When you're very sick with neurological problems the doctor will give you a bottle full of Prednisone and yet they don't tell you any of this stuff they just send you on your way it's a terrible shame what they do
My doctor did the same. Doctors on UA-cam are more upfront with the information you should have. The problem is you have to search for the information.
@@TasteMyRainb0w Yeah, you have to type in "Prednisone" into UA-cam. That's a real problem.
@@TasteMyRainb0w It’s so sad when we get absolutely no advice or help from your Dr with such potent steroids! I haven’t even been told what COPD is or given any advice whatsoever from my darned Dr!
I had 1 Spyrectomy in February 2020 and told to go back in 3 months. Covid struck, my Dr bolted so I’ve still not had a follow up LFT since! Talk about feeling let down - yet depressed due to COPD!!
Thank goodness for the Drs here on UA-cam
When you’re sick and especially with an autoimmune disorder the doctors don’t know how to treat it that’s why we are given a miracle “ quick fix” ! Whether it’s good or bad for you we sometimes have to live in the moment!! Don’t blame the doctors most of them are only trying to help with your pain! Everything is autoimmune and there is no cure! For now I’ll take a bandaid and pray for a miracle! 🙏❤️
I was lucky, my Doc said there are many side effects to Prednisone. Of course, he didn't go into detail, so I did my own research.
Thank you Dr. Megan.
Very many grateful thanks for a very informative video!
Glad it helps!
No sugar, salt, or stress.. impossible..
no sugar is not impossible. Reducing salt and stress is still helpful.
Reduce them... You don't have to take them to absolute zero.
It actually is@@marvanbee
This drug kills i know i took with my adderall prescription and died had a heart transplant
😂😂😂
Thank you Doctor!❤
Thankfully, I only have to take this for 5 days, but I do find it alarming that none of this is addressed by doctor or pharmacist. They just say to take in the morning and eat food while taking. But all the rest will be tricky for me. Caffeine and other things like exposure to sick people.And it is hard to hold off on sugar lol
I got my first one today and I'm here because my doctor didn't mention side affects and she should of since I'm always the 1% who gets side affects 😂😂
Yea I just finished 5 days. I was glad I was a little hyper, I exercised and got a lot done. Look on the bright side.
Thank God for UTube Doctors don't have time
5 days for me as well. In the morning with breakfast was the directions. I didn't get a wink of sleep the first night. Hope it gets better.
@@Astronurd yes it got better for me! I forced myself to do more to tire myself out 😂😂 I was still restless as heck that first night
Thanks for your information,many things nobody,no doc ,no you tube....told you.😊
Thank you! This is extremely helpful. God bless you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped!
@@PrednisonePharmacist Did I hear you right that you suggest taking Covid vaccines and boosters while on Prednisone?
Great informations DR,thanks ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Been on steroids since my surgery... *not a single mention of any of this from my surgical team!*
I was scoffed at when I told them I felt "off." And this week when I told my team I felt like I was holding onto a live wire they all said, "Yeah, you can feel like superwoman on steroids. Like it was some kind of good side effect!"
I feel misled, lied to and gaslit and not properly warned about possible health issues! *What the holy hell!*
What a great description of how it really feels to be prescribed prednisone! "Gaslit and not properly warned" are just the beginning, right?
@@PrednisonePharmacist I have since taken myself off the med completely, added the vitamins I should have bought the week before my surgery and will now spend the next 6 months hoping I can return to normal levels and not have lasting effects.
I am... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 to say the least. The doctors gave me *no information and the surgery requires good bone health for proper osseointegration of implants!* This effects everything they did not bother to inform me about!
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
😢 they really don't care, if they did, they would research this shit!! You need to take care of your own health!!
gaslit is the theme of modern medicine these days :(( my FP seems to wanna see me in tears before giving me a referral that I asked for. 600,000+ people are without an FP in Canada so people think I'm lucky to have one. I think my dead hamster is more useful.
