[@Heavenblaire]

Just an additional info for others, when corticosteroids is being taken as a short term tx, you actually dont need to tell patients to “slowly discontinue taking the medicine” as this is only applicable for long term tx (e.g. addison’s dse and etc) and also, it is important to tel them to take it preferably in the morning.

Well I just got discharged from Hospital after over a week stay bcoz I had SARS Cov 2 positive 😓 I had couple of times severe short of breath while climbing the stairs ..but after a week stay in hospital ..i feeling much better snd there's is only a little bit of dry cough that's it ..although I feel like my lungs not yet fully recovered 100 .. I am taking Prednison 20 mg 1 tablet per day as prescribed by doctors... Even I had taken regularly while I was in hospital too .. I am just curious ...how is yours breath functioning and others muscles ... Do you go Walk or jogging or do some kind breathing exercises ? Would you share with me ? Thank you .. Appreciate 🙏

I start my pharmacy course this year. I’m going to use your page a lot. I understand NSAIDS, but I don’t know a lot about steroids. Did you know that many people think ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) are the same? Literally! I’ve had to explain to my family, that you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen at the same time. But many people will buy many products with acetaminophen! So many times, pharmacists have told elderly patients that this drug and those other drugs all have acetaminophen in them! RIP Liver.

Miss jk I think your point is a valid one and the answer they gave seems to be valid one too.

[@kamikaze_Granny]

Hi doc, first of all I want to thank you for all your efforts of helping us all. My question is this... About 4 months ago, I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. The doctor prescribed a facial physiotherapy and daily dose of Prednisone ( Ephasol ). I took it for 2 weeks and 2 days (40 mg for a week, 20 mg for 5 days and 10mg for the last 4 days). I can now say the Bell's Palsy has been treated and my facial paralysis has gone. But I started seeing different symptoms on my body. 1. Exactly after a week of taking the medication I started hearing my heartbeat through my ears. 2. After about a month of stopping the med my right hand finger knuckles got dark and my body started shaking (slight shaking of sometimes the legs, sometimes the arms and a throbbing feeling in the back of my head). 3. Ringing ears (most noticeably in 1 ear) started 2 weeks ago. 4. A tight feeling in my forehead. Doc, are these the side effects of the medication? What is the solution?

[@Lian-ez8gx]

Hello. How are you now? I also experienced that with other drug (corticosteroids). I'm 2 months off from the meds. I still feel tightness in my forehead. During medication my whole body was numb then after a month without the meds i feel skin tightness.

Mike; Great video. I have stage 4 NSCC of he right lung.. Under the care of an oncologist. I find that my appetite has become suppressed. Just looking at food, makes. me nauseous.. I do remember that taking Prednisone several months ago, did make me feel better, but don't recall if in increased my appetite. Other than water weight, could Prednisone give me the desire to feel hungry again? I know by taking it, I felt better all around, I started out with 5 per day, then reduced by 1 each week. I know that I can't be on it permanently, but if it helps for at least a month, that would be great. (My wife is beginning to think it's her cooking) Thanks in advance, Ron Ft. Myers, Fl.

Did notice acne increase in the face and since i decreased to 60mg a few weeks ago acne spread to shoulders and back. Also starting to notice vision problems that change during the day so now have long distance glasses. Most severe side effect for me is extreme restlessness. This is physical and mental and i started taking adhd medication again after stopping because i was literally pacing around my living room feeling so amped up and not knowing what to so.

اغلب اللي حكاه : Prednisone: steroid : anti-inflammatory stress & swelling hormones Prednisone , hydrocortisone Dexamethasone , fludocortisone Prescribed for : COPD, Reumatoid arthritis, psoriasis (inflamed skin), lupus( inflamed body where the body attack itself). Allergic reaction (for swelling). Swollen : steroid swell the body --> wight gain So we see big moon face + high BP( زيادة الضغط عادية) *we monitor weight daily. Sepses: infection from low WBC ---> slow wound healing----> fever & infection. Any low grade fever لازم ينحكى عنها Suger increased: hyperglycemia---> increase the insulin. Skinny muscles & bones: osteoporosis ---> risk for fracture. Sight---> risk for cataract Supress the immune system---> slow wound healing عشان ما يصيرش عند المريض Addisonian crisis : - لازم توقف الدوا شوية شوية never abrupt stop. - في حالات الstress والعمليات بنزود الجرعة

[@becca_so_cute2732]

First. What did your doctor prescribe it for? Depending on the reason… you might want to look into different alternatives from this medication. It’s comes with a lot of unpleasant side effects like gaining weight and depositing extra fat In your stomach and face. Prednisone can also make you feel irritable and on the edge. This medication will most definitely make you want to eat a whole buffet at any hour of the day as well… so if I were you I’d ask the doctor for a different alternative.
