I was placed on Pred. in November for vasculitis. I was given 20mg for about 7 days, then cortisone for several days, with great results. Then the vasculitis came back, to nip it in the bud, the doctor gave me 10 mg of Pred. which I took for 5 days, no step down. Now I have a very irritated tongue... red, inflamed, hard to eat, burns constantly. This is the only new med I have taken in months, so it has to be the Pred.

Hi,
You need to get a nystatin wash for your mouth as you have steroid induced thrush.
Good Luck
