After numerous decadron shots, I finally went on a prednisone dose pak last week. All this started after falling and pulling a muscle in my side.
My 1st side effect was this wonderful feeling/energy after day #2. If I would have been up to it, I would have cleaned my entire house and still hunted for something to clean. I told someone I felt 20 years old and may feel 15 after finishing the pak. No such luck.
2 nights ago, I couldn't stop feeding my face. This went on for about 3 hours. I ate everything edible that I could find, even going as far as pouring italian dressing all over a chicken breast and gulping it down, yucky.
Today, I'm miserable. My stomach feels 10x's bigger than usual, and I feel so bloated/full even though I've not eaten much today. I actually took a laxative thinking this might help the fullness feeling.......no such luck.
I've never taken this. The extent of my medications is Crestor 10 mg 2x week. I'm an LPN in a busy doctors office, so I know what's going on with my body.
I'm hoping this fullness feeling will go away without any complications. I'm off work tomorrow, so it will be tuesday before I can report my side effects.
