I was prescribed these tablets as I was suffering extreme muscle pain. After taking them I was able to move my legs and back within 24 hours.
I've take prednisone on and off for quite a while sometimes for 6 weeks with very little side affects worst one is all ways Hungary but passes when you stop taking them
I was given this for rheumatoid arthritis and within a couple of days I was pain free and swelling reduced very quickly. I was in very bad place before taking this drug, unable to even dress myself of cut up my food, taking it was like being given a miracle.
Better diagnosis would have been a great help as a misdiagnosis has set the patient back by at least 3 months
This was prescribed for Polymyalgia Rheumatica which is pain and stiffness in the joints, mainly affecting the hips and shoulders - to the extend that normal day to day movement becomes very difficult and painful.
Almost immediate relief from this steroid and although there are side effects it must be balanced by getting back to some sort of normality.
Aim is to get you fairly quickly onto the lowest effective dose but do not stop taking it and in lowering taper very slowly.
