Question:

Hi worried — I already mentioned this in another thread, but since you asked specifically — I too had a really bad reaction to prednisone. While I was in the hospital – and they wanted to put me on Haldol – was how "crazy" they thought I was behaving (mostly getting out of bed, and swearing a lot) but anyway – I was given Ativan and then was tapered off and put on Entocort, so got better as a result. But I can certainly understand what happened to your girlfriend. Good luck to her and to the both of you… She is indeed blessed with a caring, understanding partner [s] – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello again! Just thought, my simple "thanks" was not enough, so I waste a little more bandwidth before I disappear again.. Although I may come back, because I myself have serious problems with my ..hmm.. stool, unfortunately. but there is no diagnosis, I’ll have to see a doctor some time, oh yeah. Thanks for all your good and personal answers. I hope, my girl-friend will be all right soon. At present, she still suffers from the side-effects of her anti-psychotic medication. I would bet, she would feel much better or completely "normal", if she didn’t take those pills any longer, which block her motorics and her concentration. On the other hand, I may be wrong, if she _really_ has a new disease. Still, I don’t believe it, too obvious a connection to prednisolone. Future will tell who is right (the doctors or those who know her and know the circumstances, the prednisolone problem etc.). Sorry to hear that some people didn’t have an understanding partner. Nevertheless, all the best to all of you. thanks again great and busy group "worried"
