I started the 10 day pred. burst, as my Doc called it actually with yesterday being my last day! What results, the first 2 days I had only 2 small shadows. I'm chronic usually suffering 8-10 attacks daily, so 2 small shadows was cake!! And then yesterday was my last 10 mg. tablet and yesterday afternoon I had 2 normal attacks! :( What a bummer......I did basically have 10 good days, I havent felt that good for that long in years! My question...anyone with pred. experience, I know the side effects, but if they help do you think that outweighs the risks? In just the 10 days I took it, the water retention was horrendous, I gained 9lbs.my feet and ankels were swollen all the time!! Some input would be good here.
Thanks!!
Be Well~
