Re: [MOL] Caregiver Burnout.



Vicki had an awful time coming off prednisone last year. Tapering off is good, if allowed. Discuss this with your physician and don't hesitate to ask for help from him/her when you stop the steroids.

Shiela:  I thought I heard someplace that you have to be tapered off of steriods.  Steriods have no middle area, they are great on one hand and horrible on the hand.  I believe that I read that if you just stop steroids you can go into a serious depression, does anyone else out there know if what I am saying is right?  Thanks, Lillian
