Have been nursing a severe sore throat with hacking cough.
I have been on a antibiotic "Z" pack the last 4 days (one more to go).
Have had an antibiotic shot yesterday and this morning with a third scheduled for tomorrow. I also had a steroid injection the day of the first anti biotic shot.

And lastly a Rx for prednisone 10mg (3-3-3-2-2-2-1-1-1/day).

Significant improvements. The sore throat is gone. The menacing hacking what ever is in the throat with sinus drainage remain...all better than a couple of days ago.

I am hesitant about taking the prednisone as the side effects probability is high (30+%). I am one who is easily affected by side affects. The predisone top issues headaches, the jitters and hard to sleep at night.

So this long medical litany is to seek any experience anybody has had with taking similar prednisone Rx.
I know everybody is different and all that. I am just looking for how differing folks have tolerated or not the prednisone routine.
And there is a big difference in short term use (like this one) VS long time users.

Thanks.
