Hi there,
I live with a man who was diagnosed with ocular myasthenia gravis 8 years ago. He is on continuous prednisone which is increased to 90mgs per day during relapses which is then slowly tapered.

I am also a medical professional and concerned that the medical professionals arenot explaining to patients and relatives the side effects of prednisone.

I would love to hear from other's experiences but am struggling at the moment with my partners moods, irritability, walking on egg shells and afraid of an outburst. He too says awful things and blames me.

Knowing it is the steroids makes life easier but he won't acknowledge this so I can't force him to see his consultant.

Can anybody offer any advice please or share their experience so that I know its not me going mad.

Many thanks
