Unfortunately the pain in my shoulders has increased
I know we are not meant to split doseage, but ..... its winter here in Aus and I'm overdue to give anything a go!
Anybody have any other suggestions or tried this with results?
Hugs , Hope to all, Lyn
Lyn;
I've been on pred also for 4 years (right now 5 mg). I've tried splitting the dosage but no luck and actually felt worse pain all day. Taking the whole dose in the morning works better for me. For a while I was getting by with 2.5 mg daily but have had to increase to 5 lately. I also have GCA, so when my jaw is painful and I get a bad headache, I increase even more until the symptoms subside, then go back to 5 mg. I think I'm stuck at 5 for a while. As for sweating, I take a soy isoflavone supplement (50 mg) daily. I used to take it twice a day but seem to be getting by with once a day right now. It took 2-3 weeks to kick in, but it has relieved much of the sweating I was experiencing. Best wishes. Ima.
