prednisone wushy head
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, My primary just upped my pred dose from the initial 5mg to 7.5mg, and my head once again feels strange-I feel a little wushy or maybe a little high- it is hard to describe-different anyway . Is this a special time to take it easy? Does this go away with time and you awake feeling normal? My initial response is to lie down.
Prednisone is turning me into a morning person. I was never ever a morning person, but now I can't sleep. So I get up for awhile, lie down for awhile (especially when the wushy head strikes), and repeat.

But yes, those are typical feelings with pred until you get used to it. And you are going about things quite well - if you can't sleep, learn to rest when you can.

I began initially on 5mg which doesn't seem to be recommended anywhere, but my initial diagnoser was by my cardiologist, not his speciaty. Since then I have thought it was a rather good idea to start low- one can always go up, but from what I read, it is really hard to cut down. And 5 mg did help somewhat. Oddly, it helped most with my knees- shoulders still hurt, but not as much. That was why I said I felt like the tinwoman of Oz after being partially oiled.
