hey, don't worry about the prednisone....all though there are bad parts to it, it helps so much! the 2 main things that happen with me are weight gain, and acne. be carful if you have bad acne already (like me) that you watch your face b/c it could get alot worse. if it does, tell your doctor, and he'll prbably take you off of it. luckily thats only a sideaffect i guess if your taking it for a long time...i was on it for a month. i hope this helps! don't worry about it though, just stay positive and get through it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Ugh! I was on prednisone two years ago. My nails peeled (JUST stopped!), my hair thinned, I got "chipmunk cheeks" and poofy, and really bad zits! Ugh! I really don't like prednisone.

BTW, Kate, are you Rokiss12?
ive been on prednizone so many times
i hate it so much
it makes you hungry and have mood swings and makes you FAT! also it plumps up your face so its all round looking and big and it lowers your ability to fight infections and it gives me night sweats and insomnia...
what a horrible pill.

119lbs, how tall are you, that doesn't seem all that heavy to me, are you a girl? I'm just asking because your weight is even more important durring these years if you are. If you don't weigh enough it's possible you won't get your period and develop the way you possibly could. Which wouldn't necessarily be the end of the world but my dr.'s were always saying things like you'll be healthier if you weigh more. blah blah blah, they should have said you'll have a hot body when your a teen if you put a little weight on now. Dumb Dr.'s know nothing about motivation. I've been on prednisone before too and it can suck but usually my Dr. was able to work with me to get my dose to a level I could handle and my face always..deflated <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> as soon i was off of it. Just some thoughts.
