Beginning my 3rd day on 15mgs. Yesterday was the first time in a couple of months that I had any energy at all or stayed awake the whole day. Friend tells me it is "prednisone euphoria". I'll take it! Will talk to the pharmacist today about the supplements, vitamins etc that I had been taking and have stopped now so that I can rest the prednisone.
As always, thanks for the informed support around here.

Don't go rushing around because of the "pred euphoria"! Something by the way I have never experienced and am fed up with people telling that that is why I feel well! You feel well because you don't hurt and can move.
