Prednisolone and Strength Training

Hello,

Ok, last week I was diving with friends in Spain. I got a sinus blocked when going up, unable to compensate, etc… the result was a really painful acute sinusitis.

Back at home, doctor prescribed me 80 mg prednisolone (cortisone) daily. Pain lasted something like 2 days.

Now I got a slight pain.

I am afraid of melting my muscle mass with this shit, as well as getting pimples, lose strength, etc…

They say I should eat less carbs as it increases blood sugar, less salt, decrease immunity system, etc… What the hell is that shit and how is this supposed to heal, as my nose is not blocked ?

Anyone took this ? (solupred)

Would you take it ?

I have asthma and have had a few hairy episodes. Usually when catching a bad cold or flu.

Been prescribed this a couple of times. Never really noticed any effects so to speak. I imagine you’ll be fine.

I had to take prednisolone for a few days/a week back when I was in high school. When I was on it, I couldn’t train whatsoever. I was drenched in sweat, laying on the ground, and gasping for air after we did our dynamic warmup. I have no idea why, but it just knocked me on my ass.

its a medical steroid. its used to decrease inflammation. training shouldn’t be a problem and you shouldn’t lose mus or strength.

prednisolone or prednisone?

Prednisone, sorry.

Well it went quite fine. Got some blood in the nose however at the end of squat sessions.
