The first few days I was on it, I really thought it was a miracle. About 3/4 days into I started eating like a maniac, could swim for hours, exercise for hours, had dings on all four corners of my car, from taking walled corners too fast, getting up in the middle of the night to try on a cocktail dress to show my husband, and many other strange things. My face swelled up like a balloon, and was always shiny!! I tailed off the prednisone slowly, and BANG my clusters came back violently, and were relentless...I would probably say the worst bout I've ever had. It was like the prednisone suppressed them, and that made the beast angry. That's my theory anyway!! I would never take the stuff again...there are so many new things to try, with far less revolting side effects. Having said that, some people have had great success with it...I guess it just depends on you and your particular metabolism. Judi
