PredniSONE and synthroid

I had to take Prednisone as pre-medication before a CT angiogram (had an allergic reaction to the dye in a previous exam). Dose was 50mg, 3x, 6 hrs apart. About an hour and a half after the first dose, I was feeling rather "out of it" and unwell. Took my BP out of curiosity: 145/104! It dropped later, but after the 2nd and 3rd dose (all this in a twelve hour period), both heart rate and BP stayed elevated (hit 128/minute pulse, beat my old record when I was hyperthyroid on Synthroid!)

It's hard to believe this doesn't have a deleterious effect on the body--for me, it was of course preferable to the risk of anaphylactic shock. But I really feel for all of you who have to take it for an extended period (and sure hope I never do). Maybe it helps at least to know your symptoms and actions are definitely a product of this drug and that you will feel better when you can stop taking it?

I had a chronic sinus infection and my doctor put me on Levaguin and 80 mg of prednisone. I am 62 and I take only synthroid as a prescribe. drug. I told my doctor I was a borderline diabetic. She told me the side effect were bone weakening in the hip and pelvis and stomach upset. At first I had a lot of energy and sleep a lot less. I just thought I was getting better. I tapered down to 1 1/2 . After taking them for 11 days I was not able to function. My body was under extreme distress, I have very excellent blood pressure and I am in very good health. I have been off the drug for 4 days. I am still experiencing sweating, hypertension, extreme muscle spasms. I am unable to wear my contacts, I am short tempered and I am normally the opposite. I have horrible headaches and I very seldom ever get headaches. I told my doc and she said it would go away in time.
My body is fatigued I am have trouble focusing,sleeplessness. I don't know where to turn at this point. Sometimes I feel like I should go to er because of the hyperventilating and rapid heart beat. I am afraid to exercise. I am eating a lot of high protein foods, I am not gaining weight, I have lost 7 lbs in two weeks. PLEASE EVALUATE THE RISKS OF THIS DRUG IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR ME. DOCTORS DON'T ALWAYS TELL YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.
