Prednizone
by Cabo513, Jul 14, 2008 11:15AM
I had my thyroid removed 5 years ago and it was cancer. Since that time I take 100mg of synthroid a day and have gotten along fine. Two years ago I started hurting and aching all over to the point I could barely walk up or down stairs. My doctor, after tests, determined it must be fibromyalgia and prescribed 5mg of prednizone a day. To my relief it worked beautifully. No more aches or pains. Then I developed a yeast infection in my esophogus and I was sure it was from the prednizone, so I gradually took myself off of the it. (I live in Mexico and we do tend to medicate ourselves with the expertise of the internet) After two weeks, I once more had all the aches and pains return and still the chest burning of the yeast infection, it did not get better. So, I went back to the prednizone and feel much better again. My question is, of course, what are my dangers in continual use of the prednizone? I am very concerned but feel so much better I hate to go off of it again.
