😥 I've been prescribed Prednisone several times over the years, but always there was the warning that prolonged use would damage the liver, so I am very wary of it.
Several years ago when I was seriously infested with Poison Ivy, I was giving a bottle (not a dose pack) along with a script for Hydroxyzine (for itching, but I continue to use that PRN for sleep)
As soon as the inflammation from the P Ivy resolved, I stopped the prednisone, so I still have some if needed.
I had a 1st cousin die while I was in the military from Crohn's, I didn't know about it for years.
Confused :/ you said he IS an inspiration? but he is no longer living?
Yes. When I wrote that, I originally used "was," but the truth is, I still ask him what he would do or think about many things. Recently, I asked him if I should buy gold, and he clearly said "Mom, people die mining gold. Wars are fought over gold."

Ohhh I love this!
You hear his voice in your mind - who's to say it's not his voice?
And I love his insight.
People died for land, too; people had land taken from them by invaders and conquering armies; still, land may be worth more than gold.
Is there anything we can claim as our own in this life that does not cause us guilt or make us feel culpable....?
