@kjoed53 Love this!
I like to think of Prednisone as a combo of queen Latifah and Amy Schumer going in and kicking the rogue immune rebel cells a$$es that have gone haywire and began attacking my own body. They (prednisone) wear spike heel boots, are a little wild and messy, leave some broken parts and debris, but they’re putting those rogue crazies down and out.
Have to keep a sense of humor during this bizarre battle.

I appreciate your humor. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb comes to my mind when thinking about prednisone. There's a line in there from General Buck Turgidson, played by George C. Scott. When briefing the President on the risk of an all-out nuclear exchange, Turgidson downplays the death toll, casually suggesting that a war might kill "only" tens of millions of Americans depending on how things go, framing it as an acceptable outcome compared to a worse alternative. The collateral damage from prednisone reminds me of that.
