Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Welcome , Some day you may be able to get off of it, you never know, I did. I am 57 and have had lupus since a teen. I hate Prednisone too. I hated what it did to me and I was always afraid of it. I hope you get off of it one day too. From: sandy846@... Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 6:00 PM To: LUPIES Subject: & Prednisone I am new at this and would really be so happy if as many lupies who have been on prednisone like me (for 20 years) , would contact me, because I am so sick and tired to being sick and tired. When I get a flare nothing helps but prednisone, but I am so scared of the complications. Is there anybody out there like me? I am 57 years old and my dr. had no alternative but to put me on prednisone. I have gained over 40 lbs. have the mood swings, moon face, bruise easily, hair thinning, etc. Every time the dr. weans me down on my pred., I end up getting another flare up.
