Horrible! What's with these doctors that don't LISTEN to their patients, who often KNOW their bodies and what's going on!?!?
From what I've read/heard, it is not unusual at all to have a reoccurrence, regardless of the time frame.
I'm left wondering how long you will have to be on the (strong) prednisolone? It's such a damaging drug. (doesn't take away my pain, which renders it useless to me)

I know that prednisone has side effects. Can you imagine if we didn't have anything like prednisone? Medicine doesn't have good answers for every condition. Just look at cancer and we had a war on cancer over 50 years ago.
