@marylou329 Hi - I just wanted to add that I hope you do have a good experience on prednisone like Lori is describing, but for some people prednisone can cause severe mood issues and make it difficult to do anything because your mind is racing so fast. I’m not saying this to scare you but just to let any new prednisone user know that if you suddenly feel unpleasantly different from your usual self or find your self upset or angry consider it might be the prednisone and talk to your doctor. It can be a real issue for some people - lol yes I am someone who doesn’t do well on prednisone but I’ve been on it many, many times over the years and it’s saved my life so I respect it’s a very helpful medicine, I wish you all the best and hope you only feel the benefits of prednisone.
