Prednisone Long-Term Side Effects

“You just become a walking chemical factory with side effects! It’s like a big war zone in your body.”

That’s what Prednisone Warrior Marlene said about all the drugs she has to take… one to treat her condition, and others to treat the side effects!

In my brand new interview with her, Marlene shares advice from over 30 years stuck on prednisone.

– her wisdom about how to become your own advocate
– dealing with family while on prednisone
– realizations about how to come to peace with the fact that prednisone causes mood changes
– how she felt “hogtied” but now no longer does
– going from “bawling in my doctor’s office” to feeling self-motivated and proactive in her life
