I was diagnosed with this really big word today, but basically the cartilage holding my sternum and ribs is inflamed, causing heart attack like pains. So the doctor prescribed me prednisone. I was told to take 3 20 ml pills all at once, once a day, for 5 days. Since I took them earlier I have been a mess. I'm over heating, my stomach is knots, I'm crying and pissed and depressed all at the same time, nauseated. Should I just get the dosage lowered or just stop taking it? It's already caused a small panic attack.
