Trevor Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Chris continues to have major trouble with her arms (but less so now her legs, although they are a long way from perfection). She's been prescribed Prednisolone 5mg tablets at the rate of 12 per day! She's taken them now for 3 days. They seem to have reduced her swelling (in arms) but she remains in much pain. Has anyone any information on side-effects / results or speed of effect?They have been prescribed with our planned holiday in mind (depart next Weds 25th); Chris's consultant wants her to go & told us that hopefully the steroids will build her up pre-trip.She had scans & xrays last week which showeds only a minor amount of fluid in right lung, everything else unchanged, so if we can get her arms sorted it is all systems go!ThanksTrevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nardobd Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi TrevorI'm glad the swelling has at least gone down a bit. You may want to look on the following website for information: www.patient.co.uk/medicine/Prednisolone.htm and this links to the manufacturer's website patient information leaflet: emc.medicines.org.uk/document.aspx?documentId=19307.Hope that helps and if we don't 'speak' before then have a lovely trip. All the bestNicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
