sometimes it works but you've just been given the wrong dosage, they usually start off with 12 then 11 then 10 etc but watch out if you think, hey this works! because when you get to about 6 they seem to be pretty useless. Make sure you go back straight away if this happens and you've had some luck in the higher dosage Prednis could be for you but you just need to take maybe 12 for 3 days, 11 for 3 days instead of weaning off so quickly. I reckon it's all trial and error with these flippin things......side effects seem to be all sorts, weight gain and sweating the main ones though with Prednis by the way.
Good Luck
