Prednisone Reviews
Working / Worked
It's being used for me until I get in to see a rheumatologist. It's working fairly well. I still have symptoms, especially in my knee and left hand, but I feel a hundred percent better than I did.

side effects are pretty intense, still sturggling with dealing with them, currently tappering off of them, dealing with intense mood swings.

I take this med for my RA and my MG. This is a bad guy but it helps me so much with both my illnesses.

I have been on this med since the year 2000. I was on a very high dose but i only now take 10mg once a day.

Prednisone (high dose, short duration) has helped in the past to stop the progression and help get me back to baseline, but not remission. It is no longer working, sadly.

My Godsend! I've been on a moderate dose for 25 years and can't imagine having to do without it

Am currently on 40 mg. I hate taking it because of all the horrible side effects (moon face, weight gain, insomnia, mood swings, constant hunger and thirst, constant bathroom trips)

Currently taking for Crohns. On 40mg. Arthritis symptoms soon went away after about 2 weeks of being on it with the Humira.
