Since my fall 16 weeks ago, I've had 2 - 6 day courses of prednisone for an all over itchy rash (that I've had for 10 weeks now!) and during those 2 courses I felt better. My headaches seemed not quite as severe and I had way more energy and I felt a little more "with it".

I honestly wish I could stay on it for longer periods of time, it was... nice But I understand why that's not possible.

Now if I could just get rid of this rash, that would be a huge relief!

Natural anti-inflammatories include vegan diet, omega-3s, flaxseed, algal DHA & EPA. I experienced significant improvement in both my PCS symptoms and my piriformis syndrome after starting these therapies. My blood tests did show elevated inflammation at the outset; I'm curious to see my results after a few months.

I must say this has been a very interesting post. Thank you freezerdoor. This is a new idea in "last resort" folder. I file away some last resort ideas for when I've had enough. I'm at 10 months. I'm giving myself at least a year before I start trying some meds although I seriously hope to avoid them at all cost.
Freezerdoor along with your headaches have you had a lot of dizziness?
