Here's a link to the company that did your skin biopsy (I'm pretty sure you said Therapath did it). Read the last paragraph about Prednisone and acute onset (which is what happened to you).

It's about as logical as it can get...if the cause is inflammation, then steroids will likely help. Have you had a CRP or ESR lab done to check for inflammation?
