It's so good to see you posting again, Chris. We sure missed you and are very happy you're feeling better.
Prednisone is no stranger to me, either. For a period of time I seemed to be a frequent flyer in the ER for exacerbations. Each time I was given an IV steroid for several days, followed by a regimen of prednisone. I didn't take it any longer than necessary, but when I needed it, it was the only thing that worked. I do think you can develop a resistence to it - another reason to be cautious about its use. However, for me it's a great drug when needed.
