Yes shingles is a virus, however the postules that form itch terribly from the inside out. What happens is the nerve ending become inflamed and that is what the prednisone is used for.

Chew if your asthms sends you to the ER, please try the prednisone again. It's temporary. Otherwise there are inhaled prednisone type meds that don't have the side effects, but the benfits. Please consult your allergist.

OMG Earth, that's horrible! So many things we take seem to somehow kill us or maim us at the least.

We have to use prednisone for Kota once or twice a year when her asthma gets bad and we end up in er with her. I hate it, the side effects can be nasty. Besides the weight gain if used for long periods of time, it makes Kota super jittery (all asthma meds make her shakey, but pred is the worst,) and so wired. It's one med that I'm absolutely insistent as soon as she's able to, she's off of it.

Laura seems to want to go home. She turned down Jordan's offer to use the veto if she wins.

Evening everyone.....I was totally tied up with company and work.......

I've tried to catch up on whats been happening........
Two questions:

The Good people told Ronnie last night that WHO HE NOMINATES will be telling on whether he was the one who betrayed them.

....I see Laura and Jeff have been nominated.......have they called him out on having been the betrayer??

2. HAS ANYONE TOLD MICHELE HOW RONNIE IS LYING ABOUT HER HAVING VOTED TO KEEP CHIMA?????? AND IF SO WHAT DID SHE SAY?

Sry to hear that Earth. The labeling does say to rinse your mouth out because of the increase risk for thrush. Never heard of the mouth cancer possiblity.

Long term or high dosage of steroids are scary..they can affect your body and mind so much. When used appropriately, they can be a great tool for dealing with some diseases. But it's one of those drugs that need to be taken only for the right reason, and only taken in the correct way.

Loppes, I dont' know his excuse for nominating the...I heard earlier he said it was because they were too emotional.

I dont' think anyone has told Michelle...but to put my own opinion in, I don't think Michelle trusts him at all.

Loppes, no one has really talked to Michelle much because she has been mostly hanging around 'them' today. Ronnie is still spinning his web of lies but no one wants to hear him talk game. They are all tired and not ready to fight until tomorrow. Both Laura and jeff are convinced they are the intended target.

I bow to others experiences. We have never been prescibed more that a 10 day burst pack of pred here for acute situations. I can't imagine months of it.

Prednisone saved my son's life, but gave him a weight problem he will likely have the rest of his life.

Ronnie may be telling the truth, but you know the story of the boy who cried wolf...if you lie so much and everyone knows it they aren't going to believe you if you are telling the truth.

Chew, depression can be one of the huge side effects of steroids, in fact it can be a trigger.

Michelle was telling Casey last night that she wanted to get some kind of degree but couldn't pass some exam. She is so playing it off that she has a PHD.

Chew I am so sorry the prenisone is so hard for you. With my previous post I forgot my brother who never seemed to be able to get completely off of it. I wish you the best.

To anyone getting it for the first time, get a wean down dosage.

Mummy is right...never take a Rx for steroids, unless you have asked the provider exactly why and for how long. Ask if there is an alternative. But if you do need to take it, work with your doc to take the smallest dose for the shortest period of time.
