I can't take Prednisone. My PCP has told me to never take it, he's the one that saw me on it, not my pdoc at the time or my current one cuz I see residents so they change kinda often. I'm able to tolerate a Medrol Dosepak though, so when I need steroids, that's the go-to. I have bad asthma and get bronchitis almost yearly. And then I need them for pain also sometimes... The Dosepak isn't as strong tho so it probably wouldn't knock out what you have going on right now...
