Subject: Nasal Congestion/Prednisolone Withdrawal?

Hello everyone, new here and weaning off prednisolone. Started a course of prednisolone of 25mg/day for 3 weeks, then Dr asked me to reduce by 5mg every week, by the time I reached 15mg, I relapsed and prednisolone was upped again to 20mg for another 3 weeks and ever since have been weaning off and has been horrible to say the least -- will not go into all the symptoms as I have read that most of you have experienced already.

I am a bit puzzled as to why now that I am on 4mg still my face gets rosy & slighly puffy for a few days. (I started taking prednisolone July 2006).

OK - here is my issue now -- when I first went down to 4mg, I experienced what I thought it was a cold/flu as I was sneezing constantly but felt OK, but after a few days, noticed that I would get these "attacks" at a certain time of the day (5-6pm).

I am better now but still have very dry nasal passages that when I blow my nose I end up with a bit of dry mucous and tiny bit of dry blood aswell, almost seems like I have sores inside my nose.

My respiratory specialist prescribed me a nasal spray which contains some steroids and am not comfortable using this, therefore have not use it, my lungs are now clear aswell. Any idea/suggestions what might be and what can I do? Do yu think that it's the prednisolone?

Thank you so much, and be blessed!

Kla
