I am on my second episode in 4 years. This one has been since the beginning of Jan 99.
After 1/2 month of horror I was finally put on Prednisone. I appeared to work until one day.
At about 1PM a strted to get the worst of them all. It came fast and furious. Did not let
for one whole hour. Had to take 2 doses of lidocaine to get it away.
Unsure why it was so immense in intensitey. Know I am on only 20mg of Prednisone and
have one week left at 10mg. I am starting to get them again, but not like the 3-4 a day for
1-3 hours at a time.
