*sigh* Having had to start ANOTHER round of Prednizone last Friday, I'm back in 'seclusion' mode - not fit for man nor beast (nor any combination thereof.) But I wish I could, Shira
You haven't heard? I spend the first 3-5 hours laying on the living room floor twitching and shaking like a fish out of water. Oh, and sweating profusely, as well. THEN, I feel like I'm on the verge of a panic attack for the rest of the day - well into the night. I haven't spept more than 4 hours a day since I started this crap - and we're now entering the fourth week of it!
Believe it or not, I'm apparently getting off easy. I don't have any of the vomitting, migraine, etc. affects that could occur. It just plays havoc with my nervous system (which, in turn, is causing disturbance in my emotional state.)
Shira, shut up.
I'm dealing with a high dossage because it is arresting the outbreak while we wait for test results. I would NEVER agree to this if it were a long-term basis approach.
Of course, at this point, it's becoming a little too 'long-term' for my taste!
Yikes... DG, I had totally the same response to Prednisone. I was "hyper" sensitive to everything... that's when we moved to Seattle, and going through the crowded airport, taking care of Walter while my ex returned the car... I wound up giving the sky cap a $20 tip.

When the doc was warning me about potential side effects, he told me that the last person he gave this to they ended up calling the cops on because of a psychotic episode.
And I STILL said OK!
Alright, I admit it - I have few barriers when it comes to alteration - espeacially if it's supposed to HELP!
