I know.I wish I could have stayed on it longer.My primary put me on a very low dose for a couple weeks and than we tried it again a couple months later.Covid attacked my vagus nerve and all of my muscles.I could not swallow,walk,breathe or even lift a spoon to my mouth.I honestly think he saved my life.No other Doctor would help me.I had lost so much weight from not being able to swallow and was barely 100 pounds at 5'11.I could not even drink an ensure.The Prednisone gave me life and it is truly a miracle drug.He thought to give it to me because we have tons of Lupus in the Family and I already have Hashimito's.He did not even know if covid was involved at the time,but he was just treating what was wrong with me like an Autoimmune because my whole body was under attack and just stopped working.It even helped me go to the bathroom again.I was basically like a human vegetable,but all my Brain MRI's and tests were coming back normal.I think the two rounds of Prednisone got rid of the terrible swallowing issues for the most part and my pain is not constant like it use to be and I am still able to walk.It has been close to 2 years and I could not even get out of bed for a year.I guess alot of Doctors are treating Long Covid like a Brain injury now.It was like I had been in a coma after my body finally came out of constant fight or flight.I think alot of people have been using cymbalta with really good results too with muscle pain and walking issues.I know that is normally used to treat Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia.
