I've just had headaches for 2 days and then eye problems again but the Eye Hospital this time couldn't find any swelling so there has been no need to go on stronger medication. Last time the trigger was dropping my Prednisolone by 5 mg. This time I think that it was the stress caused by becoming overheated. We were camping in the Mallee region of Victoria and had a very hot day where there was no way of escaping the heat. It seems very important to me to not let my body get "stressed" in any way or else it LETS ME KNOW! I guess I'm gradually learning what I can take - if not I start to shake. After a while my coordination goes too and I feel wonky! I have found out that Prednisolone also comes in 1mg tabs so I am going to suggest to the Doc that I go down by just 1mg a week and not the 5mg which was obviously too much.
I have found that with this disease - or is it the medication? I feel hotter than I would normally feel. In fact I feel better if I am slightly cold both in bed and during the day. Even in winter I wear a singlet top under my clothes so that I can strip down if I'm hot. Do others find this too?
How much Prednislone do others take and how did you get your dose down????????
