Eventually it made his hands, his fingers with thin skin, and turn kind of gray. My brother actually thought that when his fingers erupted with eczema, that he could just use hydrocortisone cream as an emollient, just to keep his hands soft. Here’s a quick story about thinning skin with hydrocortisone. That’s more likely to have thin fragile skin, for example, people with eczema, if they only use hydrocortisone cream that you can buy over the counter. I find that surprising because I don’t hear that thin skin is most common. And what you can see at the very bottom that surprised me is that this is a “most common” side effect, according to one of the references. We are still on four sources and now we’re moving on to the skin. Is thin skin from prednisone low dose reversible? These are the mood side effects you can expect when you are on lower doses. And then later, after taking prednisone a while, that high energy can kind of go down, crash, and turn into depression. This kind of “revving you up” is common early, when first taking prednisone. So for those people, they wished they hadn’t taken prednisone, that prednisone had not caused that side effect. Whatever the thing is that you’re taking prednisone for, you can actually fight back because prednisone is working! It’s not just that it’s working but it also is elevating your mood.įor some people, prednisone does the opposite and it makes you unnaturally cranky or gives you unnaturally terrible anxiety. Finally, you can actually breathe! (Asthma, COPD).(Rheumatoid conditions like Polymyalgia Rheumatica) The arthritis is under control! You can actually open a can.So at the beginning of taking prednisone, you might feel euphoria like this beautiful, wonderful feeling of extra energy, of being able to clean your house of being able to do more than you’ve ever done while suffering your condition.įinally, the condition is under control and you have symptom relief since the prednisone is kicking in! ![]() What Mood Changes to Expect on Low-Dose Prednisone? They often say, “I wish someone had told me about this because if I had known, I might not have taken it.” I hear from people more often about this than any other side effect. I don’t think enough people are warned about mood-related changes that to expect when you’re taking prednisone. This one I think everybody should be aware of and that is the mood side effects which is quite common no matter what your dose is! Next is one that I think should have been on every single list, but is only now on four sources. These are all possible ways of describing essentially the harm that prednisone can do to a heart. It can cause CHF, they also call it congestive heart failure or cardiac failure. All of them had five different sources and they had different ways of describing moon face. So moon face is the one that they often had. So when I say it’s from five sources, that doesn’t necessarily mean that every single person is going to have this side effect instead, it just means that for whatever reason, every single list includes this side effect. Read more about how I discovered the data that’s missing! For example, I expected that they’d all say “weight gain,” or they’d all say “ insomnia,” but that wasn’t true. All five sources would include the exact same list, right? I thought they would all say a certain side effect and on all of them. ![]() I searched five sources of this data for prednisone lower dose side effects, including those prescription drug references pictured above and DailyMed. Sources of Information about Low-Dose Prednisone Side Effects What are Common Low Dose Prednisone Side Effects? Now let’s see which ones got better and which get worse at low doses. Some of them that got worse on high dose include insomnia and my moon face and some of them got better at lower doses. Because of that, I had my own personal experience of what I thought was a high dose side effect. I took high and lower doses, went on a roller coaster of miserable side effects. I took prednisone for 9 months and these are the side effects that I experienced.
