Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
I am sorry for you.
Yes you will feel better when prednisone is withdrawn.
Meanwhile it can lead to fluid retention, cause potassium loss, reduce your immunity to infections, may precipitate Hypertension, and Diabetes.
So control salt intake, ask your doctor whether you can take spironolactone for potassium and fluid retention. Also check BP and Blood sugar regularly while on prednisone.
