Hi all!
I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to this. I have been put on 40mg of Prednisolone by a new consultant. I have been on it previously for about 10 years on and off. I was diagnosed as having steriod-induced Addisons disease and I am a permanant dose of hydrocortisone.
I have noticed NO DIFFERENCE in my Crohns disease since being on the 40mg affter two weeks. I don't even feel extra hungry (I dont think anyway)
The only thing that I have noticed is that my legs started to take on water in quite an alarming way (I put on 4 kg in water in a week in just my legs). This can happen when the protein in your body isnt high enough and somehow Prednisolone can set it off.
I have made an executive decision to take myself off the 40mg and since then my legs have gone down and I haven't had any steriod withdrawl symptoms like headaches etc. I know you shouldn't cut them off like this but I don't think my body is absorbing it as I can't feel it. Can that happen??
