Re: Re: Danger of low Maintence Dose of prednisone

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

My friend Kipy, who is moderator and founder of

SarcoidBuddies Group, has the following biographic

info on her group site:

*********

I was put on Prednisone several times and every time I

came down on it I got worse. So, My Rhumatologist

brought me down to FIVE mg and left me there for 8

years.... I was worried about what the prednisone

would do being on it that long...but, he assured me

that this Low " Maintence Dose " wouldn't be enough to

cause problems later. Well, I have found out now that

isn't true. Even low doses of Pred can do damage. I

now have Diabetes (which is drug induced from Long

term use of Prednisone).

********

If your doctor prescribes a Low " Maintence Dose " of

prednisone be wary. It is better to take a higher dose

as needed like a.

Love,
