It's about good health, diet and taking the medicine EXACTLY as it says on the prescription bottle instructions.

It's time you all go have MRI's, your mammograms, X-Rays, etc to see what it is that is causing the chronic hives. You may not have ANY symptoms but hives but maybe you have a mass somewhere in your body...check out everything. Be well.

I am a 54 year old male who has a chronic a-fib. My cholesterol was a wee bit high so my now retired MD put me on Zetia, which just about killed me- constant stomach pains and associated GI problems-we all can guess. So I went to see my cardiologist- he took me off Zetia and put me on Lipitor. It dropped my cholesterol levels significantly but the side effects are horrendous. My new MD was gooing to look into it because I was on 80 mg a day- but never did and never lowered the dose-229 is not all that high to warrant 80 mg a day.
I am now experiencing severe pain in my right rib-cage area, making sleep an event every night. Also have severe leg cramps the size of golf balls constanlty at night while sleeping. Pain in both elbows, and in the right foot, which when I can sleep wakes me up with a severe pounding pain. I am also experiencing severe neck and shoulder pain and am generally fatigued all the time- So I quit taking the stuff as of today on my own, I am seeing my MD in two week and I want to see what the difference is pain wise being off of the med for two weeks. I have always been a strong physical guy, played football all the way through college and am in pretty good shape for my age, but this stuff is killing me!! Hope this helps someone else also-Thanks for listening-John in Napa, CA.

Glad to find your site. I have been on Lisiopril for 2 years (ever since my Insurance stopped paying for my Aceon and I had to have a substitute drug for blood pressure control). I have had increasing cough and horseness for the past 12 months to the point that I now have 24 hour symptoms! I also have been having leg cramps at night the past few months.
I will stop Lisinopril TODAY. Plan to monitor my blood pressure and see what happens. Does anyone see any problem with doing this?????
