Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (Warning for squeamish men, this post contains menstrual news!)Hi Leanne, I think I am queen of weird symptoms and don't know if anyone else has had these problems. Since I have been on prednisone my menstrual cycle has stopped. I have been on 10 mg for the last 6 weeks and felt fantastic and then yesterday my period started and my body went haywire. I woke up with no sight in my right eye, pain in both lungs and very shaky, BUT my O2 levels are fine! My pulmonist is at a loss to explain the eye thing. She moved me back up to 20 mgs prednisone and my eye is sore but sight is back. My other instructions are to get into the ER if my vision goes again. Weird, weird, weird! Any suggestions?

Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn't there. Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff. She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that verse that says, "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth."

I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You" I think it would probably do some of us good to occasionally say, "God, I don't know why you want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if you want me to carry it, I will." God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him...I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi , I would make an appointment with the gyn to see why your menstrual has stopped! If they can do blood tests etc...and make an appointment with the Eye Dr. At age 20, I was diagnosed with Endometriosis, several surgeries to control symptoms and my periods were stopped by meds. I don't have a menstrual cycle since then. 3 years later I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease that is the reason I had to go on Prednisone. As for me, I have noticed, that different medications can make me tired, sick to my stomach or make my body/immune system go haywire. Peggy, I had asked for a hysteroctomy at age 16, dr's refused to do it because I was young etc...

Hi Leanne, I think I am queen of weird symptoms and don't know if anyone else has had these problems. Since I have been on prednisone my menstrual cycle has stopped. I have been on 10 mg for the last 6 weeks and felt fantastic and then yesterday my period started and my body went haywire. I woke up with no sight in my right eye, pain in both lungs and very shaky, BUT my O2 levels are fine! My pulmonist is at a loss to explain the eye thing. She moved me back up to 20 mgs prednisone and my eye is sore but sight is back. My other instructions are to get into the ER if my vision goes again. Weird, weird, weird! Any suggestions?

She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff.

But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You" I think it would probably do some of us good to occasionally say, "God, I don't know why you want me to carry this load.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi , I would make an appointment with the gyn to see why your menstrual has stopped! If they can do blood tests etc...and make an appointment with the Eye Dr. At age 20, I was diagnosed with Endometriosis, several surgeries to control symptoms and my periods were stopped by meds. I don't have a menstrual cycle since then. 3 years later I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease that is the reason I had to go on Prednisone. As for me, I have noticed, that different medications can make me tired, sick to my stomach or make my body/immune system go haywire. Peggy, I had asked for a hysteroctomy at age 16, dr's refused to do it because I was young etc...
