"Having AS and osteoarthritis since childhood and now 52 years of age, I have tried just about anything, and prednisone not only relieves the pain, but my whole body feels more flexible, and I find I have more energy. I was on it while awaiting a knee replacement, but was pulled off it. Went through the roof. Went back on until my rheumatologist weaned me off in preparation for the knee surgery. But what I cannot get through to the doctors is I'd rather have the best life I can, be it long or short. I want to live, and prednisone gives me that. I have reached the stage where if they will not prescribe it, I'll buy it on the net, but life is too short to live it in unbearable pain."

"I have a long list of autoimmune disorders, chronic migraines, neuropathy, stenosis, sciatica, 6 bulging discs, and more. My back flares up so bad I can't walk at all. I love this medication because within a few days I feel normal again, but I've gained 15 pounds now in 5 days, and I'm not even eating. The weight gain is horrible. Otherwise, I highly recommend it."

"Fontein, I totally agree with you. The prednisone takes away the pain immediately. Just a damn shame of the side effects... I gained 50 lbs in a month. They were to try this Celebrex, but on day 3, no relief, and I refuse injections. I prefer a pill. It sucks that people in this world abuse opiates because they helped also. What else are you on for the pain?"
