Prednisone is a very dangerous drug, I don't know all the specifics but it kills Proteins, knowing our body is 99.9 percent protein this isn't good, but I guess that is why it is so good for swelling, it eats the tissue right up...I had a step-aunt who had lupus who used Prednisone for years who died a couple years ago after numerous surgeries, and numerous drugs....It basically came back to the fact that the prednisone she used just ate her body up.

Opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one....My views and thoughts only,
Although I have personal experiences, I am not qualified.
