Re: prednisone no longer working??

Every time we go to Disneyland my son sick the whole time. Nothing works.

Just have fun that's what they want to do, they just can't handle the

excitement. Good luck char.

I can't comment on the predisone, as we never tried it, but I can say that when

we traveled overseas, in 3 weeks, had 3 VERY agressive episodes that were

hard to control (1 episode on EACH 16 hr flight-NIGHTMARE HELL). I think any

amount of stress or excitement can send these kids into a tailspin. You might

just be having a stress induced episode that is coming with a vengance.

I'm suprised your ENT is not making you priority. The made priority, as

this kids really suffer on a chronic basis. Very odd to me.

Hi Amy

We also had pred not working a couple of times. Once Emma needed a second dose

48 hours after the first dose as the fever was just uncontrollable and very

-like. It was after our son was born and Emma was cycling every 10-14 days.

The other occasions where pred didn't work ended up being other infections -

once strep and once an ear infection, both were treated successfully with

antibiotics.

Are you sure it's not something else? If you are then maybe try a second

dose, even a small one.

Once you have the surgery hopefully that will sort it out once and for all! We

haven't used a thermometer on Emma since the T & A in March.

Hope this helps

Regards

Inga
