Sorry to hear that. Would he have normally prescribed the prednisone for the UC (had you not had Covid)? Hope you get better soon!Results came back positive for COVID. Diarrhea though may not be COVID related at all and just a flare-up of my ulcerative colitis. With that being said my GI doctor wants me to take prednisone for a month. It seems to help with COVID but mainly in patients with severe illness while hampering perhaps patients with less severe illness. I don't know, I mean the doctor should know best but I'm still a little worried. Wondering if I should ignore him and not take any prednisone.
