Bowel spasms?

bowel spasms?

well after all my gloating last week about my improvements Ive come down with a bang

Had a really difficult couple of days....my 'urgent' morning trips to the toilet have come back, have to go 3/4 times before I set off for work. I had to phone in sick today after waking up at 5am with horrid stomach cramps and 'huge feelings of urgency'.

I've recently reduced pred again (down to 10mg) and wondering if this is maybe my body readjusting?

Im going to see the GP tommorow, not really sure why to be honest - I think I just want her to wave a magic wand or tell me everything will get better.

any advice?

Pred really does mask a lot of symptoms, gives you a false sense of security.
This happened to me when I reduced so I just banged it right back up to 30mg and started again; it obviously hadn't finished working it's magic!
Took nearly a year but I got there in the end!
Talk to the doc, maybe she'll wave her magic wand!

Joan is right as usual. Pred masks our symptoms, and when we taper we seem to hit alot of snags! Definetely ring the Dr. You may not have to go back up to 30mg but up to 15mg again. Just see what the Dr has to say.

Here's hoping you feel better quickly!

secretly I think I knew that was going to be the response but I hoped it wouldnt be.....like everyone I hate pred and will avoid an increase at all costs weight gain, spotty like a teenager, rashes and 'taches! (<--- I did a rhyme!) pfffft!!!! but if its what I need Ill deal with it
