GI doctor prescribed prednisone for Chrohns flare. 40 mgs a day. Decreasing weekly until the second week of January of 2015. How can this affect my Parkinson's disease & interactions with Sinamet & Requip? I started the prednisone on October 30,2014. PLEASE ADVISE. My Parkinson's symptoms are becoming more symptomatic!

It does have a tendency to aggravate any pre-existing neuro conditions. Hopefully you're only on it short term and are tapering the dose.
