I think that from reading through the posts and getting more information about different points of view regarding this drug, I am more inclined to think that if it works for you and you are happy taking the Prednisone and it has helped you overcome your disease whatever it may be, then keep taking it if it helps you. Treatment using Cortisone is a personal choice and if you experience very bad side effects maybe your Doctor can put you onto something that will have the same healing but less risk? Everything in life is a personal choice, the best way forward is to get as much information on the drugs you are taking as possible and make sure the information is from a reputable source, eg. Medical Journals etc. I don't want to scare anyone into not taking Prednisone, personally for me it made me feel ill but we are all individuals and we all need to take responsiblity for our choices in life. So just make sure that whenever medication is prescribed to you that you research it first, and ask your Doctor about it he/she is there to help you get well, not make you feel worse.
