Apparently this is def the pred..... Well the achy joints. Still stuck on the water blisters!...
Thanks for the reply Sherbear, i am so joining the i hate pred group lol. If it's just that then i can get through it, i just hate it when my AS flares glad it might not be that!...
I have noticed that my toilet habits do depend on what i eat too! Maybe try keeping a food diary and see what sets you off?...
So i came of pred last Wednesday (thank god!), most of the side effects from it are going. The moonface is going down, i'm not hungry all the time and i can sleep! BUT i still have really achy...
I have had the same thing, no idea what causes it!...
Thank you for the advice, i think if it gets worse i will go to the dr's. I've been on pred for about 8 weeks (not including meds in hospital). I'm taking 3g for Salofalk orally, i have been doing...
Thanks :) Just seemed a bit strange, hopefully its not a cold coming. Don't wanna deal with that too!...
So i have been tapering my pred for a while now. Started off at 40g now down to 20g (had two weeks on 25g as i was getting symptoms again). I have had a look on the forum and i know the exhaustion...

I have had a MRI on my back (AS probs) and, i didn't have to have any chalky liquid. It is quite claustrophobic though as Judy said so if you are worried then you can be sedated. I sang in my head...
Hi Emma, I have just been diagnosed too, the dr's told me to keep my diet very bland and, not to have much fiber or whole grains. I have mainly been having white bread, white meat (chicken, turkey,...
You will only need to stay on insulin if you are a full blown type 1 diabetic with no steroids (Type 1 insulin dependent people do not produce any insulin what so ever so yes that is for life)....
Is she on any medications? Might sound silly but my dad is on a lot of meds and it makes him severely constipated, massive bloated belly and lots of pain. They have no idea what it is but, might be...
Ugh thanks annadee, my acne seems to be going a bit now at 30mg thank god! I did have a bit of acid reflux the other day but, i though it was just because i had eaten more than normal lol :tongue:...
Yep i don't want to be on it for too long, it messes with my diabetes too much. I want to get off it ASAP to be honest, it's the first time i have been on it....
Fingers crossed for you...
Thanks Gary, i feel like a fool but if the pred makes me feel better then its worth it lol. Hopefully it will go in the future!...
For those who helped in my first post, my own Dr finally spoke to one of the gastro doc's at the hospital and they agreed to put me on Salofalk 3g and put my pred back up to 30mg (or whatever it...
