Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 I read your post about starting prednisone. I would seriously consider not taking this medication. It does terrible things to your body. My father in law took it for several years and developed osteo arthritis from it and also diabetes. He died 3 weeks ago. This drug is a wonder drug in a sense but it also deteriorates your bones and is very addictive. Is your asthma allery induced? If so I would see an allergist about de-sensitizing yourself. I have heard this works, but it takes some time. If your life doesnt depend on taking this medication I would not. Tell your doctor to be truthful about the side effects of this medication and research it on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
