How long does it normally take for you to feel better after starting prednisone? I have been on other treatment for MG but for some reason over the last couple of months it isn't working like it used to. I am thinking about going the prednisone route but am still unsure because I have had flare ups of MG in the past and it has always calmed down eventually without the use of Prednisone. This flare is lasting longer than usual so I am in a little pickle right now.

My neuro wants me to see a MG specialist at the end of the month for a second opinion on my treatment plan so I have until September 30th to decide if I want to try prednisone. I guess the hospital stay, the "getting worse before you get better" kinda frightens me a little bit as well as the possible side effects of prednisone.

I'm so confused.
