I posted about my side effects Karen. First lot of pred, was when I had that horrible bout of pleurisy (was in hospital, they thought 'mebbe' pulmonary fibrosis. Was in a lot of pain). Horrible mood swings. Couldn't stop laughing and talking and laughing, was right off the walls and ceiling! Didn't sleep much either. Couldn't understand 'what' was happening, then, asked what the little white pills were! Ha. I stopped taking em.
Second lot of pred. Scripted for the very bad flare I just had, SIs, lower back pain and thoracic enthesisis - really bad bout of inflammation. I felt awful. Constriction of my throat, head was 'lifting', eyes not focusing properly, thick headed, then violent vomiting. I stopped taking em immediately. Strangely, was not bouncing off the walls and ceiling!
As for the pain? Well. First time round the pred did nothing for me - just made me v. v. silly. Second time round: worked the first day or two (w'end). Amazing. Good. Theennnn. Oh-Oh. Vomiting etc etc.
No. I **refuse to touch that stuff ever again...
