The reason I recommended more prednisone was because I thought your problem was fatigue. now that I review what you said I do not see that mentioned.

I’m not sure what changes you are referring to. I was speaking to someone yesterday who has major fatigue, problems, and hard time getting out of bed in the morning. he’s on 5 mg and a shortage of cortisol could be causing his problems, and more prednisone might fix it.

Not knowing the details of “changes in me” Makes it difficult to suggest anything. Maybe in your case you’re taking too much prednisone.

You definitely have to talk to your doctor and try to resolve this. You might consider getting a palliative care doctor. They work with people to resolve conflict with medicine they are taking that are causing them medical problems.

This site has been so good to me. These last few posts got me to thinking about my meds and side effects. Some how I forgot I get a Xgeva treatment each month for bone strength. Side effects include shortness of breath and fatigue. Bingo, I finally realize where my sides are coming from. I was on monthly for one year, now I just started getting quarterly. Hoping they back off some over time. I've been pushing through for the last 18 months but at times it gets rough with no let up. This site has been a blessing to me with so many caring and sharing people on here, I thank all you. Best to all.
