disadvantages of Heparin and Prednisone

So...at 15 weeks I started to take Heparin shots and 60mg of Prednisone, which is a VERY high dosage! I had to get blood work done every week and to the doctors. With the blood work they would check my white blood cell count and if they were normal, I would be able to lower my dosage of Prednisone, in the 15 weeks of takin the drug I only lowered the dosage once for a week and it was to 40mg. I would not recommend taking Prednisone if you are trying to lose weight, it makes you extremely hungry all the time! In 15 weeks I gained 30 pounds. My face was so swollen that I didn't recognized myself when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I stopped looking in the mirror. My hair grew fast and became very dark, I'm a burnette and I looked as though I had black hair.

As for the Heparin, I was taking 2cc shot twice a day. My blood was so thin that if I cut myself I would bleed as though my blood was water. I was what the medical field would call a Hemophiliac.
