Tinfoil brownies...


I take low-dose prednisone year 'round. I wish it would make food taste horrible for me!


It is an amazing, life-saving drug, while also being a potentially life-threatening beast!


My pdocs feel chronic use, even at low dose, causes ongoing changes in mood, despite all of their efforts to assist with mood stabilization. I cannot just get off of it. I've been on it for years. We might try a taper this winter. It is possible my adrenal glands will not "wake up," which would mean lifetime steroid therapy. We all/each make the equivalent of 7.5 mg/day on average.


Do not ever touch this med unless you absolutely need it. It can save your life if you need it. It can cause all kinds of health problems, too.


A couple of thoughts on prednisone.
