I have at last after 6 months of suffering on no medication as 6 months pregnant been given some Prednisolone 10mg by my thryroid Consultant!!
I saw him yesterday at 2pm, got the medication at 4pm took it at 6pm and by 8pm the same night I could actually bend two knuckles on my fingers that have been badly swollen for a months or so. Im so shocked at the speed of this medication - i never thought it possible for something to work this quick.
Today i have been feet pain free, all fingers half way there to complete pain free and honestly I have been out all day with my Husband and children to the Fairground, beach then home and cooked tea and am so happy to not be in the pain I have been in for past 6 months!!
My GP wants me to stay on 10 mg until Monday then drop it to 5mg and see how I am on that.
I am dispointed i can't remain on it for duration of pregnancy - Dr says too dangerous third trimester for baby.
Anyone else had quick relief from this too?? And i hope that i have given hope to others by writing this.
