Char -

I have to agree with Holly. When my doc screwed me over (sorry, that's what he did) last May...I ended up on prednisone pills - highdose - and it was AWFUL. However, I only ended up on the pills b/c it was a holiday weekend and I couldn't get anything else b/c the doc waited too long. Anyhow - the doc on call for him wanted to get me the liquid to swallow. He said it would be icky - but I'd be done with it in 4 days and NOT have the same side effects of the pills.

Something for you to consider... I know I would have much rather had the liquid to swallow even though I have a very strong gag reflex. And actually, the pills were horrific to swallow, too.

Are you on a dose pack of the prednisone or just plain pills? What dosage?

oh Char... hang in there... you can do this, just keep your eye on the near future, when it will be over...

we'll hold your hands until it passes.

hope you feel better.

Its really upsetting to need a treatment, and not be able to afford it.
