Prednisone is not a one dimensional treatment. Prednisone is said to have an effect on every cell in the body. Almost all cells have glucocorticoid receptors. Because these receptors are present in almost every cell, prednisone affects numerous bodily systems. Prednisone has therapeutic benefits but it comes with a wide range of potential side effects. It turned out that I needed multiple medical specialists to manage all of my Prednisone side effects.

I just wish those specialists could work in concert with each other instead of us having to arrange appointments ourselves which could take months to get in and months to get answers to all the different issues going on with our bodies, while the steroids are terrorizing our bodies.
I feel fortunate to have been able to navigate this journey so far but feel bad for those who are unable to manage a care program or have minimal medical support.

@dadcue this is just crazy. It's like the "cure" is actually worse for us than the disease! I wish you well, and thank you for the reply
