Anyone have experience with prednisone? Have been on it for the past 2 months and been at a dose of 40-60mg a day for ITP. Curious as to what the most optimal way to lift while being on it is as it is a catabolic steroid

God bless your soul. If you genuinely feel you need to lift while on it, I would decrease the volume tremendously. Just from my own personal experiences and trying to lift while on it numerous times.

What dose were you on and for how long? And what was your overall experience? I'll be on this for at least a couple more months

I have been on and off of it for the past 6 years. Max dosage has been 40. Always ween by 5 mg when coming off of it.

Overall experience fucking sucks. Mood swings/rage/happiness at the dumbest shit. Able to notice fat stored differently on your body while on it. I will lose weight from my colitis, but gain love handles and shit like that.

The tendinitis in my shoulder always comes back when I'm on it. Really bad when I try to lift while on it and only mildly when I just decide not to lift.

While lifting, I usually do about half of a normal routine and just feel destroyed after it. I get so fatigued from it that I'll end up just shaking after a set haha.

I'm guessing this is your first time on it? When you start weening off of it, pay attention to how your body feels and how you think/feel and you will be blown away.

Not sure how 60 mg is, but 40 mg blows and the higher the dosage the harder it seems for my body to recover from lifting.

Oh and the hunger... My god. At 40 mg for a few weeks and I can't stop eating.
