ive been on prednisone post transplant for 12 plus years, it does mess a lil with your blood sugar levels and also increses your appetite. At first I gained water weight after transplant because I was on a huge dosage. Now I take 10 mg daily. 5 in the a.m and 5 at night.

Hey, I wonder if it messes with your sugars BECAUSE it makes you eat like a pig? I'd LOVE to eat like a pig right now!

Scars, you're 12 years post? WOW...that's what I like to hear! How's your life? Can you do lots of things you couldn't do before?

Wow, talk about timing. My doc put me on an 8 day burst yesterday because my PFTs were low, just after I posted to this thread about how helpful prednisone is. Guess I can keep you guys posted on how it goes!

Speaking of which, I started yesterday and last night definitely reminded me of another side effect that hasn't been mentioned: insomnia! I get so hyper on prednisone it becomes impossible to really turn off, and I know other people have experienced this as well. Just a warning to all the light sleepers out there (and I'm normally not a light sleeper AT ALL!).

I think cortisteroids do mess with your sugars, even independent of the eating thing, but it's true they make you super hungry.
