Patty: Healing autoimmune disease

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty,

I wanted to comment too that I was put on a 10 day course of Presnisone last

Summer for a bad case of hives. For me, that stuff was awful. I had severe

tingling, electrical zapping sensations the entire time I was on it, worse than

my normal neuro problems. I feel badly for anyone who has to take it.

hugs,

Beth L.

Hi Beth,

Good to see you posting. I didn't know you had taken prednisone...thanks for

sharing your experience. I wonder why you had such a bad reaction? That's the

first time I heard of side effects like that, and I believe you. I think

Prednisone is awful, toxic stuff! But I have heard from women who have taken it

when they were in an autoimmune flare and they said they felt so good they

couldn't believe it was possible...of course, going off the prednisone allows

those symptoms to come back. It's a sad situation to go through, for sure!
