Being hungry on pred is really common. Don't worry. Do you know your dose in mg?
Mood swings can also be related to prednisone/prednisolone. I feel like being in puberty again. It feels horrible. I cry, feel depressed without reason, can't concentrate on things. Pretty nasty, but normal, when I'm on pred.

One tablet is 10mg So I started with 3 for 10 days 2 10 days and now in the 1 for 10 days

I think the sensations you are experiencing could be related to the pred. My rheumy told me that anything above 7.5 mg per day could cause some side effects, but keep in mind that everyone reacts differently and has his personal own dosage where side effects show up or not. If you feel too uncomfortable you should definitely call your GI if that's possible but if you can tolerate these effects you should feel better as soon as you taper down in a couple of days.
Maybe think about what could help you in this situation. Call some friends, watch a nice movie etc. to improve your mood.
