Roger has arthritis and has been taking prednisone at prescribed levels for two months.He isn't feeling well and complains of repeated colds.He is puffy.Explain the reason for these symptons.
The other thing about prednisone is that it loses its effectiveness over time. He should not be taking it for two months in a row.

Excellent advice Caregiver!
My sister has to take Prednisone sometimes when her RA gets out of control. This is only for a couple of days until her RA is back under control. This med is very potent and comes with a long list of side effects. The two most common are weight gain (puffyness) and lower resistance to infections.
The aloe vera juice is a great idea too.

Prednisone depresses the immune system and one becomes more likely to get a cold or any infection.
There is no such thing as "prescribed levels for two months". Oral prednisone every day for two months is medical malpractice, except in a small village in Afghanistan where they worship the snake God and stone people to death for watching Snookie on "Jersey Shore". It's not really a rocket-ship idea.
If you are a nursing student learn about the PDR, or "Physician's desk reference" and look up prednisone and side effects.
Tell him to try drinking aloe vera, which is an excellent mild anti-inflammatory.
