Prednisone blues.

While takeing Prednisone, I could eat a bit of pureed food. I was somewhat pain free, my ear and tonsil didn't hurt. No stabbing pain. Well they came back. I am miserable to the point of having to use Ibuprofen. It's like I lost two weeks of recovery.

The moonface is not a good look.

like Percocet or oramorph. That's what they are made for. Why suffer?

Best regards to you.

There must be something they can do. You've been making such good progress...seems awful that you'd have to go backward.
