I know the effects and side effects of prednisone all too well. I've been taking it for years for systemic lupus. I've been on as much as 60 mg daily & down to 5 mg daily. When they try to ween my totally off, I end up in a severe lupus flare. So I have to be maintained on a small dose when in remission. I've had to undergo 8 total hip replacements due to aseptic necrosis caused by prednisone as well as 5 wrist replacement due to carpal lunate deterioration from prednisone - all by the time I was 38 years old. I also fracture very easily. I've been lucky to maintain a low weight of between 120 - 135 even while being on 60 mg of prednisone but I control the feeling of hunger prednisone causes.

Been on Pred for over 20 years, min dose poss, 8mg, have chronic asthma, it’s Pred or the Asthma. Started age 43, has given me over 20 years mobility etc, have developed Diverticulitis, probably because Pred screws up the digestive tract, now having to take 12 mg to control Asthma. Age now 68, hoping I don’t fall apart too soon. Watch diet very carefully.

@@JuanGarcia-re8yj Hi, yes, tiredness if I go low on Pred, as body needs adrenaline to pep it up, recent diverticulitis, flares up about once a year, apart from that, so far so good, get regular bone density scans and as I have been working as a gardener for 20 years all ok there (excessive, sun, load bearing), just retired to Germany, back down to 8 milligrams. Also take lots of sauerkraut, kefir etc as prednisolone screws up gut flora, like anti biotics.

I DON'T KNOW BUT I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE TAKING THIS INJECTION. i said back oh i wish i knew what your getting at. and she said well i don't know i don't know. this for swelling of poison ivy. about 3 weeks to a months later i was home alone scared to death of life. phsychoses witch i have never experienced in my life. family soon had to come take care of me witch they never did be for and i did actually notice how worryed they were. some easy brusing terrible verdigo . no sleep for who can sleep with a constant fear . Doc 2 years after injection said i have a indused cushings syndrome. 1 said it caused brain fat loss witch i had no clue what that meant. so many things going on. now 3 years starting to go out side. recovery seeing a couple friends i have not been with and 4 months later lost friend ship. started going through a hormone imbalance roid rage. i would get upset go mad at time and just freak out. family decided to slact visits and year after relation problems gone bad as it is still today. i still have verdigo but a little less and moody missunderstanding and Flunked bad on my you tube chanel piano saying its practice . no its just that i can't concentrate and my finger's feel lite and jelly like. slow agonizing recovery i would not wish on my worse enemy except the aschwits nazi

What about Cushing syndrome?

[@efranco2268]

Yes. I got this after 30yrs of use!!! My BP became dangerously high and uncontrolled. Had the fat bumps on neck and severe anxiety. All this despite the fact that I only took 3 mg a day. After two years and almost dying from one of the many high Bp attacks, a doctor connected the dots. Took me off prednisone and gave me my life back. I am on the mend but regret damage done to my heart in the interim. It’s amazing how many doctors were clueless to this …..I consulted all my doctors and some new ones. Finally, my new one nailed it. She saved my life as Cushings is deadly.

[@cindybedient1659]

Thank you. Did you get Type 1 diabetes from the cushing??

[@efranco2268]

@@cindybedient1659 hi. No. I did not get diabetes, however, I have gotten progressively sicker and sicker over the last two years. Two years ago, after 28 years of using prednisone, I started getting more and more anxiety, and wound up in the emergency room with dangerously high blood pressure. I also noticed the slight bumps, fatty looking, on my neck. I showed it to my endocrinologist, my rheumatologist, my oncologist, my general practitioner, and anyone that would listen. I believe it’s crazy that no one of my health professionals even were able to connect the dots. Cushing’s syndrome or any kind of Cushing’s presents with fat bumps. Doh. I digress. The blood pressure episodes lessened and I was labeled to have an anxiety disorder. Over the last two years, I was on six different blood pressure medication at once. I finally self diagnosed and started asking more and more questions of new doctors, and one connected the dots with me! I took my last dose of prednisone two days ago and I’m already seeing a huge improvement. I believe I would’ve died in short order as my BP attacks were horrible. Other symptoms aside from anxiety, sleeping disorders, Gastro issues, dangerously high blood pressure, disassociation, depression and confusion. I was told to stay on the low-dose because it was life-sustaining. That was all BS. Hope you feel better soon.

[@cindybedient1659]

Im sorry to hear that. My son had all the signs of cushings after taking prednisone for 2 weeks at the age of 9. At the age of 10 rushed to hospital with Type 1 diabetes. And all the symptoms of cushings was gone. Im just trying to see if this has happened to other people. Thank you

@@cindybedient1659 omg. Poor child. Now that is aweful. Is he better now? I’m hoping all the BP issues ease up for me. The two years or so that it was controlled with a bunch of meds was difficult but this out break really bought it to a head and luckily one doctor is helping me. I am on less meds and hopefully it will resolve for me (some damage is permanent ). Hope your son is ok.
