I worked in a hospital as a nurse. I felt like I needed to warn my nursing coworkers that I was taking Prednisone. Some showed some sympathy for me and offered their condolences. Others told me, they weren't going to take care of me when I was hospitalized.
I don't think I was too badly behaved. I was always surprised by how often my coworkers wanted to know how much Prednisone I was taking. It was my clue that I needed to calm down a tad.
I needed to be hospitalized a couple of times while I took Prednisone. Doctors and nurses were more discreet about blaming prednisone but I could hear the whispering.
