anyone know anything about Prednisone?

Good afternoon!
I have had chronic Sinusitis for 2 years now, tried and did everything. My Dr. just started me on a 6 day course of Prednisone...I was wondering if the swelling/weight gain associated with it happens after long term use or if it will happen to me in the next few days? It is my Anniversary this weekend and I'd like to be healthy of couse, so I started taking it, however, I'd like to look attractive as well. If anyone knows how Prednisone affects one, please let me know!
Thank you! It is only a 5 day tapered coure of medicine

I was just on Prednisone for 10 days. I did get some fluid retention but it helped with my sinus and the swelling in my face. I think you will be fine.

Hi Heidi,

I've taken Prednisone for short amounts of time with no weight gain. It just helped the swelling. You should be fine.
