I feel your pain I have had this condition now for 14 months and can’t find any relief. They put me on prednisone for 4 months which alleviated my symptoms and I thought it was gone despite the medical problems the prednisone caused but within a week or two of finally coming off the taper all the symptoms came back. Please help.

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @sdrussett1. I moved your post here so you could chat with others talking talking about mesenteric panniculitis, such as @peterose @tahbsoweight @tprinter and others. Hoping they can provide some support and ideas for you.
How discouraging to go through a course of prednisone and think your symptoms are alleviated, only to have them return.
I have also been on courses of prednisone for 5-day periods for asthma flare. It does take care of my flares, but of course, for a totally different condition. I only sleep about 4 hours per night while on it, however, and my husband thinks it erases my filter for my words, which I'm sure is correct.
What kind of medical problems did you encounter from the prednisone? What is your doctor suggesting you do next, sdrussett1?
