Allergies :: Red Eye And Steroids Rebound Effects
Jul 16, 2014
I am affected by red eye for almost two years and used 3 to 4 steroids prescribed by doctors( But then I was not aware of the rebound effects it can cause ) and one of this steroids (Fluorometholone and Tetrahydrozoline HCl) has really caused some damage in my right eye. On 23rd June I had color Fundus Photography on both eyes And luckily the test shown that it is not rebound effect which I am suffering from. And after some trial and error I have found that it is nothing but Cigarette smoke which is causing all those problems. That is I am an eye allergy patient.
now my medicines are Alcaftadine 0.25% and systane.
How much they can help me to get rid of this allergic problem?
"In fact I would like to know if eye allergy is curable?
And I have heard that by injecting the allergen agent into the eyes starting with a low amount and gradually increasing the amount immunity can be achieved. Is it a option for me to Inject tobacco in this way, while tobacco is poisonous. If no, than what are the alternative treatments. Do not advice to give up smoking. I am not being arrogant here I know it shall be impossible for me.

I'm now into about 8th month at around 10 mg, despite instructions and warnings from Rheumy. I'll stay as long as it takes but I'd like to know at what dosage and how long it takes for some of the side effects to leave. I'm speaking about things such as memory problems, tremor, purpura, balance loss, etc. I'm sure I won't see any improvement at 10, but it would be nice to look forward to losing some of the worst when I can get my dose smaller.

I decided after much research that I better get off of Omeprazole. I have been on it close to 2 years. Went off it 10 days ago -was doing well, taking ACV. Woke up about at 2am with severe back and chest pain (not heart) and vomiting. Never had a night like that one. Needless to say took another pill. Still took 2 days to recover. Am going to try again-2 days so far without a pill. If I wake up again with this kind of attack any idea how to relieve the pain?

Does anyone know if Sotalol causes rebound tachycardia when weaning off of it (or if you miss a dose). The last few days my resting rate when I woke was 84. That's not normal for me. My rate is low 60's or High 50's most of the time.I am a 38 year old male (very athletic and in shape) and I work out vigorously 6 days a week. I don't know what could be causing this. I had an Aortic Valve replacement in 1992 and has been stable ever since. I am 6'0" tall 197 lbs 11% body fat. Low cholesterol LDL 61, HDL 52, Triglycerides 82. It seems like my normal day rate is elevated about 12-13 beats. I am very confused by this and a little worried.

Is anyone else taking prednisolone for ITP? I've been on 60mg for a month now and my doctor wants to start reducing my dosage, even though my platelts are still at 87k. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I'm not sure if it's related, I'm on prednisolone - gradually reducing from 40mg per day, now on 30 and reducing by 5mg every week. However in the last few days I get very sore legs when walking relatively short distances - mainly in my shins then spreading up my legs. Feels like cramp. It dies down quite quickly but as soon as I walk any sort of distance the pain comes back - has anyone else had this?

I have asthma usually managed with symbicort inhaler and ventolin reliever. I get intermittent chest infections and consequently I have been taking prednisolone occasionally for 5 years now - 2 or 3 times a year along with antibiotics when I feel I can no longer function at all normally and have to resort to going to the doctor's. I take 30mg a day for 5 days and they work very well. I am concerned reading other experiences of taking prednisolone and the horrendous sounding side effects. I have always known these drugs are not "good" for you but they have provided me with such effective and fast relief that I have continued to resort to them, albeit occasionally. I have no severe side effects - some interrupted sleep, heartburn etc. Can anyone tell me if, at the levels I am taking them, whether I am likely to suffer the side effects other people speak of - e.g. weight gain/redistribution, moon face, osteoporosis etc? Also whether the side effects go away and how long they last once you have stopped taking the pred?

