Prednisone isn't a drug anybody would take for fun. You must be weaned off it slowly to avoid Addison's disease, which can be fatal.

My husband had to take this drug and the side effects are really unpleasant. He hated it so much that he was going to just stop taking it until I informed him that would be very risky. Hopefully he will remain in remission for awhile and not need to take it again soon.
