I have 5mg of Prednisolone every night for my locah. I've been on it since Sept last year. My weight went DOWN 10 pounds when I started it. I feel better on it - more awake in the morning, and not so sick.
Hope this helps. pm me if you want

hi,
im on pred too 2.5mg in the morning and 5mg at night, its showed that my testosterone levels are perfectly normal now and the hair thinning has slowed down now. it does have some side effects though, i suffer with a lot of stomach problems with it and i think my doctor told me you have to take it for at least 6 months to see any improvement [ ive been on it 2 years ] so i think its had a fair trial!
My mom would have to use it for severe infections. She is allergic to most antibiotics. That is the last resort to reduse swelling in her brocular tubes because of asthma.
She hates it because of the stomach upset makes her want to eat.Which is one way she puts the weight on. It can also cause water retention in some.
Another reason it is so bad is it effects diabieties/insulin res. It can send your sugar out of control if your not real careful.
That's why I was so concerne about is posibly being used for PCOS. I can understand for the other conditions but not when your dealing with sugars/insulin.
Good luck to all that must use it.
