Has anyone else taken 1250mg Predisone?
I was wondering what kind of side effects you experienced.
Tracy

whenever I've had prednisone for any reason, it makes me hungry. Might make me a little grumpy. Gives me some energy. Sometimes I've gotten fatigue, but that might have been related to the particular flare I had at the time.

I've taken it in high doses by IV for vision related stuff, and taken it as a short course of oral prednisone for non-vision related stuff. (the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial recommends that you do IV steroids for vision related flares)

I've also had a couple of extremely low dose oral prednisone for pain relief when I had frozen shoulder about a year and a half ago. (frozen shoulder was NOT ms related. Probably got that from a nurse giving me a flu shot in the wrong spot on my arm). Even the extremely low dose prednisone made me hungry. But it was awesome for the pain from the frozen shoulder. Was the only thing that controlled the shoulder pain. Morphine didn't even touch the shoulder pain, but the prednisone was awesome.

IV administered does nothing to me for side effects, bit oral administered knocks me out cold on my *** for some reason.

Hi Tracy.. I haven't had pred. for awhile, but it always made me a jittery wreck,
and sleepless in Ohio.. It didn't always work in stopping the MS flare,
so I stopped taking it.

Hope it works for you!!!

I just came off a five day course of IVSM (1 gram/day) and I've decided that anything can be a steroid side effect!! I got a red moon face, was terribly emotionally unstable, tired at times but wide awake at others, and my vision went blurry. Just got over he crash yesterday which basically felt like I was dying. Also had to pee all the water out that accumulated in me. I has relief from my leg spasticity for about 5 days. It's back now.

Well the prednisone didn't help at all that I can see.
My eye still hurts, and my vision is still bad. I spent the last five days feeling like a low voltage electrical current was running through me, and oh so dizzy.
This was no fun at all.
I hope I get some answers from my MRI last week and the one tomorrow.
