My father was on & off prednisone for years. We called his prednisone personality predno boy. IT WAS AWFUL! He was rude, sarcastic & short. It was very difficult to be around him & more difficult to try to be supportive. Nothing was good enough & nothing was right. He hated the way that it made him feel & that was part of the reason that he acted out but I back you 100% in believing that prednisone causes mood swings & angry outbursts - not to mention a definate personality change. Sorry I don't have anything more helpful but thought I would let you know that my (and my family's) experience was the same as yours.

Yay! Glad to hear you are on the up & up. Sounds like you are in a tough situation. Hope things continue to get better!
Yay is right! He is going out to watch football with some friends Sat. night and seems happy about it. Sigh, what a relief to see him smile a little. Hopefully, his friends will realize how much he needs them in his life. Had a long talk with one of them when he called with the invite and I feel much better just knowing he will be with some other people besides me and the kids this weekend. Say a prayer for the weekend to go well (for a change). It is time for a real breakthrough for this guy. A woman can only take so much grief from one man!
