I've been on Prednisone since October 2000, from a 5 day 1000mg of IV form of prednisone to 60mg tablet when they sent me home from the hospital... and as my doctors reduce it, the side effects get worse and worse... It sucks. I've taken celebrex, doesn't do anything now. It did work when I was taking 60mg alternating with 20-30mg every other day. Now I'm on 60mg alternating with 5mg. I feel horrible on the 5mg days. Tylenol 3 works sometimes but not all the time. I can take 3 Tylenol 3s and pain remains... Anybody know of anything or any drug that helps with this? Prednisone has been around for a long time, I'm sure somebody knows something... Please respond... Thanks!
