Re: cholesterol/Prednisone

[Guest guest]

......what are the negative symptoms that everybody is talking

about...

Prednisone is an artificial steroid. Certain conditions can cause

your adrenals to temporarily stop producing enough of your body's own

steroid, cortisol, causing you to feel ill. When this happens, a

short course of Prednisone will take over, so that your immune system

can carry on doing its job.

If you take Prednisone for too long it could cause your adrenals to

stop functioning, making you dependent on the artificial stuff.

Doctors don't really know that much about the role of Cortisol and

tend to prescribe it the same way for every person, when perhaps one

person needs 10mg and another might need 40mg. Your body produces

cortisol as required, not a fixed amount, so it is very difficult to

know what your body needs at any time.

There is quite a bit of research out there, Ray Peat is one to look

out for. Steroids are lifesavers, in the correct dosage, at the right

time.

Hope this helps

Also, to my knowledge......taking prednisone can be bad for your bones, and

also thin your skin............making you bruise easily and bleed easily.

Restless, bloat, weight gain around your face and shoulders.....sleepless

nights rearin to go feeling.

I have a son who was on prednisone for several years when he was 5. He was

the tinyest fattest kid in kindergarten:-) It is known to slow growth. I

thought and worried he would be stunted by it, but he is a bodybuilder now,

and about 6'1 " and in fantastic shape. So, my theory is; when and if you

need it...get it, and take it and then get off it:-)

In diabetics it can raise blood sugar to very high values. My husband has to

watch this when they want to give it to him.
