New Message on Pituitary Chat Why hydrocortisone not predisone? Reply   Recommend Message 5 in Discussion From: LoSNaz Are you folks taking long term low dose prednisone? Wil lyou have to remain on it? If so, are you suffering any side effects? My Doc who treats me for Crohn's disease told me she wouldn't put me on long term prednisone because of hte side effects- Said she didn't want to see me in wheel chair by time I was 50- But I know people that have been on low dose prednisone all their life practically due to arthritis & was wondering about maybe a low dose maintanance for me as well because it does help with hte muscle weakness somewhat.
