He will have to be tapered off the steroids and go onto a different treatment. You do not state what form of Arthritis, but their are many other more drugs with less side affects.

A few simple facts why the "other" people got more Harsh punishments: All of these guys either cheated or had multiple run ins with the law, and if your so bent on thinking he has a double standard, remember this: each incident is treated and handled differently, you cant set strict guidelines for offenses because each one is different, and here are each of the players cases you mentioned: Tamk Johnson: Multiple run ins with the law, spending time in jail and violating his probation: 8 games Pacman Jones:....where do I begin? Lets just state the Las Vegas shooting incident. Michael Vick: Will all know the story already. R. Williams: Let's just say his hands are always filled with "green" and not money. Domonic Rhodes: Violated theleagues Substance Abuse policy with Steriods. Just to make your point even more invalid, Wade Wilson, assistant head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who is WHITE, was suspended for 5 games for using HGH, a banned susbtance. Belichick had no control over the video tape, he wasn't the one using it. Yeah I know youll say he's the head coach and should watch over it, but think about it, do you know how many people work for a head coach? So in reality, no one is thinking Roger Goodell is a racist, sounds like your just trying to bash him because Belichick wasn't suspended yet Goodell imposed the maximum fines and punishments he could within NFL guidelines.

I use antibiotics which lead to a remission for at least 40%, if not 65% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Your friend Roger should join our support group at:

Prednisone lowers the body's immune system, or dampens if you will. The puffy face is just one of the side effects of the drug inherently. So the colds are more than likely from the body's weakened immune system.

For osteoarthritis, take Glucosamine-chondroitin combination, it is a herbal food supplement supposed to restore the worn cartilage in the knee joints.
Prednisone is a steroid, and the more he takes it , the more he is prone to osteoporosis.
Take care.
