Summary: A must Read
Comment: I have ITP....a blood platelet disorder and am on steroids. Steroids do many strange things to the body. This book was an unbelieveable mirror of my side effects on and coming off Prednisone. I found myself talking to the book saying right on, you got it, and thank you for acknowledging my pains.
I can't speak for everyone, because everyone experiences different things with this steroid, but, I can tell you that the information will not hurt you and most of all the message that all this is temporary and can be beaten with some coping skills will make live on Prednisone far better. I've read chapters of this book 4 times to keep reminded of my plight...I am a chronic ITP patient.

Summary: The Bible of Prednisone
Comment: My husband was put on massive doses of prednisone without being told what side effects or consequences the drug would bring. The doctors who prescribed the medicine didn't even know what to expect. My husband had horrible side effects. Finding this book was a life saver for it verified and explained every symptom my husband experienced. We no longer felt alone, someone else knew and described what he was and would be going through. We are thankful this book was written for it gave us laymen knowledge of this horrific/wonder drug, and how we should handle the side effects. Needless to say we immediately sent a copy to his doctor as well. If you are on even the smallest doses of pred. this book is a must read.

Summary: For long term pred users, this book is a MUST
Comment: I was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura this past year, and am going through my second round with pred. This book is a must have for those of us faced with daily doses of this drug, and who face months, if not years, on it at a time. When I first was placed on .5mg/pound daily, I thought I was losing my mind. Nope, it was just the pred. Thank gosh for this book, I thought I was going to have to be committed to a nut hut. Not only does this book tell you the "NORMAL" side effects, it tells you how to deal with the side effects, and if a side effect is hard to deal with (like insomnia) the author tells you the best times to take your pred, and other hints to help gear the pred around your life. NOT having the pred dosage run your life.
This is also a book to have for the family of pred users, I am going to have my husband read it next, because it gives an accurate description of what one person feels on pred, it can help others who are close to the pred user also.
