| 4 | Autoimmune Hepatitis | Hairloss, insomnia, extreme fatigue, irritability, mood swings, depression, moonface, irregular menstural cycles, easily being bruised, shrinking waistline due to a change in fat distribution. | Helped a lot, but also messes up your hormone balance, even long after you stop taking it. Note that the side effects comes with time (not immediately) and increases/decreases with the dosage. When the dosage is below 10 mg/per day most side effects should disappear. | F | 18 | 2 years 10 MG 1X day | 10/23/2014 | 1 | Enlarged thyroid | Appetite went INSANE. ALWAYS hungry! | PROS: most of my skin symptoms went away. CONS: Massive weight gain, EXTREMELY HARD to lose! moon face! my stomach is HUUUUGE but the rest of me is somewhat normal And I have no clue if my thyroid is better because he (DR.)didn't check after course of Prednisone | F | 30 | 30 days ? 1X day | 10/21/2014 | 5 | Colitis | This medication has been a godsend for me. After struggling to get out of bed and make it thru a day of work with excruciating pain and a ton of blood loss I am very thankful for what it has done for me. To avoid weight gain while taking prednisone I have always gone on the paleo diet which is very beneficial in reducing inflammation. Dandelion Tea helps to rid the body of the water retention that comes along with taking it as well. The paleo diet helps because you can eat quite a lot while on it and it will not affect the number on the scale. | F | 29 | 4 weeks 40mg - 0 m | 10/11/2014 | 3 | pneumonia | Vision loss(peripheral) happened once and scared the heck out of me, the worst smelling gas I have ever had!!! soreness, joint pain, extreme lower back pain, weight gain, insomnia, hunger, bloating, constipation I gained 15lbs on this medication in the first 6 days....it has been 2 weeks now and still haven't lost the water weight yet. | This drug has given me some serious side effects, very scary. I was in the hospital for 6 days getting prednisone through an IV every 8 hours... when I was sent home I was prescribed 20mg 3x a day then 2x a day then 1x a day but I ended up having to stay on 3x a day for over a week because the side effects got worse when trying to slow down. | F | 24 | 2 weeks 20MG 3X day | 10/1/2014 | 5 | kidney transplant | initially on high doses hunger, weight gain; moon face; fat on belly and chin; skin very dry and thin; insulin resistant (prednisone contributed to this I am told); damage to cartilege in knees (pain) | this stuff has some nasty side effects but has kept me alive for almost 33 years after my kidney transplant. and still going strong! I am now on a very low dosage which minimises side effects. Best thing that ecer happened to me. | F | 54 | 32 years 5 mg 1X day | 9/25/2014 | 2 | Rheumatoid arthritis | This drug made me gain weight, have moon face, made me angry, had muscle spasms, panic attacks, insomnia, my legs would give out on me, I couldn't function, had to miss alot of school. I stopped because another month or so on it I would have gotten diabetes, luckily I got my blood tested regularly, and the doctor informed me I should start to taper off | This drug barely worked, didn't help with swelling at all.

Is it my allergies were much stronger than my dosage? | M | 29 | 4 days 5mg 3/day | 6/27/2014 | 3 | bronchits | Hunger, insomnia, mild mood swings. For 5 days on this drug. After I stopped this drug. For next 3 days I had no appetite, sleepy, and was feeling mild depression. All side effects were gone after 3 days off of this drug. And I was feeling great. | I had bronchitis before a few years ago. And took antibiotics for it. For me antibiotics knocked the bronchits out faster. But long term side effects of antibiotics are not good. Predisone did help me get over bronchits symptoms. And I have no long term side effects. So all in all Predisone does work I just did not like the short term side effects. | M | 33 | 5 days 20 2X day | 6/22/2014 | 4 | allergic reaction | insomnia, heartburn | Had an allergic reaction to an unknown substance (mold or dust most likely), which resulted in huge, itchy welts all over my face and body. Benedryl did absolutely nothing, but prednisone really helped stop the inflammation. Insomnia was the worst side effect: I only slept 3-4 hours/night the entire time I was on this med.
