Hi momma3love,
If you started Pred on last Friday at 40 mg/day right away, it doesn't suprise me that you ended up in ER…
Starting Pred usually causes a deterioration in MG condition, especially at high dose but even lower, I experienced that although I was started at 10 mg/day and I was an in-patient at that time…luckily I didn't have any breathing problem, only arm and legs muscles weakness and I was incapable of swallowing anything for 2 days. And it was only after a week that Pred was increased to 15 mg/day!
