Ashc Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I definitely don't. I am keen on knowing what the effects on other people are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I took Prednisone ( 60 mg to 10 mg over 6 days ) twice for joint pains. My autonomic specialist always told me that I could not take it b/c of my POTS, and he was right 😒. I did OK while I was on it but stopping it caused one of the most horrible flares, with high BP etc. The second time we weaned slower - instead of stopping at 10 mg I took 1 mg less every day. I still had the same flare - so I was told not to take steroids at all unless it's an emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
