copd exacerbation

Praise God, I am on the first day of my prednisone taper. I took 40 mg for five days for a COPD exacerbation; now I am down to 20 mg for five days. Then I am off. Please pray that at this lowered dose, I suffer no side-effects. The last five days at 40 mg of this drug have been brutal, with...

As you may recall, I am taking prednisone for what has proven to be both a terrible COPD exacerbation, as well as a very bad experience with the prednisone itself -- anxiety, irritability, the shakes and insomnia. Praise the Lord, I did finally get a wonderful sleep last night. I woke up feeling...

I just can't stand this. Day three on prednisone for COPD exacerbation. I can't sleep. I have to be somewhere tomorrow. I have a dentist appointment the following day. I shouldn't even be going out in this cold. I'm afraid I will never get better. I'm so far behind in housework. I tried today. I...

Starting to recover from my COPD exacerbation. Very happy about my new gym quality exercise bike. I was able to do twenty minutes and will attempt another twenty later on. Unfortunately, the prednisone is keeping me awake. Please pray in Jesus's name that I make a full recovery from this COPD...

Well, the prednisone is really helping me with this COPD exacerbation. I took my first dose last night. Just took my second, plus I took my antibiotic. Because I have GERD and need omeprazole [acid blocker], I had to set my alarm for seven a.m. to take the azythromycin, then wait two hours to...

I had asked for prayer about two hours ago, that I would get my medication prescribed to me today for a COPD exacerbation. Well, I did get the most important two, namely, my prednisone and z-pack. I took my first prednisone dose already. The pharmacy is claiming they did not receive the rx for...

Just got done with pulmonologist. Having a COPD exacerbation. It's a little scary. Anyway, the pulmonologist's assistant told me she was going to call in a z-pack, a course of prednisone and my rescue inhaler. Just now I got a message from my pharmacy telling me they have the z-pack rx. They did...

My dad is in the hospital due to COPD exacerbation. He is stable but his doctors are told me that he has blood clots in his lungs and chest, and the right side of his heart is starting to fail. My prayer is that the Lord dissolves the clots in his legs and chest, removes the fluid buildup in his...

I have an urgent prayer request for my ###. He has COPD exacerbation and has been using more oxygen than usual lately. We both are fully vaccinated from COVID and I believe that he is suffering from side effects from the vaccine. My prayer request is that the Lord gives strength to his body to...
