Happy this works for you!!! No anxiety with pred?
I can't take it due to that and many other contraindications, heart related, insomnia and more.

No anxiety and no significant change in sleeping patterns. My hair was thinning but I found a solution with a supplement and shampoo/conditioner. My skin has become quite thin. I use a special oil but though it helps my frequent small wounds heal quickly it doesn’t prevent them.
At 8 mg my moon face has gone. I still have those crazy eating binges but much more infrequently.
In short, it’s been well worth it so far. I hope to be off it by this time next year and will be pleasantly surprised if it happens sooner
I’m a yoga teacher and therapist. I believe meditation, regular breathing exercises, and 8 hours a week of yoga has been very helpful.
