Prednisone
I was on 10 mg a day (5mg twice a day)... At first I was hungry for about a week or so then it leveled off. The only problem I have encountered is the massive headache I have when I stopped taking it cold turkey. It has been 2 wks and my head hurts all day even when I take Aleve...

Re: Prednisone
I was on prednisone for years but not during a pregnancy.
It makes you hungry, very hungry and its hard to satisfy the cravings. wt gain, your blood surger can jump. For me it caused drug induced diabetes, BUT I was on it long term. prednisone is a great drug for inflammation.

Re: Prednisone
I'm on 10mg twice a day. It did make me more hungry. At first I was very thirsty too but that has gone away.

Prednisone
I was on it (10 mg) prior to pregnancy (about 2 weeks before transfer) and just stopped it at 11 weeks. I started weaning off it at 9 weeks. I didn't have any major side effects. GL

Re: Prednisone
I was. Good news is that it brought my immune panel results way down so it did what we wanted (I am now 18 wks pg). I hated that medicine though, my face blew up (they call it moon face) from being on 40mg (and I was previously on doses from 10-20mg before) and after weening off of it I still have joint pain a month later. But I would do it again in a second because it worked. Good luck!

They had me on 40mg for 2 weeks, but I was on 10-20mg from November through March. It then took me a month to wean off the 40mg (once I was 14 weeks I was completely off prednisone).
