I am taking prednisone for my asthma and I feel amazing - why?

Question

I have had some breathing trouble and my doctor gave me a shot yesterday and pills for the rest of the week. I feel amazing. I can hardly sleep but feel just incredible. I cannot believe how much I have gotten done - how focused I am. My apartment has never been cleaner - I do not have anything else to clean so I am probably will be up all night playing wii. Any idea why it makes you so revved up and feel so great???

Answer 1

Because its a steroid.  

Answer 2

prednisone is a steriod and it revs up your adrenilan, but be careful when you go off it because you will shut down

Answer 3

you are on steroids.  literally. I occasionally need them for medical condition but I love this temporary phase. Steroids are a interim treatment and are not healthy for continued use. they will lower your immune system and affect major organs with long term use. But the short term effect is a great sensewell beingeing.
