As far as my symptoms, I noticed an improvement each and every day.  The symptoms were much less intense and gradually faded away.  The Prednisone did the trick for me.

The days after the last pill was taken, however, were trying.  Then I experienced agitation and great fatigue.  I was no longer super woman and I felt every year of my age.  This lasted a few days and then I felt more normal. 

 

I would not want to be on the oral Prednisone for long periods of time but for a limited duration to help ease a bad exacerbation, sure, it worked great for me.

I am very curious to hear about your individual stories of taking the oral Prednisone.  Did it help?  What side effects did you experience?
