Huge hormonal surge of panic and negativity with sudden energy that increases over days. Taste will be affected. Bring Werthers. DO NOT STOP SMOKING OR USING WEED IF YOU NORMALLY USE IT, YOU WILL NEED IT TO BALANCE THE CRAZY-MAKING EFFECTS OF THE STEROID.

Advice & Tips
Besides the times of my exacerbations I have been getting a "theraputc" dose before I go on extended vacations. In 2010 I traveled to London and Ireland and this June I went to Rome, Venice and back to Ireland where I end up doing a lot of walking. The positive side effect of the emergy boost and reduction in inflamation helps with long days.
