Is Pred Failing me

This morning I wrote that after 3 days on Pred (20mg) my cramps were better but not my D.  Several of you were kind enough to tell me I was responding as I should. 

 Well, the rest of today has been downhill.  Cramps have been stronger, have had stomach noises, D, and no appetite.

Does this mean Pred is not working for me or is it just a bump in the road.  I'm sorry to be such a pest, but I don't know anyone else to ask. 

 I called the GI (I never get to talk to him on the phone- only to his assistant), and his assistant said if I am not significantly better by the end of the week to move up my appointment.

Yup. Its likely you would feel a bit better, as you did, but if the dose isn't high enough you would stabilize at just a bit better, but it does take time. So give it the week and you might have to go up a bit. I think several people said that 20mg (that's what you are on right?) is a relatively low dose for a quick burst. 20mg usually works for me, but it is a low dose, so you might need a bit higher. You know what they say: Patience is a virtue.

Thanks for the quick responses. I will try to be patient . I was so hopeful I was on my way to remission. Maybe by the end of the week I will be.
