Symptoms are: pain on my right side, nausea, exhaustion, a full feeling: so loss of appetite. When I am not on Prednisone, and I begin to lose weight without trying, I am usually happy until the rest of the symptoms kick in! Then I know it will be a major relapse. At this point, I have been on Prednisone since Aug. 2017, so it's only weight gain for now unfortunately! My doctor also put me on oxycodone for pain and targin for breakthrough pain. The oxycodone makes me dizzy and I prefer the targin, which is a slow release oxy based medicine that doesn't make me dizzy or sleepy. I hope this helps. I'm from Hamilton btw....almost neighbours!

@kimh Being on Prednisone so long affects bones and teeth negatively... Even with Transplant patients they have to get off of the Prednisone gradually... then the lose a lot of weight... a friend, a liver transplant patient (male) lost 50 pounds during the time he got off of prednisone.. Have you checked with your physician lately concerning this?

Hi Neighbour! My grand daughter is in her 3rd year at the university....thx for those details. I never have pain bad enuf to take a pain pill as I always go to the bathroom. Sometimes have a full feeling, no nausea ever. I obviously have it but maybe it is not bad enuf to have symptoms and nothing showed up in the area where I had the pain. Glad to hear you don’t take oxy any longer as it is very addictive... I will get back to you when I see my doctor. The doctor you go to does he specialize in this problem? Maybe I should get his name from you if you don’t mind.....I will talk again after my appt. thx. Be safe
