This thread is inspired by my fear of a prednisone induced hissy fit, by me, during the holidays. My relatives really have it coming this year, and I'm always the nice "mediator" "let's all settle down" person.

I have 2 dinners - one my dad is taking care of, and that will be about 17 people, dad, grandpa, me, and my dad's new girlfriend's family (I love them, it is hysterical that my dad's new GF is only 4 years older than me. But it's cool.)

So that should be fine. My two aunts will be there and they can get out of line, so that might be hissy #1

#2 might be when I get back to my in-laws house. I have no idea what will happen then.

So we'll see!

But I thought we should have a single thread where we can post all of our 'roid rage induced "incidents."

So let's hear 'em! turn

I was always irritable on steroids. An Austin cop stopped me once for speeding. I screamed at him for five minutes, then burst into tears. As he had me up against the car in "the position", crying, I came to me right senses, apologized and told him my story. The guy actually called my doctor's office to verify what I told him, but then let me go with a warning.

I could so easily have been in jail, and I managed to curb myself somewhat after that. Still prickly and always out of sorts, but no more screaming fits.

Oh gosh Judy! tongue

 

Mine happened at a Trader Joe's. It was a Friday night so the stock was low on just about everything. Of course, the things that I could eat like peanut butter and applesauce were out of stock. There was a young woman stocking the shelves, and I asked her if she could tell me if there was any peanut butter in the back and she said to me, "Well, I can check, but it is Friday night, so that is why there isn't any on the shelves." ***My head spins, eyes are on fire!*** I say, "Are you kidding me, are you kidding me? I didn't ask you if there was any peanut butter on the shelf, I asked if you had any in the back!!!" My husband gently took me and the cart and quickly had us checked out and in the car. :-) The funniest part is I too am a pretty easy going person so he was amused to see me freak out over a petty comment. Plus, they didn't have any of the food I could eat at that time...and I had pred induced hunger. Ha.

 

Good luck Meyerlemony at all of your celebrations! You'll have to let us know the details!

My GI doctor has never put me on prednisone...but I just finished two separate tapers due to asthma. I don't have any crazy stories... I just think everyone around me is an idiot! Keep the stories comin'!

Judy, your story is hilarious!
