Prednisone blues. [View all]

While takeing Prednisone, I could eat a bit of pureed food. I was somewhat pain free, my ear and tonsil didn't hurt. No stabbing pain. Well they came back. I am miserable to the point of having to use Ibuprofen. It's like I lost two weeks of recovery.

The moonface is not a good look.
