Predisone can be horrid.  I've been on it in the past.  What you can expect: you may be jittery and have insomnia.  I'm talking major insomnia where you sleep for 3 hours a night, and you can keep on going like it's nothing.  I also had red flushing on my face and neck.  It will go away when you stop the prednisone.  It sounds bad, but it's a miracle drug.


I've not been on it myself but those I have known who took it experienced this, plus a lot of bloating.  When on it for a prolonged period, they gained a lot of "water weight." 

I hope you feel better.

Myself...I have 2 metal rods and a dozen screws in my lower back....I will only do a MRI if there is no other test....WHY...because it hurts like hell....sometimes I can not even walk afterward......the magnitics DOES pull at metal things...or at least some metal things...they do pull at the rods and screws in my back......I cannot take them out as they are part of my spine....now when the doctors insist I have a MRI...I just make sure I have someone with me...and get a shot of morphine before and after the test...the longest one I have had took 2 hours.

Gawd yes!  Katy is right on about the prednisone.  I couldn't sleep..... no matter how exhausted I was, I could not get any sleep.  I was grouchy and tired and miserable.  You forget about your original ailment because the drug makes you feel like shit........ at least in my experience.  I was ready for someone to just shoot me!

Status: offline 		Well I had my MRI this morning.  Only took about 30 agonizing minutes of laying flat on my back.  My poor muscles were spasming by the end.  I get the result within 48 hours.  I've been up since one this morning so I guess the insomnia has started to kick in.  Does anyone know if prednisone kills the appetite because I have none.

I have to have it done on my neck...the c-spine is what I think they call the section.  It appears that I  have a slipped disc which would explain nine days of constant pain.  Nothing too serious.  I suppose I won't be able to bring my wee ones then based on the time.  My only piercings are in my ears and nose.  Not concerned about the nose, but some of my ears are cartilage piercings and I don't want them to close up since they haven't been in all that long.  I don't have any time to try and track down spacers...any one know what I can use to keep the piercing s open.

Also...anyone have any experirence with prednisone?  I'm on it for the next ten days.


Pred - yes. If you are on it for ten days you should be OK. But you want to get off it in ten days. At ten days you may find yourself more wakeful and a little bitchier than normal, but the major effects don't usually set in for about six eight weeks. I did it for a year, and I've never been so happy to get off a drug in my life.

Status: offline 		pred is a great med short term. long term it is hell. i took it for 20 yrs (after a liver transplant). it gave me drug induced diabetes and early onset pre-osteroporosis. i took myself off of it (against my dr.'s wishes) 2 yrs ago. i still have the diabetes but my last dexa showed no decline in my bone mass.

Yes, I have taken it several times.  Some side effects are flushing of face, metal taste in mouth, and watch out for this, huge appetite.  You feel like always eating.  Unfortunately, it never really worked to solve my problems with my back.  I have taken it for asthma and it did work.

Well of course it's no problem for the patient. However it is a problem for the "uninformed" tech who just LOVES to get bitched up one side and down the other by the DOCTOR. You know, the one that thinks the tech is incompetent because they didn't have the pt. remove the metal items. Bandaids don't "hide" the items. It just makes it easier for the tech to explain to the Dr. that they are covering jewelry.

Really people, come on...how hard is it to take out a few metal studs for the small amount of time the MRI takes?? I've been present when a Dr. gave some poor fellow tech an ass chewing (that lasted longer than the MRI did) all because a pt refused to remove their "jewelry". Trust me, they don't want to hear it. In the Dr's opinion it's our job to have you (the pt) remove them. We ask you to do it because the Doc wants them removed..not because we're trying to be bitchy and difficult. So just remove them and let us do our job ok?? Seriously.

end rant.

Status: offline 		Well...it appears that I have a severely herniated disc between C5 and 6 and a lesser one between 6 and 7.  The doc already mentioned surgery and that comletely freaked me out.  I'm wondering if anyone here has had this and what treatments did you use.  I'm hoping to avoid any kind of surgery.  I have one appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to get his opinion, but it's not until the 29th.  I'm waiting for a call back from another one.  I've been told to do no manipulation of any kind at all to my neck and to not lift anything or do anything strenuous.  Help!

If there is nerve involvement, like pins and needles and numbness in your arms,then I stongly recommend going to a neurosurgeon, even if you're not actually planning on surgery.  I wasted a whole year with an orthopedic guy who just flexed his muscles and read old MRI's and sent me to PT and for epidural injections.  The neurosurgeon diagnosed the root problems almost immediately, and, while surgery was my only option, it had great results.

I do know several people who have had disc surgery on their necks and also had excellent results.

Seriously, the complaints about a toe ring on an MRI dealing with the cranium, or nipple rings on a knee scan, are just as likely to come from petty bullying on the part of a minor bureaucrat, as from a Doctor.

And if you think that no staff tries to be bitchy and difficult, and it all comes from the doctors, you've never set foot inside a medical facility.
