@betsyhase Prednisine really makes me hungry and it is a struggle for me to refrain from eating constantly. I have a love hate relationship with prednisone.

Yes Prednisone is a magical drug that works quick but terrible side effects if used too long.
Balancing it is key.

It slowed down my metabolism and made it very difficult to know what and how much to eat. When I ate, I would think about the portion size before I was sick, and then I would cut back a little on that. It was great to see my regular metabolism return about a month after I finished prednisone.
