Hey Honey! I am so glad that you got your job back. They cannot fire you for being sick! you need to know that. That prob. would have been a fat lawsuit. Anyway, it sucks that your on 80mg of pred. you have to go through it all over again. When I was sick with a sinus infection and a bronchitus infection the prednisone actually helps that. The prednisone is also given to people with bronchitus infections. The cold will go away eventually. Are you still with your boyfriend?? Well I hope you get better soon! You have to try to rest.   I just got off my prednisone on Sunday, im a lil sick but not too bad. Hopefully I wont have to go back on it. I will talk to you soon hun .. keep in touch! feel better
