    Hi! my name is Niamh and I'm 21, in 3rd year college. When I was 15 I began, very suddenly, to have chronic diarrhea. This went on for a number of years but I didn't say anything to anyone because I felt embarrassed about it, naturally enough. It became increasingly difficult for me to hide it...

    Prednisone side effects remaining- appetite

    I'm sure this question has been addressed before as its probably a common one, but I had a look around and couldn't find an exact answer to my question so I figured I'd just ask. I've been off prednisolone for about a month now, after taking it for 6 months. I can feel the side effects wearing...
