Answer 1

I have Crohn's disease, and have taken Prednisone (a steriod). I took it for about 3 years. Some of the side affects of that were
1.) you cant grow during that period
2.) your face gets all fat
3.) occasional mood swings
4.) not much patience

It has been 2 years since I have gotten off the Prednisone. I have started to grow again, thinned down, become more mild-mannered, and am still not very patient. That is just my nature however.

This is just my first-hand experience. I hope it helps.

Answer 2

Crohn's disease is often treated with corticosteroids. These are different from anabolic (bodybuilders) steroids in that they do not promote muscle growth or suppress estrogen in women. Corticosteroids are used to treat inflammation. A weak corticosteroid is actually cortisone cream - used for itchy skin. Long term use of corticosteroids can cause weight gain (temporary and goes away after stopping the steroids) caused by water retention, weakened bones, suppression of the immune system and thinning skin. Corticosteroids are not really good for long term use but can offer significant relief to people with inflammatory diseases like Crohn's. There are much more effective therapies avilable for Crohn's right now - the most common being Remicade. Most people with Crohn's can live a normal life with treatment.
