I have been hurting so bad these past few days that it was making me feel like I would pass out. I found some prednisone in my drawer and took one 5mg pill this morning and now I am like a new person. Pain free, clearheaded, normal energy. What a huge difference this one med makes for me!

That is so strange to me. I've never known prednizone to work
that way or that fast. I wonder what your body chemicals is
missing, that Pred. fulfills?

That's the way the doctors react about the prednisone too. I swear I go from agony to well in about 2 hours after taking one 10 mg pill. And it fixes all of it-the pain, the fogginess, the total exhaustion. My primary said once that doctors believe some people run low on cortisol but there is no way to test for it and I am probably one of them. Sadly I was only able to find four 5mg pills so today I took 1/2 of one so I am only about 75%.
I really wish I could have the time to adjust to the gabapentin but I really couldn't take the pain and feeling loopy at work all day.
What I really wish is to know what is so wrong with me.

I get it now. Thank you.
