Moon face, weight gain, horrible acne, hunger that never goes away, increased depression and anxiety, insomnia and then a total lack of energy during the day, irritability, a shorter attention span, incredibly low self esteem, etc etc. The worst part is that because you have to taper off so slowly it feels like you have no control over what’s happening to you

@@iijamezii408 mostly, but you have to taper off very slowly. The weight you gain stays unless you make efforts to lose it (it is okay to gain weight and often times with Crohn’s or UC the weight gain is a positive thing.) The moon face dissipates after you get off it, it’s due to water retention and unrelated to weight.

This video was so nice to watch! I’m 18 years old and was diagnosed only 3 months ago with a rare disease and was put on 50 mg of prednisone. The moon face is ridiculously bad, I don’t even recognize myself and when people look at old photos of me they can’t recognize me either. I have also gained 20lbs, which for me as a 5’3 and petite girl, is rough!!! I started new treatment for my illness and we are now slowly tapering. I’ve been on 40mg of prednisone for a month and just found out we are going to try a different immunesuppresent to try and get off the prednisone since my side affects are so strong. Seeing that you were able to have a positive difference with your moon face once you started getting on lower dosages was really comforting. Thank you! 💕

The only thing Prednisone did for me was suppress my allergic reaction to an antibiotic. I've only been on it for a little over a week and slowly tapering off. I did start at 60 mgs. However, I have literally dealt with every symptom mentioned and then some. Like the moon face is in full effect ☺️ acne on my chin and on my brow stretching across my nose. Insomnia which is a laugh because I'm literally so tired, thinking about going back to bed all day! Bones and joints are hurting!! I'm so up and down in my mood I feel bipolar. My anxiety brings me back to when I was child and was unable to control my panic attacks. Other days, even with feeling nothing, I feel it fully. I feel so bad for anyone who has to live life with this drug. Totally new found understanding with people who have to adapt to life like this. I'm very anti-pharmaceutical, so I only take pills WHEN it's an absolute. I def see why because as it does help, nothing in life is free 🤣 To anyone who is still reading, you are not alone! This drugs side effects are awful 😞 hopefully you can find some comfort in knowing other people are out there experiencing similar symptoms. It'll be okay and if you can, find another drug lol 😂

My cardiologist started me on a 40 mg dosage back in October due to a diagnosis of sarcoidosis affecting the heart. I was hesitant to start on it because I'm diabetic, and I knew the damage it could do with blood sugars. I kind of got that under control for a while, but now it's spiraling out of control. I started retaining fluids like crazy, and gained 40 lbs. by December. I finally told my cardiologist I couldn't deal with these side affects any more. Now I'm in the process of weaning myself off of it and going to methotrexate. I've been on oxygen since last January - now my breathing is getting worse due to all the fluid and weight gain this crap has caused. I wish now I'd never heard of Prednisone - this is some nasty stuff. I've basically blown a whole year's worth of progress by being on this stuff just a few months.

16 year old leukemia patient here, post stem cell transplant, I have been off of prednisone for about 7 months now after being on it for around 8 months and I was just put back on a 120mgs a day dosage.. to say the least I feel like I have lost and I am terrified of what prednisone will do to me this time. Expect stretch marks, horrific acne, emotions that are impossible to describe aside from just dreadful, of course I'll be blowing up like a balloon again. Prednisone has honestly been one of the hardest parts of this whole journey for me, it ruins your confidence in every way, it destroys your image and feelings for yourself. You don't feel like yourself, and you don't look like yourself, it's the worst feeling ever. Good luck everyone, keep going and try like hell not to give up.

