With regular tapered dosing prescribed by my dr even when I get down to 10-20mg I'm still jumping out of my skin and have a hard time falling asleep even when taken in the morning. Also my RX is always for the exact amount the Dr wants me to take with strict instructions for tapering and I never have any pills left over. This person needs more help than we can give him, I'm afraid.

Yep, Maddy,
I see you noticed it also.

For those who are reading this thread, 50mg is a very high dose of Prednisone. Long term use of Prednisone can be very dangerous if done without the supervision of a Dr and it requires a slow weanning off to avoid an Adrenal Crisis that can result in death!

As others have indicated.... "I'm done on this thread"

I saw your earlier post. It still shows if you scroll through the posts after you hit the reply button.
Someone spam deleted it. Want to take bets on who?

The OP has been repeatedly asking medical questions of me in PM's (and I suspect many others as well, from the responses here) and each time I have directed her to discuss her concerns with her doctor.

This public forum is not the place to seek medical advice.

If the OP persists, I think it's time to ask for Johnny Goodman to step in.

drugs, unless they are an addict or simply pulling our chain...I'm for the later.

Edited to mention..I replied to this thread earlier today, probably third or fourth response, in it I stated in CAPS to go see a doctor. Somehow my response was deleted, obviously the op didn't like it.
Time to not ever respond to sickwithapnea17's threads...EVER!!!
Cheers
Nan

And yet another thread pops up.

Pugsy wrote: No, no. I knew what you meant. My response was directly entirely at Sleepwithapnea17 and no one else.
The asthma discussion with OP has been discussed before many times (ad nauseam) along with all sorts of other self diagnosis/self treat off the wall crap. He/she either doesn't listen by choice, is yanking our chains for attention or is just plain stupid.

If any of you newbies are maybe thinking I am a being awfully harsh...take the time to read OP numerous other posts. Make up your own mind. There is a reason that most of the veteran forum members have stopped posting responses to this person.

Quite honestly, I think yanking our chains for grins but on the off chance really needing help...this isn't the place for someone who cannot or will not follow the simplest basic suggestions. All are ignored. Either that or someone is really sick and not physically.... No matter which, this forum can't help this type of person.
