Prednisolone

[AmandaL]

Anyone ever used Prednisolone (steroids) for their Psoriasis? I'm going back on a 6 week course for today for my IBD, but I'm sure I've had clearance with it before. The problem is every time I've been on steroids, I've also been on another meds, so unsure whether it was just coincidence or a mixture of the two.

I also apologise now for any steroid rage/emotions

Hi Amanda, I have no experience of Prednisilone but Turnedlight has posted a couple of things that may be of interest,

And RE: Fumaderm after Ciclosporin

Hope that helps
The only other thing I remember from when my wife was on it long term for her kidneys it does tend to give you a moon face, but you should lose that when you stop

Thanks Jim. You're right with the moon face. It's not got the most pleasant of side effects. I was on it for a good 5 months a few years ago when my Crohns wouldnt get better, and my face was huge (in fact, I'll even go as far as saying this was a last resort for treatment for the Crohns at the moment)

Sorry I can't help. But don't worry about the "steroid rage/emotions" Jim likes this one

Oh and this one

Sorry

Prednisolone is great when you are desperate, I couldn't believe the speed with which my skin got better, shame it has the side effects.. I wasn't on any other drugs at the time.
