My partner's mother was on prednisone for years for arthritis. One night we took her to the hospital. Eight days later she was dead.
Prednisone, unbeknowest to us, thins the skin and also your internal organs. Her stomache developed a hole (not a regular ulcer), did not heal after surgery and she died.
