Hi all,
I went to my neuro yesterday, I mainly have ocular, facial , swallowing and fatigue issues. He put me on 10 mg of prednisone every other day. The mestinon was not doing alot for me and I had to take such a low dose he felt it wasn't effective. When I had pneumonia 6 weeks ago or so I was put on prednisone., since that time I have felt very good. He also feel my pneumonia was from aspirating. He wants me to check my diabetes counts more often, I do not take meds for diabetes., and watch my blood pressure which I do take meds for. He also advised me to get the pneumonia shot and hepatitis b vaccines, as where I work it could be a concern. He had 3 medical students in with me and him., every one says what a wonderful teacher he is.
If anyone is on this prednisone regiman, I could use some advice for dieting as I do not want to gain weight.
Thanks everyone
