I will wrap you up in all the comforting string possible! I totally agree that the side effects of Prednisone are almost worse than the illness. And it seems to affect everyone differently. For me, I get RAVENOUSLY hungry and can put on ten lb. in one week when I'm on it. It also makes my vision blurry and makes it hard to think and concentrate, so it's hard to do my job. I also get rather mean and short tempered. I've had that awful fluttery heart thing too. I can't imagine being on a steroid IV. Hang in there girl! (Oh no, I just realized -- if you get hunger as a side effect that would be awful during a Crohn's flare up!! I hope that isn't the case for you.)  **Hugs**
