It's hard to forgive them for that, isn't it? How much time would it have cost them (probably paid for by your ins.) to make sure you understood what was needed, and the dangers. No one told me Prednisone usually makes women gain significant amounts of weight. My PCP did not even one time mention my weight gains to me, the whole time. That's what broke my feet. After steroid use softened my bones. Another side effect I wasn't aware of. I ended up with Glaucoma in both eyes. It was my Eye doctor who got in my face about the risks I was playing with. She saved my sight. I still live with periodic laser surgeries to keep my eye sight from going. All, known risks of Prednisone. We didn't have Internet in our home. It was Alaska.
