besides crying while at 60mg of pred and hot flashes I did not get all the regular side effects until about
2.5 mos later.
You may not need to go up to 60mg and may not need to be on it as long as I have been. If you do go on limit your salt.
Beth, 32 ~ hoping to taper pred successfully, wish me luck!
