Prednisone
I have been using Prednisone for 3 years now as part of a treatment for arthritis - how good is that?

Hi Pieter
This depends on the dose. Many Patients are on long term prednisone treatment and your situation is not unique, but should treatment be discontinued, care should be taken not to withdraw this medication suddenly.
