Prednisone - Just wanted to vent...

I recently went down to 35mg of Prednisone (started at 20, then up to 60, then to 50, 40) and after avoiding some of the side effects I feel like NOW they are coming on like crazy! I've definitely gained weight, even though I've been trying to exercise, not eat too crazy, etc. and my forehead has about 50 zits across it right now and speaking of my face, definitely have noticed a certain rounding starting to happen, ugh!

I'm just venting, I know all of these side effects are better than being sick, but I still hate them (perhaps I'm having a Prednisone mood swing haha).

It's interesting these effects started as I began tapering - does this usually happen?

I hate the idea of gaining weight and having no control over it.

I'm starting 6MP on Monday - hope I can get off these 'roids soon!!!

Just wanted to vent...hope everyone is well!! Stay strong!

That's what I'm worried about Sherbear46, the holidays, I gain weight during them when I'm NOT on Prednisone, ah!!! This probably ain't gonna be pretty, haha.

Thanks WingZero! I see you're recently off the 'roids - congrats!!!!

Totally true Sherbear46, totally true. I'll take the side effects over being on the toilet forever haha.
