Discussion: My attending physician prescribed me prednisone following severe inflammatory symptoms. I did feel a significant relief when I was taking the drug, but my condition worsened considerably when I stopped.

Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid hormone that mimics the action of the natural hormone cortisol, which is secreted when needed by the adrenal gland. The hormone prednisone suppresses the immune system's activity and thus contributes to improving the various inflammatory symptoms. Medicine makes extensive use of steroids in a wide variety of medical conditions. (Autoimmune diseases, cancer, transplant patients, COPD, and a wide range of inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune diseases.)

However, steroids have severe side effects from prolonged use. Most importantly - steroids do not cure autoimmune diseases! They only temporarily suppress the symptoms at the painful cost of sustained damage to the immune system.