This summer I had a bad flare and went from taking 3 mg of prednisone to 60 mg. One morning i woke up with extreme pain in both my hips and knees and ended up going to the ER. After getting an MRI I discovered I had avascular necrosis in both hips but a lot worse in my right. I had a core decompression surgery on it about 6 weeks ago and I'm starting to feel a little better. The biggest downside is that I'm only 20 years old but I'm glad I didn't need a hip replacement. I definitely also deal with insomnia, moon face and the bruises .. drives me crazy but just trying to stay healthy and positive ❤

Made me skinny fat and i hated my body. Depressed and super short temper. People would make fun of how i looked and i started only drinking vegetable juices for 3 months and cut down body fat. I was always paper thin and very underweight since i was very young because of crohn's disease. It made me self conscious about my eating even though the reason i was fat was prednisone. 3 years later after a flair up i was put onto an intense prednisone cycle before a seton placement surgery. I am currently one week after my surgery and the 3 setons i had installed don't hurt as bad as the 2 inch long 1 inch deep hole between my asshole and scrotum. Ive had an abcess and multiple fistulaes for over 8 years now and the fact that ive been wearing period pads all the time to make the puss and blood less uncomfortable to walk in at all times is really annoying and humiliating. Those abcesses and crohn's symptoms made me miss all of 5th and 6th grade and i had tutors come in everyday. But yeah anyways back to prednisone i have constant mood swings and always feel like i wanna kill someone, thats because i never let out my anger so these meds make are like the match in front of a pool of gasoline. I train super hard everyday and love the way i look but i'm always scared that i'm gonna look fat again and mess up all my progress because of this horrible steroid. Anyways that was my lil rant about a few things that bother me about my health situation. I could seriously write a novel about all thats wrong about my health.

If you'd like to discuss more about it I wouldn't mind! But yeah I just need to learn how to get in the habit of handling all my medications and getting over the slumps that come with flaring up because I'll stay in bed for hours and take a lot of ibuprofen that doesn't seem to do much.

Rant Alert: My boyfriend of nearly a decade and I broke up a few months ago and over the last two months I've had to go back-and-forth to Chicago to more times to get more stuff and see my rheumatologist and last week was my last visit with him. Today, I went to what I was hoping to be my new awesome rheumatologist. I hate it when they start out with "I doubt you even have lupus" when you've had it for 12 years. I'm like do I need to bring in photographs of my face when I'm in full rash mode? I don't understand. I know my blood work if you look at the numbers and everything when I first got sick it actually screams scleroderma- but it was lupus. I have the full perfect malar rash and I had a rash from head to toe that has left me scarred on my legs is with bruise like mottling. My grandfather died of lupus in the 1960s while doing testing so that they could use prednisone on us now for it, back in the 60s. He participated in studies with experimental doses of prednisone and he died from it so every time Itake my prednisone for lupus (which I got more of to start today and another burst) I always quietly think my grandfather for making a sacrifice for us. The sky was screaming fibromyalgia before I was in the room with him for two minutes I absolutely hate that when you have lupus you know I mean you find all the little signs if I stop my Benlysta infusions, I will get nose sores in mouth sores so big that you'll be able to see them looking me straight in the face. And as shitty as I feel now I feel 10 times worse. I'm just so frustrated because it never goes right with a new doctor my doctor in the shit in Chicago was also a pain specialist and he was very understanding. Now, I have been slowly coming down off of the major pain medication but this doctor does not even prescribe Percocet. He acted like I was a drug addict and that really made me mad because I'm allergic to NSAIDs. If I could manage this with anti-inflammatories I would be the happiest girl in the world. Just once I want a Doctor Who has lupus I had a bed there aren't any that exist. I also have another problem which is a serious case of degenerative disc disease and I have apparently shrunk 2 1/2 inches so I think I need to go see a back doctor as well there's a lot going on with me I just I don't want someone to just hand me pills I just want somebody to understand a that I do I have lupus and being that it hurts like blankety-blank. I am the one taking myself off the meds so I don't know why I got treated that way I'm gonna go back and see what he says after he looks at my blood work and then he may or may not be fired. Anybody else had trouble getting a decent doctor? I mean it's not like it only takes us 15 years to get an accurate diagnosis, you know on the average or anything. i'm sorry I just had to vent and I figured somebody here would have had similar experience. Thank you darling for having a forum for us when we have a bad day too because I didn't know where where else to go when I came home in tears-this is the group I talk to.

