...but if, indeed, we are dealing with a fatigued system from years of see-sawing between inflammation and natural steroids, then it is easy to believe that the initial effect of the concentrated "store-bought" steroids overwhelmed everything else for a few days until the system collapsed into extreme fatigue. In my own recent bout with mega-stress, there were two occasions when I found myself curled up on the floor too weak to crawl.
Anybody know about "adrenal fatigue"? I've just heard the term but it might shed some light.

By the way, the doctor said I did not have to titrate down slowly because five days is too short a period of time to demand that.
Any others have this experience?
