Any of you blokes ever take Prednisone?

I have to take it to get rid of poison Ivy. Never had any issues with it as far as sleeping or personality issues.

I had similar regimens of Prednisone for eczema back when I had it pretty bad. However, my doses were 6 the first night and then diminish by one on subsequent nights. The first 48 hours would be sleepless except for maybe a one hour nap somewhere.

Eczema is an itchy skin condition that I would generally have show up on my chest. Taking the Prednisone would get rid of the rash, but I would turn red all over and itch all over instead of just my chest. I was always glad to get to about day 4 of the 6 day regimen.

Switched to a shot of Kenalog (spelling?), but it would do the same thing as far as getting red and itching all over, but at least I wasn't in a state of sleeplessness.

I don't recall any weird dreams though, with either one of the drugs.

Consult your DR and try Triamcinolone Acetonide cream for that eczema. One treatment and it's gone.

Yes, I've taken it. No, I've never had any issues. You guys are just weird.

Last time I took it was when I had mononucleosis a decade ago. I went from feeble and frail to eating 3 frozen pizzas and doing pullups and pushups in a matter of an hour.

I think that was the drug a doctor had my 88-year-old mother on for a while. She was seeing giant deer out on her lawn and got off the stuff.

The smaller doses for poison ivy doesn’t bother me much. Dosing can vary massively from 2.5 mg per day to 1250 mg. I start having minor issues above 20 mg. At 60 mg, I need to just be left alone, in the dark, in a quiet room, and a lot of patience from those around me. I become an angry, paranoid, lunatic, that can’t sleep. I’d fit in well with the delusional conspiracy theorists. Still sometimes worth it (belly’s palsy).

All to say, note your dosage. just because your good at lower dosage…

When you are clear of all irritants in your respiratory system. I just passed a month...
