My mom is 72 has copd, chronic kidney disease & was put on prednisone in May for some spots on her lungs that keep changing. Since she has been tapering off of the pred. she has been exhausted, swollen feet/legs, no appetite. Now we found out she is also anemic & her bloodwork came back with quite a few of her levels lower than they should be except for her white blood count which is high.... Could this all be stemming from the prednisone? She is down to 1 pill every other day.
**FYI She works 4 days a week cleaning houses & felt fine up until she started the prednisone. **