Thank you for this simple, but so relatable video really makes me feel less alone like someone else out there knows what it was like and i'm not just crazy lol

Was diagnosed kidney disease membranous glomerulonephritis 3 years ago. Currently on oral chemo, started 4 months ago on 60 mg prednisone as well. now on 35- moon face is still HORRIBLE. Acne HORRIBLE. Can’t sleep to save my life. Can not wait to tapper down low enough for the moon face to end. Moon face hurts my self esteem more than the acne. I’ve lost 46 pounds since starting prednisone because my disease causes water retention / inflammation. I’ve lost all this water weight I have had for three years,. My body feels greats because the water is off my body. But I got this big round face 😂🙄 the drug we love to hate. Saves your life but destroys everything else it touches.

When I was on 50mg per day I could only sleep two hours per night. I'm still taking 5mg per day, I haven't come off since I started. Insomnia and the insatiable hunger were definitely the worse for me. And unfortunately for me, I have gained TONS of weight.

Hi, my daughter was diagnosed with lupus 7 months ago. It was hell for me to accept that as a parent. I cried like every night when she was hospitalized. The 1st time she had a pleuritis and 2nd time a pericarditis. So she had to take prednisolone tab 2 times 30 mg daily. I saw my little baby girl (changing) starting to get bigger (fat) because of the side effects. She started to get lots of foods (every time she gets hungry), her face starts getting to look puffy (moonface), and lots of acne. Luckily her blood glucose levels stayed normal. I still feels very sad when I am alone and looking pictures of her from back then and now. Before being diagnosed she had complaints of joints pain for nearly 2 yrs. Now she still uses prednisolon 2 times 10 mg. But still have those hunger feelings. I am now in the process to accept her illness and talks a lot with her to be mentally stable/ strong. She means the world to me and I am very thankfull that you gave lotts of info. You're a very beautiful lady, but some times you don't know what is hiding behind a beauty. Thanks a lot... Stay healthy and keep up the good work.

Oh jeez! My doctor put me on prednisone 2 days ago and i am nervous to even go pick it up from the pharmacy. I have had swollen hard lumps on the back of my neck and head and side of my neck. I woke up this morning scared because 2 new lumps developed overnight. My doctor didn't even bother to examine me or touch the spots of concern. She instead gave me a antibiotic and told me I had folluculitis.. I finished my meds and no budge! The meds didn't work so i went back due to the pain..and consistent swelling. A diffrent doctor examined me and looked at me like if I was crazy when I told him my folluculitis was not getting better..he told me that it was because I had swollen lymph nodes and not folluculitis. And I should come back if it doesn't get better. So I said it's been 2 weeks since I had last came and got diagnosed but before then it's a total of two months. He was surprised and sent me for ultrasound of my neck and head. The lumps are the size of a peanut or bigger. A few are the size of a small grape..and it's bothersome when I lay down. My ultrasound test are showing that my lymph nodes are benign... and that's all! Wth! My doctor calls me to tell me there is nothing wrong and tries to leave it at that. I argued that they needed to find out why I have 10 lumps on my head and protruding out of MY neck..is it cysts ..infection..cancer..swollen lymph nodes? I feel like crying at this point. Because I get the worst anxiety under stress.. I can't sleep or eat..my anxiety is so bad and the constant pain is causing insomnia. My doctor put me on prednisone to help with whatever inflammation of whatever I have..they don't know..and don't seem to care..during my visits they usually look at me and ask me if I need to "talk to someone". As in a psychiatrist! This is because when I am in pain or sick I go to the doctor and I get nervous and anxious ..mostly because I wait till the pain is bad ..because of fear of them judging me! I have to be my own advocate and push 4 test to be done..just so that they can discover that I have a thyroid problem! I just want to give up already and just wait for something drastic to happened before I see another doctor. Should I take the prednisone. I had to look up the side effects ..they just threw the script at me ..like take these and leave us alone..i guess it's because my doctor was in the middle of giving an interview to a potential medical receptionist while diagnosing me. Can you believe it! Should I go somewhere else for a second opinion!? Any ideas on what this could be? My labs were showing low white blood cells before this happened about 6 months ago.but my doctor never brought it up as a concern and never checked my whole report.. but I get a copy of it online..every time I get blood drawn I notice my white blood cells are a bit off. But not by much! I haven't checked it recently..i have been to a gyno regular check up pap smear and other test..everything is good. I am not sick..no virus..no cold..nothing.

