I was prescribed Prednisolone to treat Polymyalgia 11 years ago. Initially I took 15mg a day which was quickly reduced to 10 and gradually to 5mg. I have tried gradually reducing the dose many times in the intervening years but always ended up with a severe return of the original problem. I have now managed to reduce the dose to 4mg daily. My condition is aggravated by my having type 2 Diabetes for which I take insulin because of the steroid treatment. I have recently noticed swelling in my legs and ankles during the evening more especially during periods of hot weather. Also my stomach and breasts seem enlarged. I am trying again to reduce the dose but am concerned about long term effects. Any comments or advice would be appreciated. ## You may always have to take a medication to treat...

I have been on prednisolone for 5 weeks. Started with 25mg for 2 weeks (I felt amazing on this dose), then tapered down to 15mg for a week and a half when I had a flare up of my condition, and my surgeon told me to increase to 50mg. That was rough. I was so angry inside and had no control over my emotions. I was on 50mg for a week. I’ve now tapered back to 25mg for a couple of weeks. It’s now day 6 of the lower dose. The first couple of days, I was an emotional mess, couldn’t stop the tears. I couldn’t function. The surgeon had told me I’d have a rough couple of days and he wasn’t wrong. I feel I am starting to level out and am less emotional but I am just so tired. I wake up exhausted, then nap and still don’t wake up feeling any better. Is thi...

No, that is a common dosage, it is normal for it to prescribed in a large bolus, which is then slowly tapered to treat some conditions, if they are severe.

Dear Mam/Sir, I am taking 40 mg Wysolone tablet after Pregnancy. My question is that What is the side effect of this medicine on my baby because baby depends on me (feeding). ## Hi, Meenaskshi! Congrats on the baby! :-) This is a steroid, it contains the active ingredient Prednisolone, which is known to cross into the milk and thus, also to the baby. However, testing showed that the amounts ingested by infants were actually negligible. They really don't think that the exposure that an infant receives is significant enough to worry about. But if you're concerned, please discuss the issue with your doctor. Learn more Prednisolone details here. ## Dear Mam, Im in the 8th week of pregnancy.

Hello, I'm a 61yrs of age Scotsman and for the past 1.5yrs started getting severe breathlessness bouts. Especially, if I attempt exercise or go up any gradients such as steps or hills feeling like a goldfish out of water - so to speak. I had been taking Prednisolone in Thailand over the past ten years or so previous to my return to the UK. This steroid use because I had 3 nasal polyps’ removal operations in Thailand that where a complete and utter farce, lasting only 2 months tops on the first operation then less on both the latter ops. I started taking Prednisolone because I saw that they used these medications. Thus, before and after the ops to reduce my nasal polyps and to stop the secretion pouring down my nasal passages. Alas, not having done any groundwork on this drug f...
