Prednisolone

Morning

I started on 20ml of prednisolone yesterday reducing to 5 in four weeks, due to pain and stiffness in my knees and hands.

I was wondering, and I know we're all different, how long it takes to "kick in" please

    I found it was very quick and effective- the problem is when you stop at the end of the course. To maintain the relief I think you will need other medication.

    I found it was maybe a day or so. For me it brought the swelling down really well. Hope it helps!

    It’s magic stuff, and should help you within a week. Unfortunately you can’t stay on it long term.
