It works really well for me and other than being hungry and having a lot of energy I haven't experienced any side affects using it for about 5 days for an exacerbation.

I had good luck with a short burst of prednisone awhile back. I had been on IVs for a long while and was starting to experience serum sickness. The prednisone course was just for 4 days. It helped the inflammation in my joints (part of the serum sickness) and helped my airways open up enough that I could have better benefit from the inhaled abx I was taking.
Generally, I HATE being on prednisone (like most people.) But in short spurts, it does the trick for me.

Cheyenne is on it so often that she doesnt get jitters or any of the mood swings and she eats so much now that I really cant tell a difference in that area. She does tend to be more thirty and of course urinate more often.
I am on it several times a year and hate it. I gain weight, and believe me, I dont need any help in that area anymore. I am more hatefull, irriateable (sp) than normal too. It also messes with my blood sugars, which is not fun either.
On the plus side, it does speed up the process of getting rid of the pnuemonia or whatever is the problem at the time.l

I take steroids long term, and from a long point of veiw, they have helped my lungs tremendously. they are killing my eyes, bones, blood sugar, and other things.. but that is because it is long term...
I too Pee my pants at the drop of the hat.. ( I didn't know that was steroid related thanks Mel!)
Short term it just might give you the boost you need...
Hope you feel better
