I've been on Prednisone since around late June, and by October 9th i'll be off it. My face is all fat, i've gained alot of weight, i'm getting HORRIBLE muscle cramps/soreness, which is BAD because i'm playing guitar in a show tonight, and if my hands cramp up on me while i'm playing I will be screwed. Annnnd, increased apetite, I have to pee all the time, especially at night (i wake up about every hour starting at 6), i only get about 6 hours of sleep per night now, i'm getting really bad acne and facial hair growth. Also, i had a really extreme mood swing last night where i became very grumpy. Then in a few hours i was fine. And i'm 17. I don't like this drug. I'm taking it for Ulcerative Colitis, and because of it my symptoms have disappeared. I'm hoping that my symptoms don't return when i come off the Prednisone, because if i have go back on it i'll flip out. :D
