Hello @dashareich2021, Welcome to Connect. My only side effects from prednisone during my 2 occurrences of PMR were weight gain, some fatigue and a puffy face. There are quite a few others who have shared their side effects in another discussion here:

Did your doctor offer any suggestions to help with the side effects?
