Just got prescribed prednisone; Is it worth it?

So I went to my GI today and my calprotectin has gone down from 1700 to ~500. I thought this was great news, but they then told me that they weren't happy. I had been on budesonide for 2 months along with mesalamine, and they said the results were unsatisfactory. So they proceed to prescribe me prednisone, and now I'm doomscrolling reddit reading all these horror stories and I'm wondering; is it worth it? My UC isn't even that bad, and I haven't had a flare up (yet). I'd much rather deal with 4-5 bathroom trips and a bit of blood than 70 lbs of weight gain, acne, stunted growth (I'm a teen), and moon face.
