Hello Fellow Travelers!
My constant spinning comes part and parcel with a certain amount of constant pain. My head always hurts and my right hand/arm is painful and has been diagnosed with nerve damage or "neuropathy".
To address the neuropathy issue, my oncologist prescribed Prednisone.
My PS says the pain and "hamburger hand" sensation in my right arm are not real. It sure feels like ground meat that's not been refrigerated!
Maybe Prednisone is working because it's all I take, or maybe it's effective because I do so much gym work, who knows? Or cares? It's working - that's all I know.
Right now, today, Prednisone is helping me. I'm looking a lot better. I feel a lot better.
Does it still hurt? Oh, yeah! Is it important? Is it cancer? No. Then I really don't give a hoot!
Pain/schmain! Pain is a little like hunger - inconsequential.
How does Prednisone work? I'm glad you asked! Spoiler Alert: I'm about to get all medical! Prednisone just sort of "fixes" you. Its magic, like beanstalks or Disney furniture! It's kind of spooky, actually. The effects kick in at lightning speed. (I hope that explanation wasn't too dry! Despite a complete lack of balance I no longer tip over. My skin is regenerating itself. The muscle groups I've worked on for so long with no noticeable results are now visible and rapidly developing!
Do you know what happens when you finally see improvement? You want more improvement!
I feel stronger, faster lighter. I'll bend pain and hunger to my will, not the other way around.
Pain keeps me sharp! Keeps me focused! Pain can be managed.
Maybe that doctor/philosopher was right and "Pain does mean you're alive!"
Really? They let you actually say that? Unbelievable!

Post brain radiation may lower pituitary function, so prednisone may replace missing hormone function (ACTH on the adrenals), hmmmm...and prednisone quiets any inflammation or auto-immune process, regardless...
