Just wondering if anyone is on a daily dose of prednisone?
I have been on it before for only 20 days, 20 mg. It helps me tremendously. I have trouble keeping weight on and it gives me an appetite. It also gives me more energy, which with fibromyalgia and COPD… read more

When and how often should you use a steroid. I'm having trouble breathing with the heat and humidity.
Ive been on prednisone for over 3 months started at 50 mg down to 25 mg seems to be only thing helping at this point as i have stage 4 end of life
My body isn't liking it, I have to go on prednisone for a couple of weeks. Here's my 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.
No answer but prednisone causes alot of other problems, many. Fluid builds up just below your knees, your eyes are effected, memory loss. It saved me, I'm still taking it. I started at 60mg now I'm at… read more
