Subject: Withdrawals or Not?

Hello everyone! Yes it's me again! As you may know, am now on very low dose of prednisolone, today is my 5th day on 3mg and oh boy it is hard to drop just that 1mg.

Ever since I went down to 4mg and now 3 I have been experiencing the following:

*Hay fever/nasal congestion which somehow has eased a lot but not totally, and has been with me for a few weeks now.

*Itchiness on my face, eyelids specially but there is no rashes - this is also on and off.

*Developed a tiny little red lump on my eyelid which is not itchy nor sore but it is there and felt it today, initially thought it was a scratch that I may have caused if I scratched/rubbed my eyes (yeah I know, naughty me).

*Headaches, yeah they are bad and have been worse since I started praparing my body for the 3mg (4-4-3-4-4-3-4-4-3).

This headaches seem to be worse when I wake up but ofcourse have them on and off throughout the day. Even my vision is affected as I don't see quite clear (blurry/foggy) - again it's not all day with me.

What is going on? Should I be concerned? Like I said - there is no point contacting my specialist as he is not very understanding, let alone be sympathetic and I don't feel all that sick, just these symptoms are getting to me a bit and definately do NOT wish to up again the prednisolone. I feel I have come this far but these headaches (no nausea or vomiting) - I must also add that I have always been prone to headaches, someone told me there are not migraines - what are they then? I know you are no doctors but wonder if all this is also prednisolone related or is it something else and what do I do?

Sorry for my long post but just don't have anyone I can turn to.

Thank you once again and God Bless you all,
Kla
