Sorry you have it in both hands.
The Prednisolone I am on are eye drops. Checked at MayoClinic and WebMD, not too many side effects other than a terrible taste.
I'm not elderly
yet.
This Doctor operates on all ages the same day, all come into his office the next day at the same time and wait hours. The younger ones complain too.
Sure hope you can your health taken care of and how's your husband doing.
