What are ur side effects?
I had a bone density test and my % of falling and breaking a bone went up 50%.
Dizzy all the time - affected my eyesight. On eyes now for the rest of my life.
However I could function well…right now suffering badly as I took myself off prednisone . Trying to figure it all out.
Damned if you do- damned if you don’t. Sad.

Weight gain badly, dizziness, effected my eyes now on eyedrops for the rest of my life, of course bones, noticed fully out more than usual n fingernails constantly split down the middle.
However. I could an almost normal life.
Trying my options.
I would take the bone density numbers with a grain of salt. Even more so a percentage probability of breaking a bone. My rheumatologist said trying to compare data from two different machines are useless. Numbers on a page.

I hope you tapered slowly, your adrenal glands become dependent on Prednisone for cortisol production. It's dangerous to take yourself off the medicine without supervision.
Please consult your doctor, there is no need to be "suffering badly", as there are alternatives to Prednisone.
Be well.
