That's indeed a severe allergic reaction!
Yeah, prednisone does that
I think about food way too much since prednisone In bed, I think of cheese. And chips, and mayonaise...and potato chips. And potato chips with cheese and mayonaise, and ....
There are different kinds of treatments you can try, but most of them they give together with the prednisone, cause most of them take a little while (weeks, months, or even years) to start working.
Some often used to treat MG are azathioprine (imuran), mycophenolate (cellcept), cyclosporine (neoral) and methotrexate.
I tried them all.
