Subject: 2mg - Help Please!!!

Hi Everyone!

As you may know, I have really struggled weaning down and still am. Currently on day 10 on 2mg of prednisolone (just taken 2mg - day 11).

With this reduction I have experienced moderate to high levels of anxiety, I even had an anxiety attack a few days ago. I know that there were also external contributing factors, I continue being anxious and a bit emotional aswell.

I don't have much energeny to do anything or perhaps lack of motivation?

Once again my stye wants to flare up, I know Ivy said that she didn't think it was prednisolone related but weird how with each reduction (since I went down to 4mg) I have been having this problem.

Just before when I woke up - I found that it now appears that another stye wants to come up, same eye but this one on lower lid, now displaying a swollen eye and also my face looks a bit swollen and blotchy? I am scared, what is going on??? Is it something I should worry about? I have an appoitment with my lung specialist next Tuesday but I already know he won't be of much help at all if any, I am pretty sure he'll be more surprised than anything else that I will still be on 2mg as there is NOWAY I will attept going down to 1mg the way I look and feel.

I must add, that I also had the "moon face" but this is NOT the "moon" face I am displaying, just looks puffy and now a bit blotchy - probably will settle down as the day progresses but my eye aswell!!!

Now I am really dreading when the time comes to reduce to 1mg - if my Dr and those around could only understand :(

God bless everyone and may He give us all the strength we need.

Hugs & love,
Kla
