Went to gp.,he said lymph nodes they were also swollen under my arms., he advised lower the 20mg pred to 10mg and call neuro and let him know that gp said lymph nodes swelled and extreme swelling of arms and face., and since I was only on it 10 days., he says to only take the 10mg today and see how the neuro wants to taper it. Gave me a script for blood work., to see if any infection or what? Went for blood work., when I got home I called the Neuro like the GP said ( this is the neuro I don't like and am waiting to go to the other one., gp wants me to see the one I am waiting for and he is trying to get me in) told the staff at neuro exactly: Gp advised me to call you and let you know my lymph nodes are swollen up my arms and under arms and he was sending me for blood work., and lowered the prednisone to 10mg and wanted neuro to taper it the way he felt best as he prescribed it ...THE NEURO OFFICE CALLED BACK AND SAID., JUST QUIT TAKING IT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAPER., AND THE NEURO WILL SEE YOU WEDNESDAY. I SAID NO TAPER????? SHE SAYS NO HE WILL SEE YOU WEDNESDAY. Needless to say I called my gp and advised his staff to tell him what the neuro said as I feel very awkward and scared to just quit taking it., and advised if she could please tell the gp what the neuro said........NOW WHAT., I think I just want to be with my gp till I can get into the neuro specialist on MG, this is just crazy., well I am now waiting to see what the GP says., but I know he felt it should be tapered.
