There are many threads in the prednisone/treatment subforum on here, which describe these symptoms exactly. The unease they call steroid gitters, and the mood swings which occur once your weaning, and or have weaned and go back to 40mg ect... 'roid rage'. The side effects are horrid, hopefully you'll be able to wean with no problems. I tell my GP any and every new symptom. Some side effects, such as Moodswings, are generally treated with antidepressants, some side effects are made worse by things like candida, and there's no medication to make it better, just calcium for joints/bones, fish oil, vit d, and personally, 2 good probiotics and a vit c garlic supplement, help a lot with candida flares, which prednisone is a classic cause of, along with other imune suppressants like azathiroprine. Flu symptoms with headaches, dizziness, fogginess, are symptoms of Pred and candida- and low bp, and dehydration. If I have a dry coated tongue, I know it's candida flaring, and dehydration, not just prednisone. Hope it helps. There's lots of great threads on here about Pred, some scary even, as to just how severe some ppls side effects can be. :/
