oh my,
cortisone is hard core medicine to be on. it can cause serious eye problems also.
look up central serrous retinopathy; it can be a result of cortisone use.
i'm sure you've googled prednisone, and as you say it is helping and you are less concerned about the side effects.
goodluck, emily

I was really happy to find your group! I have had this red, hot,
flushing, blistery, awful stuff on and off since I can remember.
Dermatologists, allergists, Doctors...been there-done that, just as
I am sure you all have.
I have accidently found something that does work for me. I took
Prednisone for inflammation one time, and noticed (thank goodness)
that my skin healed up rather quickly. The Doctor's didn't want to
prescribe it for me, and I am NOT going to try and live without
using it. They gave me all the blah-blah-blah about perhaps having
problems later on in life, but what about the quality of life NOW? I
read that alternate day therapy of this drug is accepted, but I use
it only when I see small signs popping up. (flushing, small
itchy "things") I buy this drug online now at MexMeds4you, get a
great price, it comes to my door, I get a phone number/customer
support, plus a reciept and it comes promptly. I have NEVER had a
problem with this company.
I don't know if any of you can benefit from this information, but I
take about 40 mg. for a few days, then taper to 20, then 10. Tanning
helps, too, but the Prednisone really does a job on it. Please look
this drug up and all side effects, before you decide to take it. I
have personally decided that the risk (as there is a risk with ANY
drug) is well worth it.
My prayers for us all who stuggle with this monster! And again,
please research this drug and decide carefully.- Sleep
