taking prednisone for ulcerative colitis. . .can't seem to get below 60 mg. a day but my doctor is going to try tapering me off again while the Imuran he put me on hopefully takes effect. can't stand this freaking drug! my face is bloated and huge (moon face) and it makes me look at least 30 pounds heavier than the 15 pounds i have already put on in the last couple months! i'm hungry all the damn time . . .and so i gain more weight and i'm major mood swing girl so i'm super sensitive about my appearence. i know the prednisone is the only thing keeping my disease at bay (and me out of the hospital) but the side effects are horrid!
