Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 It's been only 5 1/2 weeks since my last Prednisone burst (my 3rd in 3 years), and already my polyps have returned, while also I've had more sinus pressure, and my left ear feels like I'm still in an airplane. But I had made several mistakes after that first burst - I tried to go without Nasonex, and I didn't yet have a good nasal irrigator. So I wanted to do another pred. burst so as to see how things would go by using Nasonex and the irrigator, in addition to Singulair. I hate to go to the Pred so soon again, but pretty comfortable and am wondering how I would do after it's over, using the new things. My questions are - 1) What's the damage of doing a second Prednisone burst so soon after the first? 2) Should the dosage be the same as what I had been prescribed by my ENT in the past, and what I used last month? (60 mg for 9 days, then 50mg for 1 day, 40 for 1, 30 for 1, 20 for 1, and 10 for 1) I've already read that Pred. effectiveness diminishes over time, and the side effects eventually come to get you, but I'm curious how it would apply in this situation.
