Re: Today is my last dose of prednisone

[Guest guest]

sorry to hear about your son. Thats horrible, hope he is

doing better. Has he told you anything about the landing. Did he hit

his head or anything on the way down. Yikes. You must have been so

devastated.

I know what you mean about focusing on someone elses problems. I

think it generally keeping busy that feels good, because when your

constantly on the go doing somethign you fail to focus on your own

problems. However I wouldnt recommend dwelling so deep you forget

the important things like medications and dosages. That would be a

not good thing.

I also want to congratulate you on overcoming one more med. I know

as my meds get decreased I get all excited. Last thursday while

filling my pill case for the week, my dosages have decreased so

much since my transplant surgery I could have sworn I was forgetting

some. As for how long before the shaking stops, Having never

experienced that side effect from the prednisone, I couldnt say.

I'll be taking it for the rest of my life sadly. I'd imagine as with

any drug it should be out of your system completely within a few

days. Then again everyones system is a lil different.

I'm so happy you're feeling better though, my best to you and your

son.

Hi ,

That must have scared you half to death to see your son reacting like that

after his fall. I am relieved everything turned out ok. It is hard when you

can't take your eyes off him for even a minute and they are so active. Oh, the

challenges of being a Mommy!

That was so nice of you to help out your friend like that. As Tony said

though, please make sure you take care of yourself in the middle of taking care

of

others.

I too will have to defer to others who have been through the Prednisone

withdrawals to answer your question on the shakes.
