Re: Prednisone questions
If I was to give you some advice it would be as follows:
--Have your primary care prescribe you a Blood Sugar monitor. Test daily. Pred induced diabetes can hit any of us.
--Go see your eye doctor and have your ocular pressure checked. Mine is high, most likely due to the Pred(ator). Hoping it doesn't turn into Glaucoma.
--Benadryl gets me to sleep at night when all else fails and I really gotta sleep.
Best of luck!!

Re: Prednisone questions
Thanks for all the responses and advice. I get to start my taper next Monday dropping to 30mg per day for a week then then down to 20Mg per day after another week. Then I will retest labs and followup with dr once again to check progress.
I haven't noticed a "moon face" yet, but I definitely have a moon belly! I can't even button my fat girl jeans I gained 4 lbs in 3 weeks and it is all in my belly!
I am trying to walk more to help with the weight gain and possibly help my sleep better. But hopefully the reduction will help the most!
Thanks again!
