I just started taking Prednisone 20mg (2/day) for 7 days.
I had a Goiter (enlarged thyroid) and was misdiagnosed for 10 years with (chronic sinusitis) and acid re-flux.... 10 years I suffered and struggled to maintain a quality of life. I had forgotten what it was like to be normal. Today I woke up and I FELL AMAZING there are no words to describe it. I am 31 but feel like i was 18, the disease (we thing Graves) has been effecting me since my early 20's.

Stopped by here doing my research, I am sad that i can't take this for the rest of my life. I'm affraid to go back to the living hell I was trapped in. Now that I know what i have been missing.

I have so far experienced no side effects, I feel motivated, I am physically stronger, my mind is focused, my headaches and swollen thyroid are gone.

I am also on a beta blocker Propranolol which completely stabilized my heart palpitations and tachycardia caused by the hyperthyroidism.

If i only have 7 days left to live I guess im going to make the best of it, before returning to HELL.

I hope the doc can find and alternative, I want to feel this way for the rest of my life.. I fear that remember what it was like to be normal, to have energy and focus, I might get depressed if I go back to the way I was.
