Fvck the prednisone. I took it for 3 days and I have 2 days left.
Not. Gonna. Dew. It.
I've gained 8 pounds in the last 3 days and no, it's not the Easter candy. A couple extra bags of fun size Skittles doesn't make you gain that kind of weight. prednisone does. I look 5 months pregnant. It's making me feel depressed and like a crazy lady.
Plus, as I tend to sort of check out nurse mode and into patient mode, I completely freaking forgot that you're not supposed to take prednisone if you have a fungal infection which apparently my doctor thinks I have as I'm on an antifungal nose spray. GAH. Although he also prescribed me a known contradictory antibiotic to prednisone as well which I did catch and he said it was fine and ended up being a non issue as I was allergic to said antibiotic and only took one dose anyway. The term "tendon blowout" is not a side effect to be taken lightly.
Anyway, just wanted to get that out there. Taytee doesn't always follow doctors advice either.
Re: I'm going to go against doctors advice here...
Good for you. My DH was prescribed this recently. I read about it and decided 1. The Dr should not have prescribed it and 2. I would not take it if prescribed. He of course took it anyway since he follows "all dr's orders" (yet will only go to a dr if he feels like he is dying).
