WOW that was my worst workout in months! I pray to god that the pathetic excuse for a gym routine I just did was a result of prednisone, 3 days of drinking too much, TSA radiation, my period, an as-of-yet undetected stroke, or some other temporary state. I sucked on everything.
I'm not all torn up - I think the real issue is this medicine and i'm the first to say I feel WEIRD on it, but...wow. Wow I've worked out with sore parts and hangovers and still not sucked that bad. WOW.
I'm supposed to "step down" the doses by 1 pill a day - but I might just try to cut that in half or something. I want my me back right now.

Just make sure to wipe off the equipment after you use it. Nobody likes people leaving their periods on the seats.

If you're on Prednisone, I recommend tapering down in the prescribed fashion. When I did it for migraine relief, we cut it cold turkey on purpose -- not at all fun. A measured withdrawal is much better.

Yeah I got yelled at about this already in person...it seems this drug is actually important and dangerous. I am usually good about prescriptions etc. but this one was driving me nuts, but on further reflection and advice I'm going to step down as prescribed.
Grr though.
Advice appreciated.

Prednisone is the devil. Seriously it does horrible things to your body. I was on it for a week when I had MRSA and it was a nightmare. You probably don't want to mess with the doses as that is one medicine you need to follow to the letter otherwise it can just make you feel worse

Thanks - I'm hearing this all over. FINE I'm taking the stupid down-step doses, but yeah this BLOWS.

Hahah. Yeah it definitely blows. Hopefully it is doing whatever it is they wanted it to do for you. For me it proved to be useless as they thought I was having an allergic reaction to a spider bite as opposed to MRSA. So the week I was on it was pointless all around. Yay for mystery illnesses!

Prednisone is some nasty shit, I'm sure that had a lot to do with you not being 100%. Hopefully, you can get off it before you start putting on weight and getting a moon face.

Appreciated! You're not kidding about the moon face - this has really schooled me all over about how serious some little pills can be. Color me appreciating what I have more than ever...
