I don't know how all my problems relate, or if I can even remember them all. A few of them include:

Although better now, years of migraines and headaches.
Ulcerative Colitis
Depression
Chronic big-time fatigue
Total brainfog

My doc knows I just won't do a short burst and taper of prednisone! I hate that stuff. But then, several times it saved my life during major flares of the ulcerative colitis. That stuff is a lifesaver, but does major havoc to your mind and body, most especially when tapering off.

The first time I was on it was for almost a year! That was 30 years ago with my first major UC flare. As soon as I'd taper down to a couple of milligrams, the UC would start to flare again. Took me a long time to get off it.

I don't remember getting sick though. It could be attributable to other things.
