Hey all. I am sorry for those of you who have to take this all the time, I hope you all are doing well.
Here is my experience: I like prednisone! I have taken it three different times, to reduce allergy symptoms. I had hives SOOOO bad and my face was swollen A LOT, so I got an 80mg shot and then went on a 6 day medrol dose pack. I wasnt on it very long but I did notice that I have an increased heart rate. Its normally about 62 (due to working out and being fit) but I am currently hovering around 85 most of the time, and its been 4 days since I stopped the medrol. That means no working out for me b/c my chest starts hurting. I will wait about another week to see if it lessens up.
To harvesterbornagain: I would say give it a week or so. If you have to go on this again DEFINETELY ask for a tapered pack. When I was on it I took 4 mg pills the whole time like this: 7 on day one, 6 on day two, 5 on day three... I tapered off so my body had time to adjust. I think that may be your problem. Dont take no for an answer next time! Demand a tapered dose!

I've had Fibromyalgia for a long time. The #1 thing, is to have a positive attitude. Get info. about this disease. Get moving. Start out slowly. Do what you are able to do, nothing more and nothing less. I know its hard to keep moving. But if u dont, ur stuck with no life. I've been down this road too. Get some physical therapy. I have found, for me, that pool therapy is the best. I dont have as much gravity to deal with in a swimming pool. The water seems to hold u up. Get involved in som...
by becelvis, 0 replies, updated about 3 hours ago.Hi Guys I have been suffering from chronic daily headaches since March 2006. Have been to 4 neurologists and they all confirm that there is nothing seriously wrong with me neurologically and they put it down to stress. I have tried herbal remedies, acupuncture, body stress release, dietician, exercise, pain killers, massage, physio, posture modifying appliance, bean bags and oils, ice pack, pilates, chiropractor, daily meds like inderal and trepiline and still, nothing has been able to give me long te...
by rose81, 2 replies, updated about 15 hours ago.I was given the fantastic news that my body doesn't like itself anymore. I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

He has slured speech, incoherent, unsteady on his feet & drops off to sleep in the blink of an eye. Could it be something other that drink related? or is he just pretending to himself he's ok?
