Prednisone .. Just Don't

4/4/2017

I hung up the phone after a family member called to ask, "What do you think of prednisone?"... My mind flooded with memories of years gone by, unknown sources of pain and maladies where doctors would say..."Here try this"... without actually knowing the cause or source of my many symptoms.  My skin with agonizing blisters oozing and crusting and spreading for weeks at a time with over 40% of my skin covered, no comfortable position for weeks.  It was at my lowest point I would give in and take the prescribed prednisone, and it would never change my outcome, only worsen the agony. 
I mean prednisone is a steroid...really?  And believe me I had the next layer of issues, instant weight gain, voice change, unbelievable memories played out...

Is my instinct that far off to think that as the doctors would surround me one episode after another they would prescribe prednisone for the unknown sickness and not be concerned for my future? Oh and  must not forget all the pain killers offered me as well. I would ask myself, what more can I learn and implement to break the debilitating cycle taking me always down and never up.

​I discovered Prednisone = Glucocorticoids = adrenocortical steroids ...in case you get a kick out reading the generic definitions.

​So, what I do think of prednisone?? Just Don't!! Don't start, don't continue, just don't go there.
I now understand that my organs & body systems were overwhelmed by environmental toxins from so many sources.  My body was screaming out for help through my skin, of course adding chemicals only made it worse and more challenging to find a balance. The balance that I still struggle to find over a decade later wading through ingredient lists, agriculture treatments on foods, water sources and more.

​My experience offers simple solutions, look to real food, real herbs, real not packaged,  real not synthetic, real not man made. You will find it is not a quick and convenient "fix" ..  real food takes time when you choose to make a lifestyle shift.
             REAL FOOD TAKES TIME: Time to acquire, Time to prepare, Time to nourish, Time to heal.