I am getting desperate I got bells palsy during my pregnancy i was not allowed to take the steroids because i was told it might harm the baby so they said just to wait it out and after i give birth it should fix its self well it hasn't. I tried physiotherapy, acupuncture I'm taking complex vitamin b tablets. Nothing is working im starting to feel really depressed at the possibility that i will never be able to smile again or look normal. I didn't take any photos with my son during his birth and he is now 8 months and i don't have many photos with him i don't want to be remembered as a monster.
Everyone always says oh i cant tell, you look fine , don't worry about it but its hard to believe them when they aren't the ones suffering.
I cant afford to spend 120 a week on acupuncture so i'm thinking i have to stop i have been doing it for 2 months.

I am 28 years old male, and am worried over fertility. For the last 10 years I smoked two boxes a day, consumed alcohol, and in some periods I even used the steroids. I finally ended with all those things, and I changed my life style. However, I don’t know if it’s too late now, and are my chances to be a father destroyed forever.

Hi I am a 32 year old third time sufferer of bells palsy. I always seem to get it at this time of year - May/June and am thus starting to wonder if it is related to my intense hay fever. While I have used the standard steroid/acyclovir combo each time I have also found acupuncture to be helpful and I am undergoing treatment twice weekly at the moment as I am in the acute stages of the bells. I also take Methylcobalamin B12 as a supplement to protect nerve tissue. Dont let Bells take over your life! If you can manage the pain and breathe through the experience you will come out stronger the other side.

I know that this is not a serious or worrying problem but it is puzzling... And I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it. It has made me laugh, which is always a good thing and a novelty for a steroid side effect.... I am presuming it is a side effect.
I started on 15mg Prednisone in July 2014, I am now 70 and for these 70 years I have had straight hair.. Very straight hair.... 2 weeks ago, while reducing to 8mg, my hair became wavy / curly... What?... It hasn't changed in texture at all but what's with the curls?
Does anybody know, will my hair stay like this once I come off the steroids?

We are raw, irritated, red, have tears, hurt, sore, itch, and have white patches. We also have fusion and disappearance of some of our parts. Just by looking you can see it all happening except the fusing and disappearing parts. It seems adhering occurs when you don't know..it just appears one day. Is it occurring when we itch or when we are raw and irritated? Do the white patches causes the adhering and covering over our parts? Does the fusing happen at the white patches or can it happen anywhere else on the vulva where we don't have redness, white patches or itching ? Then do we use it all over the vulva when we are free of flare-ups and using steroid once week? When we are free of a flare-up where to we use the cream? Do we use it where we had the irritation ? Do we use it where the scars are and the fusing is even though we are flare free? I read we use the steroid to prevent further scarring and fusion, but I'm still not sure if the fusion is the result of the other symptoms and when we do maintenance with the steroid where do we put it?

I have asthma, we own a cat which we keep downstairs and don't allow it in the bathroom and any bedrooms and for 5+ years I've been having gew build ups in my eyes with some residue on and around the eyes, especially when waking it's a nuisance and at night time my eyes feel very dry and can feel much residue on my eye lashes. I also suffer with a blocked nose especially when waking.
I also suffered with a bad case of eczema this summer, having extreme flare ups on my cheeks (just below my eyes), neck (closer to under the chin), chest and the back of my knees, I also get urticaria especially just below my eyes.
suffering so badly I went for a rast/immunoglobulin test for eggs, milk, wheat and cat and finally received the results. my total ku/l level was over 1,000 and deemed abnormally high. eggs, milk and wheat were all within the 0.01 - 0.1 range with no additional comments. cat was over 100 and deemed very high and higher than the limit
would this be lead to believe cats are the main cause to my allergies and judging by such high readings I would need to avoid cats to get the best clear up of my allergies? we are currently using hypo-allergenic wipes for the cat but too early to see any results
I want dust mites and dogs tested too so I might go for further testing but as of right now it would seem the cat is the number one cause to my high symptoms, would anyone recommend completely avoiding cats with such high results or could there be work arounds? I high feel I will be wanting to move into a cat free home soon which I hope will help a lot
