The Prednisone caused uncomfortable side effects like jitteriness and inability to concentrate, but at least the other symptoms that made life miserable subsided.

However, these side effects are rare when prednisone is taken at low doses for a short time.
Prednisone can be associated with a number of side effects.

Another tack is cortisone or prednisone injections to reduce inflammation, which among other side effects causes further deterioration of the ligaments and tissues.
That gives the good effects of cortisone, without the numerous bad side effects of administered prednisone or other steroids.
Steroids (prednisone or dexamethasone) have been used to protect the optic nerve but have limited long term use and may produce significant side effects.

I have had a lot of asthma with pneumonia this year. 5 times and 4 times hospitalized. From the injections of steriods and rosephin my skin is acting weird. I have large red stretch marks on my body.
