AMEN!!!!!! I agree wholeheartedly with Arne. The idea of using prednisone to increase your energy is like using a hand grenade to kill a wasp. Yes, it will do the job, but will leave you in the midst of so much other damage (side effects) that you've got to wonder who in their right mind would recommend such a course of action. Remember the tasmanian devil on the old bugs bunny cartoons? OK, that's your body on prednisone -- a whirling dervish with an insatiable appetite, wild-eyed and snarling at the slightest provocation. It's a miracle drug when you genuinely need it, but 5 years of it (to control Crohn's) left me with osteoporosis, 125+ lbs of excess weight, cataracts, and a lasting fear of ever needing to take it again. DON'T TOUCH IT UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! Regards, Carolyn B. in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
