Prednisone

[jariket]

I was warned in the hospital that the effects of the drug prednisone were not unlike being pregnant. Over the course of this week I have discovered why. I feel hungry all the time and have cravings for strange foods. When things don't go my way I have 50/50 chance of getting insanely pissed off or breaking down in tears. My emotions are unbalanced

For the rest of my life unless they figure out a new way to control organ rejection. The good news is that they are currently running a large number of studies on medical regiments that do just that. Thankfully though, the dosage is going to come down quite a lot over the next few weeks. Hopefully it won't be so bad when I get tapered down to the minimum.
