Hi. I'm new to the group. Diagnosed in early January after three months of We aren't sure from my PCP and two specialists and a bunch of tests. I too was two weeks past vaccines although I'd had them all along with no problems.
Because I'm super-sensitive to prednisone, I've been titrating up from 1 mg (now at 8) to find the sweet spot of no symptoms and my symptoms are less and less. But I've gained 12 pounds since starting the drug, am miserably jittery all the time, and beginning to experience the fatigue and depression. What a shit show!

Yes, I’m having side effects too. Better now that I’m tapering and presently just started 6 mg. At a higher dose I was bouncing off the walls and lots of heart palpitations, depression etc et . I’ve gained 4-5 pounds but I’m trying gluten free when possible and lots of salads with protein. Helps.
