I have been getting CH for about 15 years. Prednisone usually interrupts the episode after just 2-3 days. this last one, however was different. i am just finishing my third course of prednisone and it looks like CH are gone until the next episode. I have not noticed any side effects. Each time I take it my doc always reminds me to beef up potassium intake since prednisone depletes potassium. My wife says that I get a little impatient/aggressive when I'm on them but I'm not sure if its the prednisone or my anxiety regarding the next CH. Good luck!
