PMR Prednisone, effectiveness of dose
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have read Eileen's explanation of how the prednisone dose works and why taking the dose early in the morning makes it more effective for most people. I have always taken my dose at 8 a.m. And all goes well until bedtime and I have a miserable time trying to go to sleep. But then, when I awake in the morning I am not stiff, do not have pain...?? What is that about? Any suggestions? Thank you!

The only suggestion I can make is you are at a point where your natural cortisone is producing? What dose are you at with the preds? I have found now I'm at 2 mg some days I feel fine other not but I sticking to the 'plan' until every day is OK.

I have experienced that when I haven't had the appropriate tablets available, but that's not when the problems begin for me, it's the next day and even the day after.

Well, I decided to "stick with the plan" as OregonJohn had suggested....I took the 2-1/2m at dinner time. Always hoping for some kind of "breakthrough"....some sign that I am recovering and don't need the prednisone as much?? Back to my DSNS+...wade thru the process.
Thank you for responding.