I'm here for the very same reason nobody told me anything about the side affects
Thank you so much Dr Megan, I have been suffering with mG for the last 2 years, and most of this stuff I have had to figure out myself, there is very little advice on how to take prednisone correctly (apart from take it in the morning) and its side effects , I am currently taping down and on 9mG was on 70mG originally, it made me a mess. Having watched your videos, it now makes sense to take it as early as possible.
Wow, great video ... causes me to think of more issues. Well, most of these I have discussed with my doctor(s) already. He's got me on a short burst of Prednisone until I can get into the Pain Clinic.
72 years old.
Non-drinker.
Non-smoker.
Low to very low processed sugar intake
.
Though, because of my (on the) low blood pressure, doctors some years ago, said get a little more salt in your diet, which I had never added. So I use that pink himalayan salt on dinners.
Also, I'm a lifelong runner. Miles every day, but this latest PMR has really impacted my running workouts, it's labored and ungraceful. Doc' is urging me to DO NOT PUSH IT for now. Advice I"m abiding by presently. A little down as my workouts are not currently going smoothly ... see what the next few weeks bring.
I do enjoy my coffee in the morning however.
Glad you liked it! You remind me so much of my friend with PMR who I interviewed about his experience: ua-cam.com/video/IyjSm_1EFtM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
I love you. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and alleviating suffering.
Thank you so much!
I don’t do Prednisone. I always feel it affects my mental well being. I’m ok with taking hydro-cortisone if I’m deficient.
Super helpful, thank you. I take prednisone 5mg for life. I already have osteopenia, so I’m trying to learn as much as I can.😢
Glad it was helpful! What else are you trying?
Hey DOC you need K2 from mk7 with the D to push the calcium to the bones
Doctor Megan, is it okay that I continue my walks 3x a day? It's about an hour of walking in total. Also, I'm looking for information on what foods help to protect your gut while on prednisone. Prednisone is a nasty drug. I don't know why we haven't come up with something better.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Have taken 55,000 hydrocortisone steroids in 35 years for Addisons still here great fun
Prednisone (long term use) killed my grandmother due to a severe and irreparable GI bleed...
Omg! I'm sorry for your loss. This is terrible. 😔
synthetic says it all, and promoting the jibJAB sad :(
With there being so many horrible and irreversible side-effects to prednisone, I wish doctors would quit being so quick to prescribe it.
Ty Megan 👍❤
You’re welcome!
Im on prednisone and i developed type 2 diabetes. Thanks for this video, i was drinking a lot of coffee
Hello madam it is good take aswaganda ( Indian ginseng) while using prednisolone thank u
I have been on prednisone long term 5mg/day. My RA doc never told me any of this. Last year I was diagnosed with high blood pressure more than likely caused by the meds. If my doc had told me I should be monitoring BP, maybe I could have done something earlier. Very frustrating. I never knew about sugar or calcium loss issues. I have slowly come off the med completely, using only as needed. I can feel the difference but so far nothing I can't live with. I am researching alternatives to Big Pharma for my RA starting with food. An interesting ride!
Look into keto, ketovore or carnivore as anti-inflammatory way of eating 😊
What about methylphenidate and Vyvanse? Do they elevate blood glucose. Can they affect the A1c test?
I don't think they do. You should check with your doctor.
I have lost so much faith and managed healthcare in this country. Seeing how it has changed since I was a child is alarming and frightening. Two weeks ago I went in to see my doctor because I was having some major back pain that no chiropractic adjustments seem to be resolving Now keep in mind every two years. I have to get an ultrasound on my left kidney because of cyst and I just happened to have one earlier that week so I was wondering if maybe the cyst had gotten considerably larger and was causing the pain or even perhaps a kidney stone, though I’ve never had any in my life but I am scheduled to see my urologist this week. I of course mentioned all of this to my doctor. She stepped away for a moment and when she came back, she had a bottle of prednisone for me to take all she did was explain how to take them and to call her, the pain not abated, needless to say when I got home even though I was in considerable pain, I just could not bring myself to take them. In fact I flushed them on the toilet to keep me from being tempted so I’ve just been alternating ice and heat since then.
