I can hardly function on this stuff. I am a 28 year old mother of four. I tend kids, and am very involved in the PTA. I was put on prednisone 3 weeks ago after being put in the hospital for pneumonia and asthma. After 1 1/2 weeks I was 23 pounds heavier and my entire body is so sore it feels like needles stabing me all over. My face is soo fat I my chin touches my neck...UGH I want to scream... I was walking six miles a day just 2 days before my hospital stay..Now it hurts my knees just to walk down the hall...The ance covering my entire body is disgusting and I am soo agitated all the time, which is not good I have six kids to tend to. I am down to 2 pills right now and will be off within 4 days.. I sure hope the side effects will go away I can't live like this another week....
