Hi Whirlwind!
You MIGHT - only maybe- feel a little weaker, but after that you should feel pretty good!
20 mgs will give you energy, a big appetite, and may make you a bit hyper. It may also cause swelling, acne, and mess with your legs - they may get a bit weak - got stuck on the toilet once, but I was @ 80......LOL!
Everyone reacts differently to pred. Some people have tons of side effects, while others don't have many @ all. You just never know.
I am super thankful for pred! It has made my life bearable again! Granted, I have gained weight, but am so grateful that I am able to swallow, talk, walk, BREATHE again on my own! You will want to stay out of the sun - it only makes you feel worse - and heat is a big "no no" on pred, but it is anyway with MG, so it will be OK!
Hope this helps a bit!
Big hugs!
Erin
