Thanks for the kind words, Ladies...You are right...It's okay to mourne...I just felt bad if there are new people reading this and feeling worse because of my feelings lately...But I know that we are all in the same boat, and the symptoms are enough to make us all feel like crap from time-to-time, labels aside...

Kendra, how much prednisone are you taking? I'd definately ask about getting your blood sugar checked...I also get irritable from the prednisone too, and have noticed that my old nemesis, panic attacks (which I haven't had in years) come back every now in then...But they were much worse when I was at 80 mgs, not so bad now...

Another problem I have from the prednisone is insomnia...It's not quite insomnia because once I lay down, I fall right to sleep, but I feel like I can stay up for a very long time...I've been going to bed at like 6am everyday for the last couple of weeks...I think my poor sleep routine is contributing to feeling ill/depressed too...
