"I’m 84 years old and feel like 54 because of the medication!"
-------------------------
This is better than the alternative ... I suppose. I was 52 when I was diagnosed and I felt like I was 152 and rigor mortis was setting in.

On high dose prednisone I once made a comment to my ophthalmologist when I was on the verge of going blind. I said, "I feel great, and I didn't really care if I ended up blind."

Another side effect of Prednisone is euphoria --- a false sense of feeling well.

My ophthalmologist thought I was feeling "too good." Fortunately the 100 mg prednisone dose I was on was beginning to work. My ophthalmologist told me to quickly taper down to a lower dose.