I took 1000 g of calcium everyday I had a very hard heart attack and abnormal heart rhythm I even did an ECG test until doctor asked if I'm taking calcium I said yes he immediately told me to stop and today I'm 💯 okay
Wow. Yikes that’s terrifying! Glad you stopped.

I have autoinmune hepatitits, been on prednisone 50 mg for 2 weeks, then 40 …then now.. im in 25mg …changing for azathioprene
I was prescribed prednisone after going into the emergency room for an unknown allergic reaction and pneumonia. . Now finding out that im less likely to over come said pneumonia on this medication and also having another radh/allergic reaction after the second day of taking prednisone. At this point i have no idea if they wanted me to get worse or better.
helo im also take predisolone bcoz of allergy..it of with fatty liver.i ask my doc about this but he give this kind of med.i have wooried about this.
Omg I was wrong really taking prednisone 10 mg for 10days it’s already my second time after a month my ist time I use I don’t have a problem, but this time second time , I took coffee in the morning while I go to work then eat my breakfast with my prednisone 10 mg well with stress at work, and salt and sugar for lunch with in my food, then I end up to Emergency I got Palpitations high blood, potassium low, anxiety, That’s I told the doctor I almost pass out , NOW I know thank you Doctor what to eat and not to eat.
I took it for an eye infection my hair started falling out so my doctor took me off it that was only part of my problem also was stressed out so can't blame it all on the medication
Can cartigosteroid causes low lymphocyte
Yes, corticosteroid can cause low blood cells.
How should one taper off of 40 mg of Prednisone being taken for a month, and once tapered, how long before immune system is stable again, thank you my dear for all your hard work, appreciate having you around 🙏

What is the best medication for prednisone induced osteoporosis?
The most important first step is supplementing with calcium AND vitamin D, vitamin K2, and magnesium. Once you’re supplementing these vital nutrients, then there are many prescription meds that can help. I’d start with Alendronate weekly but definitely talk to your doctor about it.
Resistance training
This is so wild! Basically everything you crave wild taking this medicine should be avoided? 😒🤔 And the side effects of the medicine seems to be worse than the actual reason you were given the medicine. This is very frustrating!! 😔
Do you know I'm so disappointed I go to a very reputable Hospital in Pennsylvania the University of Penn was on thier ER for back pain they gave me 50 mg for 5 days of prednison I asked them over amd over is ok to take if I have high blood pressure.. newly diagnosed with AFib and low potassium..they said no problem and also gave me a shot of Toroidal.. and Im pre diabetes.. Ive only been on for 2 days but Im stopping...its helping the back pain a little but
Wow. All the problems:
1. Giving prednisone for back pain (bad idea since it doesn’t usually work)
2. Giving a drug interacting drug at the same time (Toradol and prednisone increase risk for GI bleeds)
3. Telling you it won’t affect your blood pressure
4. Giving a drug that causes more low potassium (prednisone) to some already low.
Wow!
Dr upped Larsatan to 100 mg daily

Is there any effect on periods after using it for 40 days??
Dr. Megan. I am a long haul COVID patient . I have been on high doses early where I couldn’t even recognize myself . I have been slowly weening off and am currently at 1 1/2 mg. Then down to 1 mg then 1/2 every other day then none in the next three weeks. My boyfriend shoved me off my crutches, I had a broken heal. He broke my whole pelvis and tail bone. It’s been 15 months and my pelvis is not healing. I still can’t walk without my crutches. My doctor just told me I may never walk again. Can you give me any advice please?? I take Calcium with D3 and K2 with Mk7 in it plus zinc. I do drink Coke’s a lot and I do smoke. I know I have to quit. But any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏 🙏💫✨🌴🌺💙
What vitamin d dose are you taking needs to be a decent level take 5000-1000iu a day with 100mcg vitamin k2 m7 specifically
Your absolute worst things you can do to your body is smoking and drinks in a can (coke? Omg). I have experience and I have long covid. You know what to do. Get well enough to shove your boyfriend back. Otherwise you are wasting every healthcare professionals time because you will not get better. P e r i o d
Please tell me you are no longer with your “boyfriend”.
