Tastebuds off

I have been recently diagnosed with Vasculitis particularly Granulomatosis with polyangiitis. I'm on 80mg of prednisone. My taste buds are way off. Even my ice water has a taste. Anyone experiencing this?

Hi yes Prednisalone messes with my tastebuds aswell, I'm not on as much as you (20 mg) but tea for instance tastes metallic....and I can't get to sleep at night when I'm on it...but I'm grateful for the relief it gives me when I'm in a flare...

Yes my tastebuds are making everything taste strange, either salty, metallic,or plain awful. I am also on predisnolone,15 mg a day, I'm sure this is the cause, but I can put up with it, as. hardly any pain with steroids.
