Prednisone

Dang, that stuff makes you eat like a freak! I end up on it once a year or so when I get this resp. infection.

I had a salad and two bowls of soup for supper...a handful of M&M's, an ice cream bar and just polished off a bag of popcorn...and I am still hungry?

Steriods will make you fat!

 

gotta pee more than usual?

 

It made me absolutely feel like I was going to come out of my skin. I had a very quick temper, to the point of being beligerent at times. I'm not a patient driver, and that stuff made me just short of homocidal. I had to stop taking it before I finished the prescription.

 

I just finished a round of it. I fractured my foot on NY's eve and they put me on them. Some of my postings on the 1st and 2nd of January reflect my temperament while I'm taking them mixed with a narcotic!

 

No effect on my tempe or pee schedule...but my daily poo has become a weekly event...a few more days and I will be done with it. Here's to normalcy.:cheers:

 

Exactly the way they do me. I remember a couple years ago, absolutely going apeshit on someone I work with. Well, they deserved it but that's beside the point. I had to explain to them, while they normally make me that mad, I can handle it, but with steroids, I couldn't.

 

Roid rage.

 

I need to go back to the Quacktor, as soon as the prednisone was gone everything came back...although milder this time. Everytime I laydown, I start hacking. I've been sleeping in the basement in my recliner just to be able to get a little rest.

 

My doctor ended up putting me on prednisone as well as an antibiotic last week. She said the prednisone should take care of things, but I feel cruddy today. It's the whole wet fall and winter in the midwest. They're saying it's mold...

 

Prednisone will make you swell up like a balloon.
