Prednisone has any one taken it?

I have had to take it several different times for short periods of time - the main side effect was it made me ravenously hungry. At least it made me *think* I was! But each time I was on a big dose then an immediate draw down, so 2 weeks total each time. No damage and it helped me breathe again - each time it was because my asthma had gotten so bad I wasn't getting enough oxygen.

When my nephew was on it at first for his Chrons. It does make you eat and gain weight. After all these years I believe he is on something different for management.

I have taken it many times over the years and it always helped me. I had
no side effects except for the hunger thing that Karen mentioned. It doesn't
give off any "buzz" type feeling, but it will help with inflamation in your hands
or fingers. It helps relieve the pain, so you should feel better with it.
