PP, Deb (Flowerchild) was on 20mg of prednisone and she was fine, and has little Imogen now, so don't panic! When it comes to me I have medical problems interacting in very strange ways and I need to watch that the treatment for one doesn't interfere with the treatment for another, which is what I believe was happening with the prednisone.

If it's any comfort - 20mg of prednisone isn't really a high dose in most circles of medicine. People can be on much higher doses without problems, usually when treating asthma (short term) or cancer (longer term), the doses are higher, usually 60mg or more. The 20mg works for most of Dr S's patients - I do always like to be different!
