Hi I don't seem to be getting the acne, but I
have been getting really unusual rashes on the back
of my legs, very my eyelids and have become ultra
sensitive to soap products and food such as nuts.
I've taken Prednisolone on and off for 15 months now. and have
finnaly decided that I have to come off them as my breathing is
becoming sporadic and I can feel my heart beating all the time, almost
like the feeling of a hangover. I have to appreciate that the
drug has helped reduced the amount of headaches I've suffered
from, but I'm only just beginning to see the real side effects now.
I took vorapamil for some months a few years ago, but had to stop for
as they were making me so light headed I couldn't function.
I would guess that you probably have a natural sensitivity to acne, and that
the steroids may be affecting this. But I'm no doctor,so don't take what I
have to say as black and white. I just thought I'd share in my experience.
sorry you have to live with clusters too. :-(
