Data, I am weeks behind in reading the forum, so my comments may be worthless. But I just want to say that it can be very dangerous to stop Prednisone abruptly; it has to be slowly tapered, and a taper from such a high dose would take months and months if done properly. Also, Prednisone is notoriously hard on the stomach, can lead to ulcers and it is always recommended to take with food to decrease stomach side effects. Some physicians might even add some other meds to protect your stomach.

I have also heard of Prednisone leading to earlier development of cataracts.

So sorry you have to deal with all this, and that your energy has not yet returned. Sending you positive thoughts!
