Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Jeanne Ann, Weighing the pros and cons of prednisone use, I personally come out against it--for me. When I first took it the objective was to halt the progression of transverse myolitis. Well...I didn't really have transverse myolitis. So the primary objective failed. But there were positive effects--walking better, feeling fabulous, needing little sleep. But coming off the stuff was so bad, that I would never do it again if the only positive was the temporary cessation of PLS sysmptoms and euphoria. (I felt VERY down, I felt my walking was horrible, and I was exhausted--probably because of 10 days of little sleep.) Then, add in the dangers of steroid use in general, and I come out against another round of Prednisone--for me. > - >> > Hi Mark, > Were the results of the prednisone not worth the > danger?
