Is this normal? I do not have much experience with prednisone and I am starting to get PISSED. I started it last Tuesday (2 doses twice a day for three days and then 1 dose per day for 2 days) and as I started to taper off, my cough started coming back. I am not coughing during the day, but I was up until 3:30 this morning hacking. I used Albuterol, water, tea, cough meds (had NO other choice) and I think I was finally so exhausted I just fell asleep. I feel as if my breathing is very good though...no more tightness, I can usually take deep breaths...I just do not know.
I am also on Zyvox and Casyton at the moment, so I really should not be getting a lung infection. By my calculations, these antibiotics should at least be helping to prevent the stuff from moving to my lungs.
Please help! I was supposed to be feeling better after the sinus surgery, not worse...and I do NOT HAVE TIME to go on IV's.
Is there something else I can suggest (maybe I am getting resistant to the Zyvox??)? I have PA, MRSA and when in the hospital cultured a bit of aspergillus...suggestions please?? Looks like I will be on the phone with Dr. again tomorrow.
