Hi everyone,
I've been on Prednisone for the past two months, since I got out of the hospital, but I am currently tapering down. I started with 40 mg, and I am now at 15 mg. Recently, I've been very down/upset, and I feel like there is nothing to look forward to. I don't know why I'm feeling this way, but I have my finals coming up for school (senior year of HS) and I might be stressed from that as well. I just wanted to see if there's anyone that feels in a similar mood and if you think the steroids might be contributing to this. Thanks!

This disease is very hard, physically and mentally. Steroids are likely not helping :( Sorry you have to deal with this so young

It could be from pred but if you do not feel better when pred is done i suggest you speak with your doc. I am sorry you feel this way and hope you feel better soon
