I suffer from gout... this was the first time I took Prednisone, ...

That's what it does. Pretty normal although usually it takes a little longer.

But there is one thing I have learned with this drug and its to expect the unexpected. My eye pressures shot through the roof and had full blown Glaucoma. It went away after 4 years of being on that med.

I remember a doc telling me elevated eye pressures don't hurt and you can't feel them. Yet another mis-informed dr.

Please watch the prednisone as a cure or treatment for Gout routine. There are so many other things you can do for gout then taking prednisone.

A short burst is fine for a severe attack but taper off it quick. Changing your diet works best. Been there, that's all.

Good luck!!
