Prednisone is a commonly prescribed medication for various inflammatory conditions. Ive heard lots about Prednisone, but recently switched to the Intensol liquid form and am curious about others' experiences. What are some of the ways you found to help manage side effects or dosing? **My experience:** I was initially prescribed the tablet form to treat my rheumatoid arthritis, but I found them hard to swallow. My doctor switched me to the liquid 5mg/1ml formulation. I had a bit of a learning curve when it came to measuring the correct dose, but it's been a game-changer. I have experienced some changes in appetite and sleep patterns, but so far, not any of the serious side effects. Still, it's got me wondering: how many of you have had any of these more serious issues? How do you all track and manage the side effects? I am using a symptom tracker app, but would love to find more tips!.
