am being treated for polymyalgia, (second bout in past ten years) and was given steroids about a month ago, and short term memory has become noticeably worse since taking these tablets. Am also on medication for high blood pressure/high cholestorol.
Can prednisone cause short term memory loss, even on dose of 10 - 12 mg?
