I feel EXACTLY the same way!

Today I decided to go up to 10 mg pred from 7.5.

It always makes me feel better, but now I am to the point I don't want to get

out of bed in the AM.

I can live with the side effects, but not without prednisone, unless there

is a pain reliever that does not wear down....
