PredniSONE Dyshidrotic Eczema, Hunger Relief, Baked Potato, Sssh, Wide Awake

I was put on a 12-day dose of Prednisone for what the Doc "thinks" is dyshidrotic eczema. (I suddenly developed a rash on my hands and feet a few months back.)

This is my second day on the sssh..stuff! I've taken 30MG of pred - each day. It's 2AM and I'm WIDE awake and starving!!! I ate all day today not realizing why I was SO HUNGRY! Tonight for dinner I ate a huge steak and baked potato including all the fixins. I had no sensation of fullness or hunger relief...NONE! The gnawing hungry is constant and not relieved even for the FEW hours I am asleep. After reading the lovely reviews on this site, I'm calling my Doc tomorrow and getting off of this crap. My gwad...it's 2004...can't our medical community do better than this?? They should be ashamed of themselves exposing people like me with mild conditons to meds like this with such severe side affects!!! DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR THIS POISON TO BE FLUSHED FROM THE SYSTEM??
