Okay, a rare Friday post for me, but I think it might be worth it.
Little Man is doing fine. We are on Orapred, yet again. Our Allergist is not happy about having to place Little Man on this steroid again in such a short time frame, but it is definitely what is necessary. We expect Little Man to be bouncing off the walls in 2 days time. Oh goody. If we have anymore crazy shots of him they will most definitely be posted. I do not want people to think I have anything personally against Orapred. To the contrary, actually. I have nothing but the highest regard for this medicine. It has definitely kept my little boy alive. It does its job, I just wish we didn’t need to employ its services too often.
As a public service (lofty sounding, I know) I have perma-linked the Drugs.com page on Orapred as well as the Drug Digest, and BioMarin pages. These were the most comprehensive and still authoritative sites I could find on this medicine. I will also be linking this page and my other Orapred posts for all to view at their leisure. It turns out that about 2 to 3 times a week I get a hit on this site from someone searching for Orapred side effects. I do not want to do them a disservice by solely having this site be a cache of anecdotal information about Orapred’s interaction with my little boy.
Here is the Drugs.com information
Here is the Drug Digest information
Here is the BioMarin information
Here are my previous posts about Orapred
Sleep Perchance to Dream
Hospital, Hospital, Jiggity Jig
Orapred
Disharmonic Convergence
Update on Wheezy McAsthma
Little Man vs. Insane Little Man
To recap:
Orapred is a very effective drug for my little boy
I wish we did not have to use it as much as we do

Sorry to hear your lil guy is on Prednisone. That's a wicked wicked drug isn't it? Very helpful...but wicked.
I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
KimmyK:
It is a nasty evil wonderous drug
Jaimie:
He is allergic to eggs, dairy, tree nuts, and peanuts. He used to be alergic to soy and potatoes as well, but has grown out of those. Epi-pen Jr. is in all the bags we take around with Little Man.
Sorry to hear that your little man has so many allergies. Actually, he sounds a little like my little man (2 /12yrs). We carry an epipen and rescue inhaler everywhere (eggs, wheat, corn, peanuts/tree nuts, milk, shellfish, fish, soy). He also has asthma, G6PD, and a severe case of eczema. I have also diagnosed him as an insomniac;-( Latched on to your blog as I was looking at Orapred side effects (This is our fifth prescription).

I hope the information was useful. Wow, the big 8? Wow. That takes some creative menuing.
Thank you - it was. Unfortunately we are up now. He has a bit of a cold and the dreaded rattle has begun. Thank God for nebulizers. I pray and read labels. As long as I can find meat, fresh fruit and veggies we won't starve:-) How has this winter been for your son?
Kathie:
So far this one has not been bad. His worst was when he was 1 1/2, although 2 1/2 wasn't great either. Last year's was better and this year has been the best by far.
