I stopped the prednisone yesterday– Monday night was my last dose.
So why am I having heart palpatations today? Is it just PMS, or should I be worried?
Also, note to my left eye: STOP IT! The constant irritation isn’t helping anything or anyone. I got a new contact yesterday. Stop being a bitch. Let me see.

i get that ever time. probably it’s just the body readjusting.
Well, it is a steroid, so the “withdrawal” is probably what’s causing that. If it keeps up for more than a few days, ask your doctor.
While on prednisone, your adrenal glands slow down or stop production of a hormone. This is also why one usually tapers doses to get off of prednisone. To allow your body to readjust to producing the normal amount of that hormone. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s probably your body just readjusting. If the palpatations continue or actually bother you, then talk with your doctor about it.
I meant to write a comment about your previous prednisone entry. Sorry about that. I’ll try to go back later to see if there’s anything I can add there.
You are SO lucky to be off the prednisone. I’ve got 11 days left. Ugh.
