How do other people deal with the side effects? The prednisone makes me weepy, hypersensitive, and spacey beyond belief. I am finally getting used to the physical aspects of it. The extra 20 pounds on my 5'4'' frame, settling in an area my sister refers to as my buddha belly. It actually is cute, now would anyone else think that probably not! I have no control over any aspect of my life any more, they tell me what to eat, have I exercised. How are you feeling 20 times a day. I am trying to deal as best I can but I could use your feedback on what you have done in these situations. Right now my case is mild, inflammation in veins, lungs, and muscles. Tried to treat with prednisone and it didn't work as well as wee would have hoped. Next came methotrexate, after one dose my liver function came back elevated. back to prednisone, I should get test results tomorrow to find out if it was the drug or the disease that was affecting my liver. Trying to stay positive and just take it one moment at a time..
