So I wrote a lengthy reply and then just deleted because I rambled. I guess even with the extra info, I'm not sure if I should be taking the prednisone. I don't want to just mask issues. I want to heal.

BTW, about glutemate. MSG is some nasty stuff and I don't touch it. I wish everyone knew about it. It gave me stroke-like migraines in my 20s and 30s. I haven't had it in over a year and have been completely headache free. Until now with the concussion of course...
