The prednisone is now a thing of the past! I can't tell you how grateful I am that I done with that stuff! Yes, I am grateful that it has kept me alive for so long until my body decided to wake up and function on its own again. But I am so grateful that now I can start dealing with these nasty side effects and make progress. No more mood swings, weight gain, sore joints, and all that has come with this drug.
It's quite a sobering thought that I would not be alive without this drug. I am grateful for modern medicine and what it has done for me. Because of that, I will accept what it has done to me.
