HI there I took Prednisone for most of my life till 19 because of Asthma. I am now 33. At 22 I had Osteoporosis in my my back and leg. I have not been on prednisone for many years and have been asthma attack free for 10 yrs. I am now trying my best to get my bones in shape. I am fairly healthy despite depression, anxiety and low thyroid my weight is a slim 120lbs at 5'7. I don't regret taking prednisone from a child as I needed it. I do get dressed that my body is tired and aches but who knows if this is from prednisone or not. It saved my life many times.
