Day two of prednisone!

I have been on prednisone for years and years...but not lately...like the past 5 years. I have eczema...and had it since I was a child..so lots of experience with prednisone.
Its a wonder drug for me...when I take it, my skin clears up, and my allergies are gone. I have not experienced the hunger....and I breathe beter.
I'm almost ready for more because my eczema is acting up.

I love helping people here, I learned a lot in 50 years of medical practice. Buy, you really need to discuss all medications prescribed to you, with both your physician and pharmacist.

I have had it several times. I once had it for asthma and was home alone for several days and I was up all night talking to people from other countries.

My brain was going a million miles an hour, I found myself being short tempered, and road-raging. Also, my skin felt greasy all the time. I was pre-diabetic, but prednisone kicked me over the goal post into diabetes.

Had it . I hear its hard on the heart

Is it a "dose pack?"

You are describing the usual side effects.

The "-sones" do that. So, long-term, most people get huge, with corresponding side-effects (mobility, joint issues, etc.).

No, but it seems everyone around me is taking it. My dad, my cat... everyone

Never heard of it.. i bought sone avocados the other day tho as they were larger than normal ☺

It’s helpful for short term maladies, not to be ever used permanently IMHO.

Yep, like a starved superman😁
