Working / Worked
So far it's the only thing working directly. Been trying to get off of it, but 10mg i might as well not even be taking it, but 20mg seems to keep me working. When i first started taking it, 40mg a day, my hands almost looked normal again. swelling WAY down. but that is way too much steroids, and not good.
Working / Worked
major side effect is weight gain and emotional disturbances
