Oooohh, I didn't know "eye pressure" was a side effect from Pred. I have had it so much latey and couldn't figure what drug it was coming from. It's not a dibilitating problem, but it's certainly annoying. Glad to find the source of the pressure.
I've managed to maintain my 110lb weight on 40mgs, but my belly looks like I'm 7 months pregnant. I'm guessing that's the water weight, or "apple belly" as I have heard it called. I do get the moon face and buffalo hump, so why not add in an apple belly while I'm at it? Grrrr. Thankfully, no stretch marks...yet.
I have to say that everytime I'm on Pred, the side effects tend to be different. Last 6 month stint, I was Mrs Raging McMeanypants. I learned to deal with that after alienating a lot of people. This trip down Pred Alley has taught me a few lessons. Use every bit of energy to your advantage while you still have it. I also learned that Ambien is my nightime friend, Works wonders. And perhaps I have matured a little in that I can recognize and restrain my raging moments so not dcare away my loved one's.
its SUCH A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP!
