it has many side effects...one example is an email I received just the other day from another clusterhead...it read: "I would take a steroid regimen (Prednisone) for a month. It started out like 6 a day for 5 days, then 5 a day for 5 days, etc. Although it often would lessen the severity and sometimes, shorten my cycle, it took a toll on my body. After 8 years of doing that with cluters, I developed Avascular Necrosis and had to have my left hip replaced at 33 years old!" It may be great in taking away the clusters but just be aware that it does have lots of side effects...smiles,nancyc
