Best going to see doctor and have it checked out.....better safe that sorry>>>Fran  Franchamp Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT On 3/16/2007 Franchamp wrote: On 3/16/2007 Elizabeth22 wrote:Please can anyone tell me what is typical to expect if taking 20mg of Prednisone for psorisis or skin rashes?I've just taken 2 pills of 20mg once ysterday at midnight once today at noon and now I'm confused about the side-effects.......I'm really hot and cold at once,have heart palpations and now have redness in my face which wasn't there before.

My skin is very dry and senstiive.i have been freaking out mostly from the drug's side effects one of which is anxiety,insomnia,rash,chills,racing heart etc.What a large aray of choices to become uncomfortable and i was already uncomfortable! Thanks for your quick response.I'll try to get some sleep. Elizabeth22 Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT
