eat avocados to help with cramps. No one tells u that prednisone depletes potassium. Better avocados than banana because prednisone also raises your blood sugar.

Corticosteroids deplete not only Potassium (K), but a few other very important vitamins & minerals (Cr, Ca, Se, B6, D, Mg) as well. Make sure you take a high-quality (not "one-a-day") multi-vitamin-mineral complex. The "Ultra Preventive X" from Douglas Labs is among the best. "Nutrient 950" from the Pure Encapsulations is good also. Good luck!
