Sarcoidosis

Posted , 4 users are following.

I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis 2 months ago whilst in hospital for 3 weeks. I had IV Prednisolone x 3000mg over 3 days. Left me totally shattered. I'm now on 40mg daily & I think I have developed psychosis as I'm getting terrible mood swings. I have almost all side effects associated with this. Don't know what to do

    Sarcoidoses Hallo   Rob 

    If I might say so  then you go back to your dr  and tell him or hor her whats going on 

    I had the same mood swings as yours I think  and  amm sooo tired sometimes 

    and I blame it all on Prednison

    Tell your doctor.

    I doubt it is full blown psychosis, although that is possible and it does happen, but if it is any comfort mood swings with high dose pred are common. Often splitting the dose over the day can help, but that isn't always suitable depending on the illness and I don't know much about sarcoidosis. So, tell your doctor.
