It sounds like the Medrol pack. She didn't give me a name. Just handed me three paper envelopes with instructions on each.
It was being given for a miliaria, so this should be short term. If I'm remembering the packets right, another week.
I'll call my pdoc if it causes me problems. But I'm sort of hoping it lasts a bit longer. I'm getting a lot done. As long as it doesn't get worse than it is now, I think I'll enjoy it.
I do have to be careful about doing too much physical activity and sweating more though. And I'm driving my husband batty by being speeded up enough that not only do I annoy him, but he is seeming to me to be soooooo slooowwwww.
Thanks. I never realized there was a connection before now. This explains the reaction a dog of mine had. He had pancreatic cancer, and just before he died, the doctor prescribed prednisone. He had the best weekend he'd had in months. Rolled on the grass like a puppy. Then died of a heart attack on Tuesday. But I've had a couple of others on it long term who had no brain reaction at all that I could see.
