Superman has a lengthy list of physical capabilities far beyond that of mortal man. Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive.

You get the idea, right?

Prednisone can make one feel a bit like Superman. Or, the Hulk. In other words, powerful. I started on a two month run of prednisone and in two weeks I was cured of every ailment on my list.

Prednisone is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems, severe allergies, skin diseases, cancer, eye problems, and immune system disorders. Prednisone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It decreases your immune system’s response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions

Except for the aforementioned fatigue, labored breathing, abdominal fasciculations, etc; all of which started this journey, prednisone was the best medicine I had ever used.

Decades of muscle soreness, joint pain, and the other ailments that getting old bring to a body mostly disappeared with a hefty dose of prednisone.

It just didn’t fix the problem. Cheap, though.
