The prednisone will decrease inflammation and give you a boost in energy - made

me stay up all night.

Just before Christmas I had a horrible hayfever/allergy attack - I

had to stay in a hotel away from my family for a night until I could

get to the hospital. The doc put me on 5 different antihistamines

and prednisone (40 mg/day) for the inflammation and swelling (facial,

sinuses, throat). This was just to get me through the week. My

husband commented several times that I seemed have more energy and

feel better than normal. Meds normally don't agree with me.

Not only did I feel better, a rash around my mouth went away. It is

now coming back.

I normally have bad insomnia and have been taking Benadryl 2X night

to sleep, so it can't be just the antihistamines.

Thought this might be a clue, also.

Yes, this happened to me with prednisone - I had wild amounts of energy; got

up at 5:00 a.m. every morning to work in the garden, then household chores,

then wash the car, then paint the house, etc. etc. It's one of the " good " side

effects of prednisone. Unfortunately, there are many other very bad ones, so

the doctors usually get you off the prednisone as quickly as possible,
