I have Fibromyalgia, asthma, and the start of some type of arthritis in my hands and feet. I take 1 300 mg gabapentin 4x a day. 1 meloxicam 15 mg per day Vit D, singulair and symbicort. The first dose of 6 prednisone I took after breakfast early in the morning. Late in the afternoon, I experienced some muscle fatigue and weakness, but it passed. Yesterday I took 5 prednisone after breakfast, and around 4 my entire body went into a "slump" My legs were very sore and cramping, the muscles in my pelvic are were "stiff" and my arms felt as though someone had punched me in the arms hard! I called the nurse line for my hospital because it was after hours, around 7. They advised me to come to the ER. All bloodwork came back good. The Dr advised me to stop the prednisone, then, said to take 2 today 1 the next day if possible. I am confused!!! Because I feel like crap! Which should I do? Not take the prednisone, or take 2 today then 1 tomorrow?
