Prednisone. That will cure anything. I’ve had serious neck problems for about a year from an accident. I broke my upper jawbone and my neck. I’ve got titanium in my face now. The fractures when through my sinuses so I’ve had chronic sinus problems now. 2 weeks ago I decided to go to a specialist and they gave me prednisone and physical therapy. I’m not sure how much good the physical therapy is, BUT THAT PREDNISONE IS A DAM CURE ALL! It cured my neck, it cured my sinuses. It even cured my bad hip(almost) and my bad knee(almost) and all my stiff joints. The only problem with it is it causes insomnia and makes me have to pee all the time. Oh, yeah, also it makes you gain weight like crazy. I think I gained 15 pounds in the week I was on it. If I had to take it for a few months...OH MY, ID BE HUGE. I’ve been off of it now for almost a week and so far none of my problems have come back. My neck isn’t perfect, but I’m still doing my excercises and it’s still getting a little bit better every day.
I’m a big believer in prednisone
The first day I was on it, I felt so good I couldn’t sit still. I was up half the night doing pushups and situps and I went down to the basement and dug out some of the old weight and started lifting weights. And my mind was in some kind of time machine. I was having vivid flashbacks of youthfull memories. I was remembering my first car, cruising the strip, the old radio in my car, the smell of a freshly waxed hotrod running overly rich with glasspacks, the smell of my first serious girlfriend...it was WILD.
It is a really freaky drug.
Oh man.. it can have some nasty side effects though. A friend of mine takes that, and his skin looks like crepe paper, and the slightest bump he bruises and begins to bleed thru his skin.
At a high dose, Deltasone may cause fluid retention and high blood pressure. If this happens, you may need a low-salt diet and a potassium supplement.
With prolonged Deltasone treatment, eye problems may develop (e.g. a viral or fungal eye infection, cataracts, or glaucoma).
If you take Deltasone over the long term, the buildup of adrenal hormones in your body may cause a condition called Cushing's syndrome, marked by weight gain, a "moon-faced" appearance, thin, fragile skin, muscle weakness, brittle bones, and purplish stripe marks on the skin. Women are more vulnerable to this problem than men. Alternate-day therapy may help prevent its development.
Other potential side effects from prednisone include:
Bone fractures, bruising, bulging eyes, congestive heart failure, convulsions, distended abdomen, face redness, glaucoma, headache, hives and other allergic-type reactions, increased pressure inside eyes or skull, inflamed esophagus or pancreas, irregular menstrual periods, muscle weakness or disease, osteoporosis, peptic ulcer, poor healing of wounds, stunted growth (in children), sweating, thin, fragile skin, vertigo
I’ve used it on occasion for bad allergic reactions. I have to when I get stung.
It does leave on wired, but what the goal was for you was to allow your body to heal.
Inflamed tissue does not heal. By reducing the inflammation, your body had the opportunity to heal itself. That’s why the symptoms never came back.
