Bathroom Monologue: Prednisone, the little pill that ruined everything

Prednisone is a steroid that is frequently used on inflammatory diseases, which becomes quite ironic if you get one of its major side-effects: heavy swelling. Other major side-effects are extreme joint pain, increased likelihood of infections, insomnia, trouble thinking straight, osteoperosis, peptic ulcers and cataracts. A minor side-effect is nervousness. Is this hilarious to anyone else?

  1. Yeah, they tried me on prednisone for awhile. Good times, in that "not really" kind of way.
