my aunt is 94 and was put on prednisone after having pneumonia. She is also diabetic, and has very poor kidney function. Her symptoms are restlessness confusion and constant playing with her hands or covers, this game may last into the night, just over and over placing one hand on top of the other. In looking for causes of this, I found it could be dementia or possible side effects of medication. We took her off prednisone and this behavior stopped
