I was on/off it for years with ulcerative colitis. Every time I tapered down to 20mg or so, all the symptoms would come back. On 40-50mg, I felt like a million bucks. I got the moon face and night sweats but that's about it for short term. I've got some arthritis now at a young-ish age, which may be contributed to my time on prednisone. My sister was on over 100mg at one point; she lost all her teeth eventually. I'd look into seeing if calcium supplements help.
I was anemic, underweight, and malnourished. They wanted to yank out my colon. I got my life back via a strict diet and I haven't had a symptom in 8 years. PM me if you have questions.
