I hope your neuro has given you some advise concerning your food habits when taking high dose of pred: reduce salt, lipids and sugar (risk of weight gain and diabetis), take plenty of calcium (risk of osteoporosis) and potassium (pred depletes potassium in blood which could cause heart problems). Be also followed regularly for your eyes due to risk of cataract and glaucoma…
I don't want to frighten you but you need to be informed, I went through all this (75 mg/d Pred, i.e. 1 mg/kg of weight) without too much problem except cataract and glaucoma but I had cataract in one eye before MG and my father had both problems…
Take care,
Maurice.
