Hi at the moment I am 'no how' due to the death of my sister on Friday, I've just come to take my tablets this morning and can't remeber taking yesterday's .  I always put my medication for the day into a pot and take various ones through the day, I can't remember taking any at all.   The most important ones are my 6 mg of pred.    Should I take extra today and if so by how much?   Appreciate any help as I just can't think straight and need guidance, obviously no doctors to ask today either.

thank you

    So sorry to hear about your sister's death. 

    I too have forgotten to take the prednisone, and was awfully scared when I realized what I had done. However, the advice I got was no, not to take anything extra, and to try and stop worrying. Just to wait for the next day's dose.

    I followed the advice and took nothing until the next day at the appropriate time. Nothing bad happened, and I was immensely relieved. I imagine you will be, too? 

    Let us know how things go, and lots of luck--Barbara
