Prednisone round has ended after six weeks worth. And now I am breaking
out in itchy spots all over again, more every day. And I'm ON my new diet too. What IS this stuff? So thoughts and prayers appreciated. I need to figure out what is causing this. Quickly. Karen, Queen of Squishies |

Karen, Queen of Squishies IANAMD, but IMO it's likely a side effect of coming off pred, and should subside within a few days (at most). Hang in there. By all means, put in a call to your doctor's office and ask. Doc |

Can the docs culture the spots and determine what they are? I'm asking because my sister is on a large-dose regime of Prednisone for bad liver function. It's interfered with her immune system and caused her to break out also. Once they finally cultured hers they got the right antibiotic to treat it. Sherry |

Sherry Hi Sherry, Different circumstances - your sister has a side effect of being ON pred; Karen's is a result of coming OFF of pred. Sometimes the effect/ result can be the same - other times not. GENERAL ADVICE for EVERYONE: Pick up a copy of the PDR Pocket Guide to Prescription Drugs for your home medical library (about $9 US) - an invaluable reference with info the docs never tell you about what you're taking. Also: Read those drug information sheets with all the fine print that come with your prescriptions - they've got important info too. IME, it's surprising how many folks never read those things... Doc |

I do hope this goes away very quickly -- I just can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be dealing with yet another problem. {{{Hugs}}} -- gentle ones, just in case. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |
