I just do what I can do get over the exacerbations. The last time my ears were really affected, like a roaring ocean, was terrible. I let my PCP give me a shot of Predisone in the rear. Wasn't enough to really effect me bad and it helped GREATLY! |
Hey Marcia
I get the red "moon" face too. I don't get the screaming meemies, I just sleep all the time. I have the opposite reaction that most people do. I am so lethargic that they really keep an eye on me, BP is low, etc. I have had thrush twice, and I get a horrible "steroid" headache, upset stomach, and the rash. I don't like them, but it's the only way I get out of an exacerbation.
Luckily, my exacerbation rate has slowed down in the past 2 years! Yeah!
