Prednisone is used for many conditions like allergic response gone awry, antiinflammatory in pain injections into joints etc. There are people who swear by it, however my response to the injections was a feeling of being beaten about the injection site and no appreciable relief obtained. Orally ingested it causes me to be extremely hyper, without sleep for the days of treatment, with a feeling of well being tinged with mania, and has halted reactions to poison oak that had been ongoing for more than a month or two. It is a last resort kind of med in my mind though others feel differently. Tumeric is a potent and effective antiinflammatory. Dr.Perricone's book, intended to keep skin looking good, admits that many disease states and bad skin and arthritis are inflammatory responses. He talks of salmon and other antiinflammatory foods. Worth a look see to determine if for you. There are cases in which prednisone is a life-saver..around breathing emergencies esp. Used to be chronic lung patients would have iv prednisone routinely.....every four hours or six, and those people would be waiting for the next dose. It has cumulative effects which include thinning of the skin and messing with renal function etc., so like everything, it has a place in the arsenal, as does arsenic......It has a rebound effect, many things are worse for a bit when the stuff wears off, which is what initially hooks some people. Hope this was a little helpful.....mindy
