For Inflammatory Conditions "I have a long history of osteoarthritis, it frequently becomes inflamed, causing a lot of pain. My Dr. will only prescribe prednisone 3 times per year, apparently, prednisone over time quickens and makes the arthritis worse! When I take it, I could jump through hoops, they are fantastic! Take 6 x 5 mg tablets per day for 5 days."

For Dermatitis "To me, prednisolone is a wonderful drug. It helps me to solve several of my illnesses. First, it strangely resolves my finger dermatitis problem on my hands. Before, my skin got cracked and bloody, I would feel my fingers had rashes that were swollen, painful, and itchy at the same time. I took prednisolone tablets regularly for about six months, starting with 3 x 5 mg daily down to 3 mg daily. Then after that, just take 3 to 4 mg as and when needed now. It has stopped 99% of the problem."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I have a mucus problem for 20 years. And I am taking prednisolone since 2 months. It is only effective when you are taking it. If you miss the dose, the problem may come back. It may have some serious side effects like: - Erectile dysfunction - Back pain - Pain in the liver in between 1.5-inch diameter - Swelling - Sometimes CNS failure when you are running on sprint and get pain in the thigh - Fatigue very fast - When you start taking it... mood swings and anger - Oily face - Pimples and acne over your forehead - Less sleep, only 5 hrs. After that, you may automatically wake up. Conclusion: - Have a lot of side effects, but it is the only medication I found in 20 years from running from doctor to doctor, which is effective. It has to be taken with diethylcarbamazine, betamethasone, aceclofenac, and paracetamol may give better results. I have a spitting phlegm problem for 20 years, and every 5 min I spit. I got this because I had pneumonia when I was a child. I hope this may help a lot."
