I agree with @polykendancer. As I am a retired registered massage therapists and holistic practitioner I always advocate quality of life. I have been on prednisone three times in the past 30 years for PMR. It has saved my life emotionally and physically . I am fortunate to have a doctor Who works with me to discuss my return to health and it is important to me to have someone that you can talk to the understands who you are as a whole person
