It was very helpful - thank you. I didn't know about melatonin... I agree that Prednisone is not perfect - far from it - but I think about my life without it, which would be intolerable, so I also have to be grateful. I, too, have osteoporosis (advanced), so that scares me but if nothing else, maybe I am buying some quality of life before my skeleton crumbles... I feel fortunate that I am still able to work out and do weight-bearing exercises and try every day to remind myself that lots of people have worse problems than mine. Thank you so much for your time and wisdom. I am so happy I found this group of wonderful, supportive, knowledgeable people.
