Also the hospital gave me prednisone which as a bariatric patient you cannot have!
Prednisone is an EXTREMELY dangerous drug which should only be used with organ transplants to prevent rejection. I have it listed on my MedicAlert bracelet. I was mistakenly (stupidly) given it when a bunch of idiot doctors didn't recognize exophthalmos from graves Disease and thought I had a tumor growing behind my eyes. I had to wean off it to avoid adrenal failure. Took 11 months and I gained 60 pounds, in addition to a dozen other medical disasters.
Oy. Don't get me started.
No one should take Prednisone, not just bariatric patients, unless there's a grave possibility of loss of life. I say this often here: read the label. But it's more important to study EVERY drug a doctor wants you to take.
Reminds me of a great joke. What's the difference between God and a doctor?
God doesn't think he's a doctor.
I have a serious hatred of Prednisone, but it's well-founded.
If you'd take any drug your doctor gives you, would you also take any drug a dealer would sell you? At least with the drug dealer, he probably has actual experience with the drug.
Please, remember, if someone is trying to get you to take a drug, it's important to know what level of experience he has with that drug. People die from wrong prescriptions all the time.
