When I was in the Army I was given Prednisone for about 6
years and I was on it when I went to the nearest VA.
Hospital and taken off by the Doctor who seen me at the
time. I was given 40mg a day for about 6 years. I took 20mg
in the morning and 20mg at night. I was told by the Army
doctor that was a Major at the time. His name Lum, as I
recall told me that the Prednisone would help me right then
while in the service, but it would effect me later in life
from its site affects and the one thing me made known and
stressed was the joints would be effected. And how right he
was, today the pain is so bad, I can't tell no one the full
effects it has taken on me. I have my medical records where
it showed I was given high dosage of this med. and others.
it was suppose to help my breathing, I am a COPD person and
seen by the Va. medical staff at the hospital in Jackson,
Ms. I hope there is a class action suit on the behalf of
all who has taken this drug it is no way to get people to
see what it has done to others for the joint pain I was
told would come had to be known way back for it was in the
1980-1987 I took this it in the Army, it help me as I took
it trusting those who told me what was known about it at
that time, but it is nothing good from its site effects.
