If there is any way that a person can get by without the prednizone I would do it. I am suffering the effects of 20+ years of being on prednizone. It has caused my diabetes and shut my adrenal glands down. Don't get me wrong there are times we don't have a choice I just wish that years ago I had done more research to make better informed decesions rather that just letting the doctors constantly up it and keep me on it. I am having a MAJOR lupus flair right now and so I am not up and on the computer much right now but keep in touch I will try and write back.
