A known side effect of Prednisone is to exacerbate and/or induce mood disorders. PMR doesn't help the situation.
That is the greatest thing about forums like this. Feel free to express how you feel here. It doesn't have to be a one-sided expression of feelings. Everyone here is free to share their personal experiences with PMR and various treatments. People are also free to take on as much or as little information as they can handle.
It is clear that people have lots of emotions while on Prednisone. Everyone has unique feelings just as PMR symptoms are unique.
I'm an introvert by nature too. I struggled with expressing my ideas all of my life. On this forum, I think I'm a prolific writer virtually about things I would never publicly discuss in person. Sometimes maybe I'm too prolific. Maybe I should keep things to myself but I feel better after I post about my personal experiences.

Keep on sharing Mike, always a pleasure to hear about your thoughts and experiences.
@dadcue I agree it is good to be able to share with others your experience. Though in saying that, I tend to keep all the really difficult stuff inside so as not to bring other people down. The closest people to me almost don't want to accept when I can't find a silver lining or make me feel like I'm overly sensitive, so I don't trust anyone with my deepest feelings except my therapist. I am grateful for this group and for everyone sharing.

@dadcue thanks Mike. I don’t open up to others but feel completely safe here. Having contact with others in this group has been invaluable. Please don’t stop writing. It’s reassuring that we can connect with others and are heard.
