Any others have this experience?

This is my first post on this site. Recently I also, had a similar experience to Ann. I also, took prednisone (sold in Australia as prednisolone), for a skin (dermatitis) rash. In addition to this for the last 2.5 - 3 years I have also been taking Turmeric and black pepper. I found when I took prednisone 50mg on an empty stomach along with Turmeric and black pepper that, my PD symptoms improved after the second dose i.e. I could walk, talk and I and I had more energy. I tried this on three separate occasions, with the same results. I only took prednisone for two days each time. When I stopped taking prednisone my PD symptoms returned.
