"High dose initially got excessive swelling in my hands and itchy rash on my legs under control, then reduced down to a 5mg maintenance dose. The medication also helped with chronic pain from an old back injury to a point it hardly bothered me anymore! The steroid made my joints ache though, especially those in my hands and my carpal tunnel was much worse. When there was a delay in my prescription I reduced my dose (took half doses to make the tablets last longer): the rash stayed away and joint pain reduced. Next prescription delay I had no tablets left, so had to go cold turkey: I was fatigued, but it was OK. I wasn't given Vit D or calcium though and was told I should have been as prednisone has depleted my Vit D levels leading to other problems now."

"I was 1st diagnosed with systemic lupus then it went to systemic scleroderma in 3 months also Ana pos dual and scl70 pos. I finally got a little relief from prednisone. I was on a 30mg pill prescription. On it at least I could try to walk. To those out there. Do be afraid to try it. Had my blood work redone and waiting."

"I did not like it that much because it made me sick, however it seemed to help when I was on it. My face puffed up a bit which I did not like."
