I was prescribed 40 mg prednisone and after 12 days on on it, I have not gained weight, the flares are equally as bad as before I started.

I do notice that when I take my prednisone, after 1 hour it kicks in and gives me energy that lasts between 4-6 hours while giving me the sweats, then its back to being ill with a flare.

Is that normal? Anybody else get a temporary boost of wellness after taking prednisone?

I know IBS is a chronic problem with constipation, diarrhea, or both. Does anyone ever have normal stools from time to time and then go right back into IBS symptoms?
