Having had PMR twice, did you experience any long-term side effects from the prednisone if you took it? Did they go away after you got off the pred?

The only side effect I had from prednisone was a large weight gain the first time with PMR. The second time I was more aware and changed some bad eating habits along with some exercise and was able to keep the weight gain to around 5 pounds.
