Prednisone can be a life saving medication, especially in allergic reactions and autoimmune disorders. Today we will discuss how it works and how to approach the side effects some may have.
When you have to take prednisone, many will complain of having the munchies and are gaining weight. Let's learn today how to combat those hormonal changes and help explain why a burst of energy occurs when taking prednisone.

Many patients with CMV or EBV also share that they felt normal while taking prednisone, because they finally had energy back. Learn more today how prednisone can affect you.
