I am going to put this link up again here.

It concerns long term pred use and what happens to your body, written by a helpful doctor:

http://www.gihealth.com/html/educati...rednisone.html

Prednisone is highly destructive to your metabolism. Changing diet away from junk food, sugars, and simple starches is essential to feeling better. Choose whole foods, high in potassium and magnesium to feel stronger. Adequate protein, keeps your blood sugar lower and you will have less spikes and fatigue.

Use this handy guide to choose foods low in inflammatory index, high in electrolytes, and protein.

Your doctor is not going to do this for YOU. You have to take control and do it for yourself. Get into some good habits and that will give you extra strength and energy to cope with the other long term factors of your MG.

Predisone is highly depleting of many nutrients. If you have a smart phone there is a new app for nutrient depletions available now for $1.99...

or an abbreviated version from the textbook by Ross and Pelton:
