Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 My mom had polymyalgia and the doctor put her on Prednazone and it was " supposed " to help her in 3 yrs or less. She was on for 8. Then when she had something seriously wrong her body was like a sponge and could not heal after an operation. The surgeon said it was the Prednazone and had she not been on that she would have made it through okay. She was on so much medication because each one would cause side effects and she'd be put on another one to counteract the side effects, ad nauseum. But, I'm sure it was the steroids that killed her. Forgive the spelling, please. My spell checker isn't picking up the words and my medical dictionary is stored away. Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
