I have been on prednisone since February. I was giving it in the hospital and it helped increase my appetite. I was very dizzy but the Dr. in the hospital said it was from not having enough fluid. It was 80 mg and then cut down to 20 mg. I then had a lung biospy and found out that besides the hemolytic anemia I was diagnosed with earlier I had some lymphocyctic intertial pneumonitis. The drug of choice for treatment is prednisone. The prednisone was upped to 80 mg again and I, of course, had to take insulin on a sliding scale. It was okay for a while and then the EYE PAIN began. I never knew my eyes could hurt so much. I went ot see the optometrist who sent me to an opthamalogist and checked the pressure which was high. I told the dr. I was taken back to 40 mg. The eye pain was better and weaned but after a couple of weeks it hurt like nothing else. so they placed me on 20 mg then 10 mg then 5. I don't know if anyone else had a problem with this and it would only relate to female my period is so heavy and so irregular that I get it like 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. I,also, don't know if it's the change. I am 45. I did lose weight and I have a puffy face but I think I always did. I am in pain. I know I cry and try to make myself do things. The one thing I do feel is that my brain is gone. I can't thnk like I used to and I don't care. I did have to go back up to 80 for a while and then decrease and now on 15. The pressure is good now in my eyes and there is no pain for the most part. I am going to a dr. who my lung dr. is referring me to to see if they can do another medicine since he worked with some othe pt who had this. I hope so because this prednisone is worse than what I have.