Predisone thins your bones. Pauses your immune system & destroys your mind. Dr.'s are clueless & could care less. They wont get paid if you aint buying pills from them
He’s not a boyfriend- not even a friend. Please think about that relationship. Abuse never stops as I can testify from my own experience in the past.
Doctor do have schedule taper for pericarditis pleasee
Interesting🤔 do you know what it is?
I don’t have one for pericarditis, but I do have a free general taper chart. Here is my Taper Chart: prednisonepharmacist.com/side-effects-solutions/how-to-taper-prednisone/
I feel like a million bucks on prednisone because it allows me to breathe through my nose and sleep. But the 10-day course is clearly not working and causes serious rebound effects. I'm looking forward to talking to my (fairly reluctant and kinda asshole-y) doctor about tapering off differently. I haven't been able to get off it completely in over 2 years. Canada needs far better doctors.
Vitamin D
Why not encourage taking K2 for calcium risks?
I sure do recommend that! Check out my video: ua-cam.com/video/zzsAJIFmNsg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
thanks so much Dr that was very helpful 🤍
I’m on prednisone right now for sudden hearing loss. My daily routine consists of consuming nicotine, alcohol, adderall, caffeine, sugar, salt, and ibuprofen. So basically I’m screwed haha
You pretty much named all the things… 😳
It’s all about finding the right balance of benefits and risks for you. It’s not black and white as if you can’t use those things while on prednisone. It’s more if you want to optimize your health by minimizing the damage prednisone does, then to that’s how you’d do it.
Does Vitamin b12 cause artificially low A1c tests?
Yes, corticosteroid can cause low blood cells.
My doctor prescribed prednisone 20mg for me because of skin rash itch . To take 3 tablet for 7days. But im so scared 😱 now to tablet this pill 💊
It can cause mental psychosis to say the least. Dr.'s need you to take it so when it destroys your body, mind & life, they can prescribe more pills for you. Its all about the $ not your sanity
I’m supposed to take 1 20mg 2 times a day for 3 times a day then 1 20 mg forv3 days
Hi doctor, I am 20 years old. A doctor told me to take a 20mg tablet along with the pain medicine. Can this cause any harm to me?

Let me know thanks
It’s on the list of things to avoid!
What was up with 6 ?
I guess you're referring to sugar. You're can increase the risk of weight gain and diabetes while on prednisone if you have too much sugar on your diet.
Do not take prednisone if you have Lyme/coinfections/other infections since it lowers your immune system. NO gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO may help. Progesterone/Zn/B vitamins help stress. Progesterone helps bones/myelin/thyroid etc.. An older person may already have muscle/bone issues. Osteoprocare with Vit K2 may help bones. Ozone may help infections. Shots may give the health issue they are trying to help. Tums may have Aluminum which may hurt the brain/body. Si may help detox Al. Licorice root may help clots. Avoid drugs with many side effects. Vit D3 5000IU/ sunlight may help depression. Milk thistle/dandelion may help detox things if needed. Vit D recycles Ca, but may not put it in the bones like Vit K2. Cr may help Diabetic coma. Hair test to see good minerals/heavy metals may help.
Caffeine
Don't take prednisone. Trust me. See all that weight on me back in the day? Prednisone. Avoid it if you can.
what about gloucosimine
What about glucosamine? I’m not sure what your question about glucosamine is. Can you please clarify?
@@PrednisonePharmacist can you take glucosimine while on predisone . I started at 70 mg per day . Tommorow drop to 15 mg
