Default inflammation

Can anyone explain to me how inflammation is related to the big picture of PCS? The neurologist put me on prednizone and while taking it I'm about 90%symptom free. It's like a window into being normal again. When off it, I'm a complete wreck.

Is inflammation causing all of these PCS issues? I thought it was something more sinister like axon tearing.

Isn't inflammation supposed to be the body's natural way of healing? Is it right to take that away or will I stall healing to keep fighting it?

I thought taking inflammation away would stall healing, but then why do I feel so well when it's gone?

HOpe these are not dumb questions. I need to understand the logic of what I'm doing and the loops aren't connecting. Thanks.
