Steroids
It's pollen allergy season, and a lot of my friends are suffering from itchy eyes, runny noses, and coughing. Don't be surprised if your Doctor prescribes you Prednisone, a steroid. It is widely prescribed to treat a wide range of problems ranging from minor bee stings to organ transplants that can be fatal without it. Since it suppresses the immune system, there can be major withdrawal and nasty side effects. This drug almost killed me 3 years ago. If you must take it, follow the dosage carefully...use wisely, and only as a last resort.
