Medication & Treatment Side Effects
Have you ever stopped a medication or treatment because of side effects? If so, did you switch to a different medication or treatment? How did you approach the conversation with your healthcare provider?
When I was taking high-dose prednisolone (80mg qd), I experienced moon face, weight gain, and insomnia. These resolved as the dose was gradually reduced. I now take 5 mg daily and feel well without noticeable side effects.
About a month after a Thymectomy I had to half my frequency of 60mg Mestinon from 4 x a day to twice a day due to severe muscle cramps in my thighs, calves and foot muscles. Way better now on this dose.
I use mestinon and it seems to cause muscle cramps and pulsating muscles however it seems to have subside it took a couple of weeks for my body to adapt to the medication is my guess
Walking is difficult and so is breathing when I get tired. My life has really changed. Not working and so many daily activities are difficult to do
