I have been on prednisone at least ten times in my adult life. I have no choice. It is prednisone or a ventilator if I do not use it. Pure agony for me. When breathing gets better I am left feeling like my life has been sucked out of me. Usually on it for 12 days and am left with utter exhaustion, headache, muscle pain. Illness keeps me out of work for a week but the Prednisone keeps me out several extra days and takes takes a month to get over. Blurred vision, spining feeling, nausea. Lots of emotional swings when I am on it. Some people get euphoric and some depressed. i get severely depressed but stay calm as I know it is the Prednsione. Saves my life but draws energy completely out of my body.

This is the only treatment available for my condition (Chronic Allergy Induced Asthma). Though the prednisone clears up my lungs, my body retains excessive amounts fluid, always have this pain and pressure in the upper middle region of my abdomen, irritable, and not able to sleep. Now my kidneys are being affected. My weigh fluctuates so badly.
