I agree, for me this is a horrible drug! This is the 2nd time my...

I've done alot of research on Prednisone. I read all the time about people experencing nausea, panic attacks, brain fog, fatigue, low blood sugar, weight gain, moon face, sore joints, hair falling out, well the list goes on and on. Kidney infection I'm not sure. It would not surprise me because Prednisone can cause any minor infection in the body to flourish so you may be right. First thing tomorrow call your doctor. Good Luck..

YOUR POST WAS EDITED FOR CONTENT AND/OR SPELLING: Survivors Of Prednisone Type: Common Interest - Health & Wellness Description: Many of those with auto-immune diseases such as Crohn's Disease are forced to go on a prescribed steroid known as Prednisone. The effects of Prednisone are terrible. Prednisone creates water retention (puffiness) in your face and torso. It causes severe mood swings. It also causes your hair to fall out. And that is just going on the Prednisone. Once you get off the Prednisone, you then have to deal with the adrenal insufficiency as Prednisone can shut down your adrenal glands. There seems to be little support for people who have been on Prednisone. They seem to be left alone to deal with the side effects and the confusion and fear that it causes. This is what this group aims to do: Create a support for People on Prednisone or who have been on Prednisone :) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7321407847Provide awareness of how Prednisone can and has affected lives. So if you are feeling down or suffering from crazy mood swings or can't handle looking in the mirror anymore then come and let it all out !

I HAVE JUST FINISHED A THREE WEEK STINT ON PREDNISONE AND LAST NIGHT MY KIDNEYS FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS PUNCHING ME. ACTUALLY IT WAS ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. DID YOU EVER FIND OUT IF KIDNEY PAIN IS A NORMAL SIDE EFFECT? I FEEL SO OUT OF IT. MY HEAD IS THROBBING AND FOGGY TOO. YOUR DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T.
GOOD LUCK

I've been off Prednisone for the last 2 weeks. My feet is so dry and the skin is starting to crack up...I've experienced severe headache, dizziness, weight loss, fatigue, "joint pains", depression and back pain especially on lower part where my kidneys are... so you're not alone...
