Re: Barb, Dee and others - mean prednisone

[Guest guest]

Andi,

I have no idea what needs forgiving. When I was on 80 mg of pred, I

nearly ran someone off the road from road rage. That wasn't even the

worst of it. I felt rage almost all the time. There was no

controlling it. I had nearly everyone I knew hating me. That was long

before I joined this group, but if there's one place in the world

that you're likely to find support and understanding for this

behavior, it is here. Even on just 5 mg of the stuff per day, I feel

it coursing through my body, making things just a touch edgier. I

tried to lower the dose just a couple of months ago and my adrenal

glands and liver both had a fit. Had to go back up on the dose.

I know how devastating it can be to face the pred monster again after

being off of it, but it can be SOOOO helpful. I do like the energy

kick I get from it...Sounds like you're at the point where it will do

more good than harm, ultimately, if you can just get through it. Hang

in there - you'll make it!

No need to ask for forgiveness - I just hope you're feeling lots

better SOON!!!

Take care,

Deb in VA
