Answers:
I was on prednisone continually for over 2 years at doses around 200 mg. Seriously. It sucked, but I'm alive now and am so appreciative of it. Your side effects sound normal, but it's always good to double-check with your doctor's nurse. A quick phone call can take care of that.
My personal belief is that I'd rather take prednisone than be dead. So, I'm willing to take it as long as my body needs it.
Take care and best of luck to you!Health Question & Answer

If you have any concerns talk to your doctor, 3 weeks really isn't that long compaired to alot of people that have been on prednisolone, personally I have been on and off it for 10 years, and only the last time I was put on it in may did I ever have any side affects, if your genuinely worried talk to your doc.Health Question & Answer
