I just finished a 5 week course of pred after being hospitalized with a small bowel obstruction. I felt great while I was on them ... minus the weight gain, bloating, acne and you get the idea :eek2: My GI screwed up and didn't wean me off them but I'm not sure that caused any problems or not. Anyways, within 2 days of being off the pred I started getting sick again, seriously bad night sweats, unable to hold anything down (solid or semi solid like pudding), major fatigue, diarrhea etc all the usual stuff. I am feeling better today and I'm putting a call into the GI doc but I'm wondering if this is normal? I am not on a maintenance drug yet but my GP told me during a checkup earlier in the week before I was off the pred that there was a note in my chart that they were going to put me on Imuran.
