Don't think it costs too much - actually had to buy it for my dog's ear infection - nope - she didn't have insurance - can't remember what it cost - but as I said - not too much - hope it helps -

Char
Hope the roids do the job and you're feeling better soon.

I've been putting off the roids myself, for several weeks now.

Default Please heed Holly's words!!

Char -

I have to agree with Holly. When my doc screwed me over (sorry, that's what he did) last May...I ended up on prednisone pills - highdose - and it was AWFUL. However, I only ended up on the pills b/c it was a holiday weekend and I couldn't get anything else b/c the doc waited too long. Anyhow - the doc on call for him wanted to get me the liquid to swallow. He said it would be icky - but I'd be done with it in 4 days and NOT have the same side effects of the pills.

Something for you to consider... I know I would have much rather had the liquid to swallow even though I have a very strong gag reflex. And actually, the pills were horrific to swallow, too.

Are you on a dose pack of the prednisone or just plain pills? What dosage?

we'll hold your hands until it passes.

hope you feel better.

Its really upsetting to need a treatment, and not be able to afford it.

I'm so sorry you got that dreaded news 'exacerbation' that all of us despise. . I think asking your doc for solumedrol to drink might be a good idea as others have suggested. Feel better, Char

Thanks Everyone.... last night was a rough night but I took my first dose of roids this morning so it will only get better from here, RIGHT?

I am on the 4 day drop / 25 mlg each.

If this doesn't help I will talk to him about the Solumel. Thanks for the suggestion - I think?

I never heard of the liquid form but that is awesome! Jim hasn't been on steroids in forever because he had too many. Now they are thinking about prednisone for him again. Not sure why since he feels good. I wonder of it's for his bladder or something since steroids have been known to heal other things?

No matter what I pray you'll feel better soon Char! Have a good day at school.
