"I had severe neck pain diagnosed as Degenerative Disc Disease. My doctor's PA prescribed a "Steroid Pack" (I don't recall the brand name) and some Oxycodone that I asked for. The Steroid Pack worked practically instantly; and even though I got the Oxycodone script filled at the same time, I did not have to take even one! The steroid pack was a decreasing dosage that lasted about a week and worked great."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I am a 34 year old female with generally good health. Out of no where I started having severe sciatic pain. It became very difficult to just walk around my house due to the pain. I would only get relief from the pain if I would sit or lay down. It eventually got so bad I wasn’t able to lay on my bed or sit without pain anymore. I ended up in the emergancy department where they told me I had 3 bulging discs (1 possibly herniated) from a CT scan. They gave me a steroid and pain medication through an IV and prescribed me this pack to take at home. It worked wonderfully for me! I was finally pain free after about 2 months of pain. The numbness hasn’t gone away. About a week after I finished the pack the leg pain returned but it is minimal. And although I can’t walk perfectly it is much better. Thankfully I did not have any side effects from the medication. Now I am able to do the PT exercises and I continue to make progress."

For Gout, Acute "At the time I took the first dose, I could barely walk. The first evening I slept without pain. Within 36 hours, I had recovered 95% range of movement with no pain & walked 3 miles. I did not notice any side effects."

For Gout, Acute "I just started with gout a year ago, and took no meds aside from OTC. Nearly shut my life down. I had a bad one last month that is still ongoing. Diet changes, everything but this cycle from was from toe to thumb to ankle. I went to urgent care when I thought my ankle would burst. I was on prednisone. It worked well, but when it wears off...I went to ER and got methylprednisone. I just finished two-day cycles and was 95% better, but I woke up with the cycle restarting in my big toe. not as bad, but it's definitely there. I'll continue the dosage and hope it clears."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I was reluctant to take it for my severe allergies. I am so glad that I took it. It helped my allergies by the second day but an unexpected bonus was it fully took away my chronic pain. It was the first time that I woke.up without any pain. I also had a lot of energy. I got so much done!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "TBH I don’t really know why my ENT prescribed me this stuff, he just said “I think I know what your problem is and this should help.” Guess I should’ve probed him for some more information. Side affects have been nuts though. I can actually breathe, but I worked out by going to cycling which I usually do weekly... half way through the workout I wanted to DIE. I was sore as hell, and when I got home to try and sleep I couldn’t because I was in so much pain, I do think it has added to my, already there insomnia, too. It does make me a bit irritable, but the crazier side affect has been my mega increased libido. Craziness."

For Gout, Acute "5yrs ago I started belching 24-7, belly felt so full to gas pains in my back, my knee then swelled up, bottom of my back killing me, then both feet got lil pockets under the skin and underneath of my big toes(both feet) and lil toes to my wrists aching into arms, then ankles started hurting. It was a feeling I never had before. The tops of my feet burning so bad which I put ice on them. I could not walk!I feel so bad for people with gout because I know what it feels like and healthy as I have been until I got gout. I was 39, jogging 10 miles a day, pushing grandson 2 weeks old in a jogger which he has never left!. My doctor test me and gout I had. Prednisone works wonders,i t was an hour and 15 mins and the swelling was gone in feet, everywhere, the pockets of crystals gone. It's been almost 5 yrs today and 2nd outbreak and I'm headed to get Prednisone.This time is worse than my very first time but eating and drinking right is why I have only had 2 outbreaks! This 1 hit fast too fast."

For Gout, Acute "This medicine is helpful when gout attacks occur. I am still looking for something to keep gout at bay. Taking allopurinol is not keeping it away for good. This medicine gives quick relief, but it still returns to feet, toes, and top of foot. I have not noticed any side effects. My doctor prescribed it to keep the meds on hand, and at the first sign of flare-up, start taking the meds."

"After 3 weeks of constant pain down my right leg, physical therapy twice a week, and taking 300 mg of gabapentin and 2 mg of Tizanidine; my niece told me to try the dose pack. I took 2 tablets (4 mg) after breakfast, and within 2 hours NO PAIN!!! I did have a constant headache all day yesterday, but Tylenol helped. I was able to sit without shooting pains. I could do my PT exercises without pain. Pain returned, but not nearly as bad as it had been. Only bad side effects were insomnia all night, thirst, headache, and antsy legs. Hoping tonight goes better. But I would rather go without the pain, and miss some sleep."

"I was prescribed this medication for a severe cold. My nose was running very constantly and I had a productive cough with my eyes watering. As a heart failure patient with insulin-dependent diabetes, I don't like to take steroids. However, I was so miserable that I read the side effects thoroughly, which scared the bejeebies out of me. I'm glad to report that I had none of those side effects. It did take the full 6 days. On the night of the 5th dose, I got tremendous relief of symptoms. I still have a mild nonproductive cough. I consider this a miracle drug and will not hesitate to take it in the future."
