Hi all, I wanted to apologize for the title of my post about hair loss--"Hair loss--for all you *balding woolymammoths* out there, good news from a Pred-head". With the title, I was trying to make...
Hi GLOVE, Thanks for the note! Any problems with your potassium levels?...
Hi, Im wondering if anyone out there has had problems with super-ventricular tacchycardia after prednisone. I know the first few instances my potassium was completely out of wack because of the pred...
Hi Ellen, Im really sorry to hear that youre going through that. Are you able to take naps? I also had trouble sleeping and was only getting 5 hours/nite if lucky. This did get better for me and then...
Hi Ellen, I definitely got the anxiety from the prednisone. When I was at 60mg I was having completely irrational thoughts, even with the klonapin. Even after being off pred for 2 or 3 months, I...
Hi, WoW! 3 treatments in 6 weeks, sounds rough! I have had a lot of problems with yeast, but none to speak of from the UC meds. Mine were mostly down yonder, in the vaginal and anal region, but Ive...

Thanks, ladies. Ill give my doc a call tomorrow. Pam, congratulations on your baby boy!...
Hi all, I mentioned this in another post, but I think it was a little off topic there. I began severely flaring around 6/25 and have been on 60mg prednisone for 6 days now. I guess overall I am much...
Lol! Eva Lou, your post makes me want to go out and kick some as*! Ill try to keep a bit of that edge with me... So it sounds like you all recommend opening up to those closest to you, based on what...
Hey, Just wanted to check in, and see how youre doing (?), cause I am also on my second day of 40mg pred, first time. I thought it was a miracle the first day, like i was cured or something. BUt it...
Thank you all for your input, it definitely helps to commisserate! I was diagnosed last year, and Im turning 33 in a week, so I agree with Laura and really really feel for you guys that are a bit...
Yeah, thats exactly right! I mentioned to my friend that I was in there 13 times overnite, and she was like: "oh wow, 13 times!" And then proceeded to tell me that she what she was going to eat for...
Hey, Yeah, I just tried hydrocortizone enemas for the first time last week. Up till then, id only used the suppositories, so it was a bit different. For me, the instructions were to lay on my left...
