Anyway i am being weaned off of them now, down to 10mg a day from 50mg which is a HUGE difference...
So back on track i go.

prednisone is some evil ass medication, though it also has huge benefits
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, and your family, as those around you get to enjoy some of those wonderful side effects
My patients would have some of the many side effects, especially in the dead of the night. Alas I did not realize just how awful those side effects were until I had to be on some of those powerful meds. My doctor gave me valium to ensure that the side effects would not be quite as severe. They still were quite life altering. I loved my job dearly and those dang meds led to a cascade of behavioural changes. I take complete resposibility for what I did at that time. Thru adversity and pain we can and do learn so much we never would have otherwise. Still sucked, big time.
sad but true
definitely have to be cruel to be kind somedays, no?
and it is also true that kindness can be the cruelest thing of all, what I like to call modley coddling sort of drivel that people with the bestest intentions ever. end up enabling and codifying the problem - only post pone the inevitable and making things much worse often times. Sort of like taking out a splinter, faster is better...
but I so digress ~
You will soon feel much much better and appreciate your body's wisdom. We are walking talking miracles, no doubt about it!
My heart goes out to you, hon. Take care, I know you always do. Eventually
, I pray, we all do
, no?
Glad you are back in the proverbial saddle!
Back on track is a good thing.
