Prednisone. It can help do amazing things for a person who needs rapid healing, and is used all over the planet in easing pain and physical ailments. I have used it to put myself back into Crohn's remission n the past, and it looks as though I am headed the same direction now. I couldn't be happier.
But this healing and the happiness of the end result comes at a price.
I am completely, and undeniably insane.
The dosage of steroids that I am taking is 30mgs. This is a far lower dose than other people are typically offered at the start of an attempt to ease of flare of Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis. I've started higher myself. My physical healing has been taking longer, which was very painful in earlier months, but my levels of rage and irrational behavior haven't been as horrifying as they were when I was on higher dosing.
Until recently.
I find myself becoming extremely angry and saying things that I wouldn't have otherwise. Snapping at friends and family sucks. I'm a Cancer, totes emotional when the timing is wrong- always- and that's been bad enough... but now I'm having outbursts.
Yikes. You won't like me when I'm angry.
