I am curious how many of you are taking prednisone on a permanent basis. I, like everyone else used to take prednisone is bursts and only for a flare up. But starting last year my baseline numbers were so consistently low, my pulmonologist determined I need to take it all the time. My current dosage is 20 mg every other day. Prednisone is such a two headed dragon :( It helps with your breathing, but all the side effects! Weight gain, sweating etc.... Tough to deal with.
been on 10mg per day for over 10 years it seems to help me
It's rough. Maintaining weight is hard, losing near impossible. :(
I take 8mg a day for over 6months put over 1 stone on
Typical doses for daily consumption is anything from 2mg to 20 mg and sometimes more. It depends on you and the lowest dose you can manage on.
I am on 5 mg daily also take with azitromician daily really helps me as I do not have flare ups like I use to
