Misty, it sounds like your sons problems might be more the problem of doctors who didn’t know what they were doing than the prednisone. I was mentioning the many problems people on this board face, to our Ped Endo, and he said he couldn’t understand it since none of his patients have problems like that. I told him that his patients might not be an adequate sampling since not one of them had a bad doctor. He took the compliment humbly, but acknowledged that that would indeed make a significant difference.Danny Carlton
