So I'm on day 2½ of a prednisone induced anxiety attack. Every time it's just about gone it's time for another pill. I need the pills right now, my tennis elbow flared so out of control I practically lost the use of my right arm. Even twitching my fingers caused horrible pain in my elbow. At the rate the pain is receding I'm worried 5 days of steroids won't be enough. Yet pounding heart and slightly sick stomach and feeling an urgent need to breathe deeply all day and night is not fun.
