Pred (Prednisolone) is a steroid drug and has been used over the years in IV, tablet and injection form for all of my conditions. It can be a wonderful thing, and has often helped me greatly, but the downside is the awful side effects that come with it.
When I started planning this post it was going to be a list and informative. Then it got a name and that name reminded me of one of my favourite films. So then it became a poem, and a bit of fun!
Please excuse my poor attempt at poetry but hopefully it makes you smile, especially if you are on, or have been on it, and can understand where I am coming from!
I hate the way you make me eat, and put on so much weight
I hate the way you make me sad, sometimes I’m in such a state
I hate the way you make me sweat, especially at night
I hate the fact that I can’t sleep, though I try with all my might
I hate the way you make me rage, especially when I don’t mean it
I hate the fact you’re thinning my bones, another problem. I don’t need it!
I hate the fact you hurt my stomach, more tablets needed to help that
I hate my new found double chin and my hamster cheeks so fat
I hate the way you make my heart race, and I panic all the time
And lastly I hate how my mind won’t shut down, it’s even made me rhyme!
