You have the same chance of being alive in ten years after being diagnosed with lung, breast , pancreatic or other cancers whether or not you get chemotherapy.
Doctors told me that I had a chemical imbalance and that I needed antidepressants to balance my neurotransmitters. I now know that these drugs cause rather than cure chemical imbalances nd that they actually destroy the brain cells they hyperstimulate, resulting in a permanant reduction in receptors and deficiencies in neurotransmitters such as dopamine.
Prednisone makes people feel better initially but that does not mean it's good for you.Like smoking, the best thing that can happen to someone that takes prednisone is that their health is not ruined . It doesn't cure anything.It may reduce inflamation short term but it usually returns and is worse than before You should do some research and consider the possibility that your hormone replacement is the main cause of your health problems and not the cure. I know people who trace serious health problems such as arthritis ,life threatening infections,to use of lose dose cortisone cream for skin rashes.
The Physicians Desk Reference is put out by the pharmaceutical industry so it is slanted toward hyping the positive effects of drugs and minimising the risks,yet it lists hundreds of hazards of prednisone.Shirley's wellness cafe is also a good alternative health site and has alot of information on prednisone.
If I hear a doctor say he wants to give me some pills to balance my hormones I'm out of there.
