Title: Sicka->-bleeped-<-
Post by: Ms Bev on October 17, 2009, 12:24:00 AM

Arrrggghhhhh!!!!!

G*&D#$!!

I'm sick again. My lungs are trying to drown me. Again. This is my 3rd round of mega-dose prednisone, and a new antibiotic in about 7 weeks. My lungs are happily bubbling and sizzling away.
THAT'S why I'm awake at this time of night. The prednisone has me AWAKE!
It would be better if I were making money, but I'm not, because I can't work. I'm also off my hrt meds, and with this load of steroids, I'm.....
UNHAPPY.

Not looking for sympathy here, just.......awake. And peevish

*wheeeze*

Prednisone is evil, evil, evil.

That being said, it can be effective sometimes.

My friend next door also is have lung problems and is taking Prednisone. And I have taken it before because of my COPD. Prop your self up at a 45^o angle and see if you can sleep some, Bev.

It is now about Noon your time and I hope you are fast asleep.

Get well soon, my Sister. :icon_hug: :icon_hug: :icon_hug: :icon_hug:

I hate prednisone..but it works well. On the occasions I had to take it I counted the days until I could stop. Made me eat like a horse on top of everything else :(

Hope you feel better soon.

I have COPD and that was a trick taught to me by my doctor. It works because you are not have the fluids gather in the lungs.

Glad I could help.
