Prednisone
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

So I was on 50 mg for 5 days and then my doctor wanted to see what I like on a lighter dose as a taper for a couple weeks. I never felt better. I wasn't coughing up stuff and I was less breathless.

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

It was supposed to give me a little boost while recovering from the last symptoms of aspiration pneumonia (just some weakness). Now, I’m so sick…on Day 3, 40mg. And I’ve never heard that Prednisone had this paradoxical effect on them.
Is this just my great luck? Thanks.
