Firstly, I am very sorry you have this problem. I have widespread psoriasis but after 25 years am now having UVL therapy which is actually working. I am sure you know that prednisolone is a steroid (basically) and is prescribed for things like adrenal gland problems, Crohn’s disease, polymyositis, ulcerative colitis, etc. However, corticosteroids are occasionally prescribed for psoriatic arthritis. Prednisolone is also prescribed for problems like bullous periphigoid, which is basically severe blistering of the skin surface. The condition usually clears up after 4 or 5 months. So the steroid is used fairly widely, not just for psoriasis, and you should not be on it for a long time.
Will write again when I have more useful information.

The longer you take it and the higher the dose generally the more side effects.
Fluid weight gain can be a problem around the stomach, back of neck and rounding of the face.
It can make your skin thinner - hence bruise easier.
Also can deplete bone density - more of a concern for women.
Can also make you very awake, kind of hyper feeling.
It is a widely used drug, and not much negative feedback.
