Re: Side Effects of Prednisone()

[Guest guest]

TY for your post. I know once they decrease her dosage the side

effects will be less severe but in the meantime its very difficult.I

keep healthy snaks in the house all the time due to my fight with

obesity and Kels is pretty good about eating healthy but she craves

certain foods,popcorn, ice cream...its such a learning process for

all of us. TY again for your thoughts!
