Now that it's Tuesday officially it means I'll be seeing the family doc tomorrow, where I'll literally beg and plead for Pred if necessary...
I hate having to rely on it, but since I still don't have a diagnosis it's really impossible to be given anything else. i used to get relief off of the Cipro+Metrodonozole (sp?) combo but given the severity of my flares now I need the Pred.
Do you think it is possible to get almost immediate relief off Pred if I DIDN'T have an IBD? the last 3 severe flares I've had all the symptoms vanish within just a few days, at 25mg/day (than reducing by 5mg every 7 days).
This is the worst flare in my life. I've been keeping a detailed list again, going week by week and added to that week as things come along; this week I'm running at 13 symptoms of some sort (basically all yesterday), last week was at 14 symptoms (possibly 15, if the ER doctor was right). I'm losing my mind.
Here's another question: if I don't have an IBD, would I get relief from Pred but minimal and short-lived relief on Morphine?
