Off Prednisone, Having Trouble...? Please Help!
Thank you so much in advance for reading! The last few weeks have been an absolute nightmare for me. I was on Prednisone for three days (it was supposed to be a week but I called my doctor with how bad my reactions were and she told me to stop) on 20mg twice a day. I was put on it originally to give me a "boost" from this mono like virus that was in my system for a good month. ... more »
Thank you so much in advance for reading! The last few weeks have been an absolute nightmare for me. I was on Prednisone for three days (it was supposed to be a week but I called my doctor with how bad my reactions were and she told me to stop) on 20mg twice a day. I was put on it originally to give me a "boost" from this mono like virus that was in my system for a good month.
It's been about five weeks now, going near on six and I am STILL having terrible symptoms that I did not have this bad. Insomnia that cannot be helped by sleep aid, terrible depression, high strung anxiety, racing heart, headaches, weakness (I don't want to get out of bed some days), late period (so far no bleeding when it was way due). horrible sleep patterns, extreme fatigue, irritability, mood swings (almost like being on PMS), little to no appetite, acne outbreak randomly on my body even on my scalp, feeling out of it, and having absolutely no motivation to do anything. It's ruining my good summer!
Please, can someone tell me how long this will last? I don't want this to be going on into the beginning of my school year...I'm so scared. Anyone that can offer me any advice or tips would be much appreciated, thank you! Have a good day/night!
