Eden,

 

Those are some good questions, I can only answer them from my own personal experience, so here it goes.  I have never had a tattoo, but whenever I got my belly button pierced, I had a lot of bleeding afterward.  I believe when it comes to tattoo’s you’d probably have the same problem considering the fact that a side effect of prednisone causing excessive blood loss.

As for drinking, whenever I was younger I experienced many times of drinking to get drunk and I never had a problem.  Considering its a relaxant, I am assuming that it would just cause you to relax rather than go crazy.  But then again, alcohol affects people differently depending on their mood at the time that they drink.  My father would always become angry and abusive towards my mother. my brothers, and I.  So it all depends on who is drinking.  I just choose not to drink because I know that its not good for the body and it also makes me sick real bad.  If I do decide to drink, I will only drink 1 drink now and not exceed past that just for the results I get from it.  Plus, I have always read on the bottle not to drink while taking the medication.  ;-) Unfortunately when I was a teenager, I never listened to it.

I recently lost my Great Grandma and I cried quite a bit and the worst part about it was the fact that I had just had my baby and experienced a big ordeal with that.  It was definitely hard to deal with the whole having a baby to experiencing watching your great grandmother die.  I never had to receive any stress doses, so I guess you could say that I was okay in that fact too. 

Good luck with all your questions, I hope you find the right answers.
