Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 hi everyone i just want to say thank you for the great tips and ideas you all gave me. i have stopped taking prednisone ,i did do it cold turkey. i know that i should have been weaned off ,but i feel that this is much better for me to do than keep taking this drug. someone emailed me a article about kidney exercise's and im doing them. whats funny to me is that i was healthier before i took this drug. it gave me weight gain ,which i suppose is ok if the drug had worked but it just made me worse. if anybody ask's about prednisone,it really is a good drug ,it did give me relief-but once you stop taking it -it feels like my whole body fell to pieces-not really good for a long period of time. as far as the remedies that everyone suggested,im going to go to a herbal doctor ,my medical coverage covers this -so thax again for the advice androshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 i was on prednisone, and it has a lot of bad side effects. like most drugs when you start taking them you usually know right away that the drug is not for you with a rash or something.. but not with prednisone. Because it has more serious things. Like weight gain, or rounding of the face, hair loss, extreme thrist, extreme dry skin, making you feel like you have had 30 cups of coffee, Good luck to you.. i am glad that you were able to go off of it.Monchello Androshi <warlocke_rising wrote: hi everyone i just want to say thank you for the great tips and ideas you all gave me.i have stopped taking prednisone ,i did do it cold turkey.i know that i should have been weaned off ,but i feel that this is much better for me to do than keep taking this drug.someone emailed me a article about kidney exercise's and im doing them.whats funny to me is that i was healthier before i took this drug.it gave me weight gain ,which i suppose is ok if the drug had worked but it just made me worse.if anybody ask's about prednisone,it really is a good drug ,it did give me relief-but once you stop taking it -it feels like my whole body fell to pieces-not really good for a long period of time.as far as the remedies that everyone suggested,im going to go to a herbal doctor ,my medical coverage covers this -so thax again for the adviceandroshiFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.
