Hi Merry
Just came across this....you turn into a mean and intolerant person????? I started Prednisone 40mg six weeks ago (2wks 40mg, 2wks 30mg, 2wks 20mg and now 2 wks 10mg and then stop) for what is now described as radiation-induced pneumonitis. I became hyperactive and organized a ton of stuff...fortunately it put me in a good mood, and I couldn't stop talking. But it doesn't let you sleep. So, I will be glad to be off of it. Unfortunately, in my case it means they can't do immunotherapy.

Vic- Will you be able to go on immunotherapy once you are off the prednisone?
The reason that I was on such a heavy dose, 60 mg (protocol is much like yours) was also due to radiation-induced pneumonitis. At first I acted much like you but as the months passed that feeling wore off and I was worn down.
I don't want to re-live that again. It wasn't very good. I only gained about 5 lbs but I had the prednisone cheeks! Not a pretty sight at all. lol
