ever since the one dr. I see here in town put me from 10-5mg of pred a day I have been having problems. When I saw the reumy at CC he said I was in remission and put me back up to 8mg a day then taper down 1mg. every 2 weeks. Well I have been feeling horrible ever since I went down to 5 the first time and today I went to the E.R. because for the last 4 days I have been having chest pains, getting really dizzy, had having a hard time breathing and having terrible headaches. I was chalking it up to the weather and my sinuses, the dr. at the ER said it was just my anxiety. So he gave be 2 ativan. Well when I left there I was still the same as I went in but a more dizzier with the ativan. Has anyone else had these problems weaning off pred. I just don't know what to do next ,I don't think this is normal. I go tommorrow for a brain scan to see if I have had any TIA's lately.
