@noosat1, @dreamer38 -Thank you for reminding us that we are all different. And our bodies will react differently. That is why we need to follow the advice of our own doctors so that we can avoid any other complications.

Prednisone is a powerful medicine, and it does what it is intended to do. However, it does come with a list of worrisome side effects, and again - we each react differently, Keep in mind that medications can be a risk vs benefits decision. Work closely woth your doctor when making any medicine changes.

Regarding Prednisone , I have had to take prednisone in some dosage for the last 40 yrs. I have UCTD and asthma.chronically. On a lighter note, A great GP that took care of me over many years, who is now retired said to me at many of my appointments with him " We will write on your tombstone: She has great bones, due to the fact that she never wanted to take prednisone". A necessary evil for me. Best to all, Zenk
