Experiences Taking Prednisolone?

[Karl28]

I have a bad case of eustachian tube dysfunction where my ears crackle and pop which makes my tinnitus get worse.

I've tried nasal sprays but they didn't work for my doctor suggested me taking prednisolone to help clear up the blockage or any inflammation.

It's a steroid and I've read it can possibly help during the onset of tinnitus but I've had tinnitus for many years now.

Does anyone have any experiences taking it?
Bad for tinnitus, helps, worse? etc...

Im wondering the same thing. Have steroids ever helped a chronic user?
Good Luck Karl.

Hi,

I've taken prednisolone two times this year for my inflammation, it took away the T for a couple days but make sure and follow the schedule and taper off correctly.

maybe worse if u T constantly, helps in some causes if T started (1-5 weeks)

I've used it for inflamation a number of times with no negative T reactions.

I was prescribed 5 day course of 40mg prednisolone back in March for a persistent cough. By day 3 I was getting blood in nasal phlegm and also some internal bleeding (probably intestinal). The internal bleeding only lasted a couple of days but the nasal bleeding lasted much longer (about 6 weeks) though thankfully it now seems to have ceased. My doctor didn't think it was likely that the bleeding was related to prednisolone. Long term usage of presnisolone is known to have potential risk of weakening or damaging blood vessels but my doctor didn't think a 5 day course would be sufficient to produce this effect. My own opinion is that the prednisolone was at least a contriibuting factor. Based on this experience, I would be very hesitant about taking prednisolone or any other steroid in future. I did notice a mild reduction in T while taking prednisolone but this did not outlast the 5 day period of usage.
