Reason for me wanting to know, is I talked to my doc never wanting to get prednison as a treatment in crisis, since I've experienced prednisone psychosis at relatively low dosage, at least half of what people in crisis get.

However, no one can assure me it will not be given, since it is often the protocol where I live, and in live/death situations they just do it.
So, do you think there is time to let the docs know when you're in crisis, or is this not going to be possible.
