All those side effects you are feeling are from the Prednisone. I have had all those and some more since I've been pretty much on the steroid for 8 years and now can't seem to be weaned off. It's very frustrating. I would seriously speak to your doctor and find out how you can get off this drug if possible. I don't know your history but I do know the side effects are bad and long lasting.
