"I was prescribed Prednisone for a skin rash. After taking it I started noticing improvements in the rash after 2 days and then the rash eventually went away after my prescription dosage ended. I still have no idea what caused the rash but I'm so glad the Prednisone made it go away!"

"I was prescribed 50 mg prednisone, 1 per day for 4 days, after an emergency room visit after getting stung 4x by yellow jackets. I am allergic to bee stings. In the ER, a steroid was injected into my IV and the doctor told me to start the prednisone table that same day. I took 1 pill that evening. After a couple of hours, my sugars were through the roof. Over 400...overnight and the entire next day, I more than doubled my usual insulin dose without being able to get my sugars below 300, all without eating a thing. I am normally in great control of my diabetes but not with the steroid. I will not take any more of this. I will just deal with the swelling and itching. On the other hand, I was not itching and had no swelling. But just felt terrible with my sugar levels being so high."

"Had an allergic reaction to kiwi (oral and throat) and was given an Rx of prednisone 50mg for 5 days. Day 2 now; only side effect is feeling sleepy for a few hours after taking it, and dry mouth. Nothing bothersome and worked fairly quickly after the first dose."

"I am allergic to all forms of sulfite. It is often a food preservative and is in all wine. Even small amounts cause my throat and tongue to swell and itch. I take a 10 mg pill of prednisone immediately after I notice this beginning. It usually begins to work in an hour or so and takes away the symptoms within a few hours, sometimes leaving a slight soreness. Being careful, this has never happened within 6 months of each other, usually much longer between incidents."
