The one thing I remember about prednisone is it gives you a happiness feeling👍🏻 The other is my body swelled all over, but I was so happy to be able to move. I was able to trim my toenails without struggling and no pain. I was on prednisone almost a year before beginning the tapering off. Per rheumatologist.
