Hi guys,
I have written several replies to people on the side effects of Prednisone.
Mainly I have dealt with how long it takes for your body to go back to normal after being on it. This is because i was on it for ten years and have been off it for three and have dealt with side effects and adrenal insufficiency.
I am trying to create awareness for what people go through on Prednisone and also trying to create some support for people out there.
So I have recently created a group on Facebook called Survivors of Prednisone. For those of you who are on Facebook you might be interested enough to have a look and maybe find other people who you can share things with and know that you are not alone. Also I can answer questions if you want to ask me things.
good luck and hope to see you there,
Anne

I havnt written on the forum in so long its really painful somedays to read of all the women sufferring so its very difficult for me to even talk about it most days
I have been off Yaz for 4 months today
I have had nearly every symptom mentioned
Thyroid elevated
Blood Pressure raised
Heart palps
Muscle weakness
Terrible horrible anxiety
Depressed thoughts
Not feeling like myself
No confidence anymore
Feeling of never getting well
Vaginal infection
Loss of interest in doing everything I love
Right eye feels odd the lid
Insomnia severe
Loss of appetite
As I sit here typing I miss the old me it is like the last 4 months have been a blur a rollercoaster unimaginable nightmare
Prior to starting Yaz I was having a great life nice boyfriend fun shopping going out planning trips cleaning gardening working you name it I did it and never ever experience saddness depression or anxiety
I was completely confident holistic easy going even tempered
I was on the pill 3 weeks 2 days off of it and I was hysterical and thought I was losing my mind and going crazy I cried and didnt leave the house for 6 weeks cried and had my family witness me almost losing my mind or so I thought
Although I have made progress I still am not working
I cant be a mom like I was to my daughter
I dont have confidence
I lost 14 lbs
I feel shakey in my arms still and have no clue if it is anxiety stress hormonal or if I have some unexplained illness
I dont know
Living in fear everyday of not being me again is tearing me apart
I had the hormone pellets biodentical inserted 3 weeks ago to try and give me a edge on balancing out I have seen psychologists psychaitrists medical doctors wellness doctors hormonal doctors
No one knows no one understands no one knows whats wrong
Iam forgetting things things I know I know its all scary
I hold hope that Bitter RN is better and a few of you
I want to be me again
What is it we are feeling off the pill months later like m
Is it hormonal is it Post Traumatic Stress is it the anxiety is it depression is it medical problems I dont know
All Iknow is I was healthy and fine and now all this
Anyone who can shed light and hope please say

I started taking lavaquin for a upper respiratory infection, (Asmatic Bronchitis) soon after my sleep pattern changed, where I use to fall a sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, I, now would lay awake for hours, then my right hand stared hurting like the circulation was being cut off, just overall weird feelings of depression, lack of energy, weepy, not really caring about anything. I felt like life wasnt worth it. It was like a constant sense of saddness surrounding me. I won't take it again.

I have been reading these posts with a heavy heart. My daughter also has had the same side effects that have been posted. She is 12 now and has been on singulair since two. We now have traced her most severe behavior back to when she was nine and her dose was up to the 10mg.
It breaks my heart, that she has lost several years of a happy childhood. We have grounded the poor child so many times. We have grounded her from summer camp, basketball games, soccer games. We took her off the singulair on Monday and last night was the first time she has volunteered a I Love you in a long, long time.
