Ive had a chest infection since 17th December. This week I was given a second lot of antibiotics, a type which should be used with caution in MG patients. I only realised this once I had taken 4 of them and the mestinon stopped working and I was getting very weak very quickly. It was very scary and I ended up seeing an emergency GP. The emergency GP gave me Augementin, which was fine until yesterday when I suddenly started having an allergic reaction to penicillin. I have never had a problem with penicillin before. My face and mouth swelled and my face, back and neck were covered in a red blotchy rash which was a tad uncomfortable! So please accept my apologies in not replying earlier!

Ok so back to your thread. I went up to 60mg of Pred, it was only when I got to around 20mg that the moonface started to subside. Under 20mg it really disappeared very quickly.

I hope that you find the side effects of Pred disappear quickly.

Love
