Least of all yourself. Stress and all. I'm.. definitely not perfect in any of this. I'd like to cross my fingers and PRAY that this 'medical freak out' doesn't happen again? And I say freak out, because, I think, like a lot of everyone else here.. no one knew it was happening, what it was or anything. (That's what I understand at least) And then starts with the docs and everyone flipping out, because you know something isn't right, and "why am I feeling like this?" and "What do you mean my eyes are yellow?" When I was in the hospital and they were going over the multitude of what COULD be wrong, they wanted to rule out a (what seemed like to me) bazillion things, and they mentioned AIH, which, I quickly looked up on my phone, got to this spot and was like.."I REALLY hope it's not THAT! I don't have any reason to have that!" 
What you can and can't eat while on this medication (because of the crap your body isn't filtering right). NO SALT! makes your face swell and makes you all teary in the morning. Other than that.. nothing magical. Just praying it doesn't happen again.
sure he was thrilled. I've been taking Melatonin to help me sleep, and that works.. but now I'm dealing with the weight gain. super un-cool. But the prednisone IS working to lower my elevated levels...however I went in to get a copy of my whole hospital stay, in terms of medical records, and I am SOOO mad!! They listed "habitual abuse of narcotic abuse" as one of my diagnosis' along with "tobacco abuse". I'm like.. hello??? didn't you pay any attention??? LOVE being typecast.
