I really think that the FDA needs to re-write the standard list of side-effects and precautions of prednisone. From what I've seen here, the listed rare side-effects are not rare at all!!

Hypersecretory Conditions, Increased Appetite, Infection, Insomnia, Nervousness
Less Frequent:
Cushing's Syndrome, Diabetes Mellitus, Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, Irregular Menstrual Periods, Osteoporosis
Rare:
