    Yes. Prednisone definitely increases my appetite regardless of the dosage and yes, I usually gain weight when I am on it. I can not say what the specific side effects are at 10 mg. So far none for me.

    What is the typical dosage of Prednisone for PF patients?  I have been prescribed both tapered prescriptions for flareups that last from 10-20 days as well as a daily dosage of 10 mg of Prednisone that went on for several months.  The 10 mg. dosage  seems to reduce my coughing and allows me to exercise more  I would appreciate any feedback about what dosages of Prednisone have worked for others.  I say this knowing that Prednisone has significant side effects.
