I have been off prednisone for approx 3 weeks and I feel horrible!!! Yesterday I looked in the mirror and have hives on my face. My body feels extremely weak (the way you would feel if you had the flu) and I feel so confused at times.....anyone else feeling this way?
My body feels weak at time but not like having the flu. I'm actually having the shakes REALLY BAD. I was on prednisone for almost a month due to serious sinus infections. I also had steroid shots. I'll never take prednisone again. I went to the dr. yesterday and he said that I may being having withdrawals due to not taking the medication anymore and that steroids have different affects on everyone. I just want to feel normal again. I hope you're feeling better.
Same here. I'm off for the 3rd day. Took 45mg for 6 days.
Last night was the worst. I was feeling cold and started to shiver, temperature went up to 39 quickly, vomited 3 times, had minor diarrhea, increased heart beat and at one point, blood pressure went from normal to high. Luckily the panadol I took stayed in my system and temperature went off. I even thought of the worst case situation where I have to check into ER for an emergency shot (and get scolded for stopping steriod abruptly)
Today still couldn't eat, and having a temperature after around 6hr (when the panadol effect is over).
Hope I can sleep well tonight.
Guys, hang in there... eat lotsa nutritious food to make your body strong again.
