Sorry i can’t take my mask off for this video. i’m currently in the emergency room with my little baby and boy was that waiting room completely full. holy cow! it’s insane sorry that you can’t see my lips moving but covet is high in my area right now and they told me i’m not allowed to take off my mask in this room. so,
I while i’m sitting here waiting for results for my little baby. and she wanted to tell me about her situation and how it has completely ruined her life she said taking prednisone has completely ruined my life. only 28 and she wanted to know am i ever going to recover and so i wanted to make this video for
Those of you who are struggling on prednisone. yes, there is hope you will recover there’s 150 side effects but most of them aren’t permanent them you can recover from it takes time but it should happen she was worried because she was having mania and bipolar and racing thoughts mind and now i don’t have a quiet
Mind. that’s you this is normal for prednisone makes you feel like a totally different person. she said she had family members and friends because of her behavior while in prednisone often i hear of that but prednisone is changing moods prednisone can change how you act struggling with your behavior
While on prednisone tell them to watch this video. say “hey, i know that i’m not acting like myself and i want you to know that it’s not me it’s the drug because that’s 100 true. i’m a doctor of pharmacy. i have board certification i’ve been studying prednisone for years now and it is not you it’s the drug and so
I want you to know that you’re not alone. you’re not the only one feeling like this that prednisone saved mine and it’s saving this girl’s life but it’s coming at such a huge cost. i’m just glad to hear her doctor is taping her tapering her off so that she doesn’t have to be on it anymore. um this what else anybody
Other questions so i just really want to reiterate that if you’re taking prednisone it’s not you it’s the drug. and over your life you are not alone. it affects so much and it’s not just your health it’s your personality and it’s your relationships and so if you need help please reach out for it tell your
Doctor what you’re suffering tell your doctor all of your side effects. so they can get you the help you need i have videos specifically men for family members. if you get those um family members who don’t understand to search what i wish my family knew about prednisone and you’ll come up with my video and you can show
It to them to these effects are gone so basically how long does it take is the golden million dollar question and if i knew the answer. i would be a millionaire every single person is different it has to do with what you’re taking it for what your um baseline health was before you started taking prednisone
Your genetics because prednisone actually goes in and changes the way your body reads your dna how long you took it so all of those factors how long each person is going to be suffering but generally the higher the dose the longer term the longer it takes to recover but there are some people. i’ve talked to who have
Taken just one dose and it has made them have severe anxiety what other questions. laura mark marla i’d love to hear what other questions you have so i’m just sitting here in the emergency room i’m not seeing any other questions but i hope you saw my other live this morning that i did about that the pfizer vaccine
Has been fda approved and i think the name of it is really funny chewing on a golf ball community is how you say it i think the name is hilarious and mark i’m so glad to hear you’re down five milligrams that is awesome that means that there is hope on the horizon for you you are getting there keep going
Okay so if you are on princeton i am suggesting you should go and get your third dose if you got an mrna vaccine if you didn’t get mrna and you got johnson johnson don’t worry about it right now can’t get another dose yet so just if i were you i’d go to the pharmacy right now and get your next dose as long as it’s been
28 days since your last one before there’s a rush for that third booster there’s gonna be called a booster but yours will be called an additional dose because you’re on prednisone and you’re immunocompromised so that’s what i would do if i were taking prednisone and worried about being immunocompromised okay so
Lara says thanks for this information i don’t have those side effects oh lara you are so lucky i’m so glad you don’t have those side effects that’s another terrible consequence of prednisone but not everybody gets it right and it’s worse at higher doses so i’m glad you don’t get it all right well i’m not seeing any other
Questions i’m dr megan your prednisone pharmacist prednisone but thrive while on prednisone.
