Prednisone withdrawal
As you all know I have been saying I was going to start weaning of the 5 mg of pred. ( since my dr. said it would be o.k. ) Well Sat., I took 4 1/2 mg. and ended up having a horrible headache,yesterday I did the same but by mid after noon my head was killing me,my ears were ringing so loud,body aches all over and I was freezing.I couldn't take it so today I upped it to 5 1/2mg. But I still feel bad and am freezing. I've had sweats on ,with a robe over that and covered with an afgan drinking hot tea in front of a space heater !!!!!!!!!!! I called my dr. at Cleveland and he said I was having withdrawal systems and to go up to 7 mg. until I felt better than back down to 5. I now wondering if I should just "man" up stay at 4 1/2 until this passes otherwise I'll never give off the crap
Life isn't about how you survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain !
