Iâ??m taking 20mg/day (5mg x 4 daily). After a full month I notice little change in my eyes or mouth. Iâ??m not sweating significantly. Iâ??m waking once in the night to pee. However, my blood pressure has gone from â??lowâ? to â??at riskâ?. Iâ??m also having continuous gut-ache and increased difficulty with swallowing and sore throat. Iâ??m in to see the Rheumatologist at the two-month point, but I hardly think this is worth the $212/month (Canadian) that Iâ??m paying for it.
