Apreciate symptoms and conditions

hi me and my friend monique took these birth controll pills called "YASMIN" and we feel pretty sick. we dont even have sexual intercourse and we still took them and they were her sisters. we dont know for sure if the stomach ache (nauseaous feelings in our stomach) is from the birth controll that we took.. if you could please tell us he answer and how serious this is, we would very much apreciate it. Thank You..

My daughter has been taking prednisone for 1 year for a musle weakness. She started at 35mg every morning she is now down to 8mg. I have noticed that she is still gaining weight and her swelling face is stiil there. I dont know if this is a normal side affect. I thought that by lowering her prednisone she would start to loose weight and her face would not be as puffy. I would apreciate it if anybody had information that I can use to help my daughter.
