samandhuck, I am praying you feel better. Be careful with Prednisone. I think it's an awful drug and I knew one girl who died from it. She took hugh amounts of Prednisone and it put her in the grave. Why do doctors give it out like Candy and won't give it to their own kids? I hate autoimmune diseases. I think we live too clean a life. A Peruvian Shaman told me that. Kids don't play in the dirt any longer. No more playing hide and seek and running around. They would rather sit on the couch and play with their stupid I- Pad Cellphones. It's destroying their brain and they have no social skills. Playing in the dirt and getting dirty will help our immune system not attack everything in sight.
