Prednisolone can make some people (like me) feel low, although some people get the opposite reaction. I do hope your BuTrans patches work.

I don't know this medication but do use the bu-tans patches but still not sure whether they are helping or not What concerns me is the amount of medication you say you are taking. Perhaps you could ask your doctor for a review...he/she can't make you take any you don't want to Sometimes, because a doctor doesn't know what to say/do it is easier just to reach for the prescription pad. Hope things begin to feel a bit brighter for you soon

All I can say is I feel sorry for you, The meds will make you feel horrible, that is part of the trade off to pain, especially if you have an immunosuppresive condition , Just take it easy and do not overdoe it try and relax.

So sorry to hear how low you feel. It's a lonely place even with loved ones around you. Sending good thoughts out to you and hoping you will soon feel better. God Bless.
