Joanie, take the steroids. One of my kids was prescribed them when she had glandular fever, mono, she remained skinny and did not develop muscles. Take them so that you can start to feel better and regain your health. It will soon be your Summer, so hang in there - and take the drugs prescribed for you.

Joanie............prednisone is a corticosteroid, has no impact on shrinking a **bleep**, putting on muscle, or creating "roid rage".

I've been taking 10mg a day for 27 years now, and as I mentioned in another thread, I'm nerfectly pormal........

[raptor_rebooted]

make sure you follow instructions.

these types of meds should usually

be taken with food.

Joanie,

I've had prednisone ie steriod, for asthma mulitple times.

Your lungs / throat will start to clear in a few hours and you will be slowly taken off them over about 10 days

 please take them.

You're only going to get worse if you dont, and will definitely get better if you do

Joanie, in order to do tests on you, you had to have been taken in. And in order to have gotten a prescription for steroids, a doctor or nurse practitioner would have had to be consulted. Which means they would have given you a diagnosis for whatever it is that is ailing you. So what did they tell you was going on with you? What was your actual diagnosis?

broncotis

You really do need to take your medicine, to clear it up
before it gets worse.

[justpolls]

awww, that sucks. At least it's not pneumonia.

Were you able to fill out that prescription?

bronchitis can become pneumonia, which is what I was hinting at in my post about "gets worse".
