[quote=Anonymous]At her next check-up, you should accompany her to her doctor and ask whether she has to stay on Prednisone. If she is lethargic with weight gain, it could also be due to hypothyroidism, which causes weight gain, fatigue and depression. So she should get bloodwork to test for thyroid function as well as anemia and any other common condition that might explain her current state. Hypothyroidism is very common in women after a certain age, so what you're seeing could be hypo + prednisone. Someone who is severely hypo will not be alert enough to go to the doctor on their own. DCUM has a tendency to jump on mental health causes, but first, you must always rule out physical causes. [/quote]
