I was wondering if someone really familiar with prednisone could set up a poll for me (dont know how :biggrin
My doc wants me to go on it and I am freaked out about the side effects...moon face et al...
anyhow, I dont know all the side effects but I thought it would be interesting to know how many people experience the side effects and which ones...
I cut and pasted these from wikipedia. I dont know how many can be included so change it however you like... add, remove some. I have never been on it so I am really curious as to what to expect. THANK-YOU
Anyhow, if someone is willing to set this up for me I would be grateful
Thanks
