I posted a few weeks back. Currently on Day 45 of Prednisone therapy - down to 25mg/day from 40mg initially.

I hate this drug. Makes me wiry and irritable. Moonface and some acne. Not horrible, but I enough that it's noticeable to me. In addition, I've got a nice belly from retaining fluids. Still have some urination problems which I'm not sure is related to kidney stone or drug therapy.

Good news is it's helped my Crohns. Still not back to 100% but better than I was pre-treatment.

Started taking dietary supplements - bromelain, magnesium and multivitamins. Not sure if helping or not.
