Rhod, Taking all of the prednisone in the morning may help with all the tiredness. Also, has your husband had his fasting glucose checked? Higher blood sugar is a side effect of prednisone. There is also the idea of adding either Imuran or Cellcept to the drug mix. These are immunosuppressants, but they take some time to kick in. There is also IVIg if you have good insurance. This kicks in a lot faster. For what it’s worth, I also had my legs give out a few times. Jim

Hi, Your husband is really on a very small amount of medication. There is lots of room for changes/increases. Jim is right about taking the pred in one early morning dose.
I would urge you to contact your doctor and report the issues. If you can’t get any action out of the doc, find a new one. It often takes a few tries to find a “good fit” as far as docs go. |
