    Hi, how are you now, i was on 40mg for 3 days and 30 mg for next 3 days, that was it, now its been almost 4 weeks and i am still facing light sensitivity which is the beggest problem along with vision issues and shkiness and weakness. Are you okay now and if yes can you please tell me how much time it took you to be normal again.

    Hi Lisa,

    I was put on prednisone for 12 days, after my last dose, it took me 

     about 3 weeks to get better, during these 3 weeks I spend 10-15 minutes

     in the sauna every day to stimulate prednisone through the skin, it works for me but

     I do not know if it works for others, so you guys can try.