Hey! I'm sorry you're going through this right now. Many times with medical issues we can be thrown in the dark and it is hard when the doctors don't always know everything. The prednisone would help if it is due to swelling. I'm guessing your prescription is for short-term, in which case you would most likely avoid most side effects. Might get a little hangry and deal with some insomnia but that's about it if it's shorter than two weeks and they wean you off. Second opinion never hurts! It's your health and it's important for you to know. I had swollen lymph nodes before and they were benign as well. They have been swollen for me for years but that is because I have lupus.

All the eating, the anxiety, the mood swings, the weight-gain, the hunger, the insomnia, and the fatigue... I honestly thought I was just having a streak of shitty years but now I SEE. I have been taking 5mg of prednisone daily since 2012 and it has NOT been fun. I used to be quite a fit and cheerful person back in the day, but now any minimal sign of stress really fucks me up! College, work, gym, even socializing can feel like a burden sometimes and now you're telling me my bones can literally DIE lmao Ima go see my doctor asap. Why wasn't I told of this omfg. If anyone else has had mental issues while taking this. You're not alone. It's probably not your fault, remember you are taking this thing.

Do you find that you have to use more during a flare? I live in Vegas too and I get SSOOOOO much worse during the summer. (Does anyone else have that problem too?) I'm in the middle of a bad flare that started 2 weeks ago from being in the sun for approx. 5 min and now have to double my dose of hydrocortisone until the flare subsides. I'm terrified the rheum is going to put me on prednisone instead but feel like that might be the only thing to get me back to the status quo.... Thanks for another enlightening video!!

Hello and hugs to fellow Lupi. I have been taking Prednisone off and on for over 20 years. The worst side effects have been at higher dosages or daily doses. The "shakes " was the worst. When I am having a more sever flare I sleep a lot even on Prednisone. People can be very judgemental. They wonder why you would ever take prednisone. For my doctors this is a LAST resort. So, if they see your other meds are not working, inflammation increases....then it may be a necessary evil. The weight gain after all these years is definitely a bigger battle. Really appreciate your videos and positive attitude. Thanks for listening.

I already slept like 5 hrs a night, now I go with no sleep 1-2 nights a week. Things that helped me: ASMR, herbal tea, ice bath, some vegetable to snack on endlessly (carrots), a punching bag and prayer.

I had started taking this 2 days I turned 15, and the day of, I had felt like total shit. I had already gained 5 extra pounds and every week was 10 pounds. I had stopped bc the dose was only for 2 weeks and it tapered down. I gained 20 pound. It had altered my anxiety. I had been so hungry all the time, it wasn't fun. Im going through the acne after prednisone. I was so confused and I had to research alot all of the symptoms and things the doctor didn't tell me. I just feel horrible as a teenager not knowing what the hell I was taking it wasn't worth it.

My symptoms started around my 40's, I'm 53 now. I'm also wondering how everyone's coping with all the additional stress from our country's current insanity. 😲 It can all be too much! Sorry to get political. Balancing continual rising costs of medicine, food, etc and living in a state that doesn't allow me to get any help really makes a bad situation even worse. Having to decide which medications I can afford month to month adds additional stress. Thank You! all for letting me rant. Praying for all my brothers and sisters struggling with these issues. Much love 🌸😘
