After a three day course of a lesser steroid, I made sure to be taken as joking when asking the doctor if he might prescribe a few more days just for fun.

I would have taken a renewal cheerfully, though....

He must be impossible to be around, acting like a spoiled brat, getting angry at the drop of a hat. If I was his doctor, I'd give him the drugs, too.

There's a reason we're weaned of prednisone, and this is much more powerful than that.

That means he should be tapering off in a few days.

I think he will badger his doctors for more.
