I'm on Prednisone 20mg 3 times a day for 5 days..and Benadry tablets 25mg every six hours indefinite...When I take the Prednisone, i eat immediately after i take it...a pretzel, cracker a piece of bread or drink milk. I dont have stomach aches, nausea, moon face, DEPRESSION, none of that! Some of you are reporting horrible side effects after taking PredniSOne for only a few days...geez! My hives are 'down' but they are still there. The itching is waaaaay down...but i feel that all of this will come back HARD when i run out prednisone. I read that we could have chronic hives (those who have been diagnosed with chronic hives) because we could have a 'mass' (benign or malignant) in our bodies that is inflamming our systems. AND...it's time that we stop eating the foods and snacks that cause our bodies to 'flame up' because eating junk fastfood, etc cause hives also. It's NOT just about allergies. It's about good health, diet and taking the medicine EXACTLY as it says on the prescription bottle instructions. It's time you all go have MRI's, your mammograms, X-Rays, etc to see what it is that is causing the chronic hives. You may not have ANY symptoms but hives but maybe you have a mass somewhere in your body...check out everything. Be well.
