      Reviewed prednisoneon 1/31/2017I've been on low-dose prednisone (3-5mg/day) for almost 10 years & it's done an excellent job at controlling my RA symptoms (in concert with Sulfasalazine & Plaquenil). Unfortunately after 8 years I did develop a cataract in one eye (a common side effect for long-term steroid use) which had to be surgically removed -- not fun! -- but insurance covered the surgery, recovery time was not bad, & my vision came back 100%. So in my opinion, ultimately it was worth it.

    Reviewed prednisoneon 12/8/2016I am still on prednisone low dose trying to tapper of but finding it difficult. It has saved my life and has allowed me to regain some level of physical Independence. I do respect and appreciate the benifits of the drug. The side effects for me frightening and innumerable sometimes I felt like I wouldn't make it. I quiet cool turkey once but had to start over

    Reviewed prednisoneon 10/14/2016Miracle drug for stubborn asthma flares! Don't let the nasty side effects scare you from short-term use when inhalers aren't enough. Steroids shrink inflammation at the root of asthma like nothing else. Lessons learned: 1. Don't wait: Call doc as soon as regular & rescue meds quit working 2. Take step-down dose as rx to reduce side effects 3. Side effects easier if you're prepared. Mine: munchies, edema, yeast infections, "speedy", moody, menstrual irregularities.

    Reviewed prednisoneon 10/13/2016Doctors are reluctant to give this drug but it is very good. I had zero side effects. Felt better than I have in 10+ years. It should be given for longer courses than they are comfortable prescribing. 7 days did not produce remission. 31 days did! I wish I could have a standing prescription for this stuff so when I need it it is available!
