I want to thank all of you who responded to my question on
Prednisone. I have since spoken with lots of people in the medical field
and have been told basically what I have been reading in this group-
that topical use is not really bad-especially if the infection is
around for so long. The reason I was also initially concerned was because
as my eye doctor first perscribed them he mumbled under his breath
"gee I hate to give you this stuff..."
But, alas, my eye is cured now. Staying out of the chlorine water in the local
filthy pool, allong with the drops has worked.

NOW, just to keep this newsgroup going how about a new topic....my LATEST
injury....tendonitus (tendonitis?). I am going to start believing
that those that don't exercise are actually healthier!
I have developed it between my wrist and my elbow. The orthopedic doctor
(who I went to for my bursitis a few months ago) put my arm in a cast for
18 days. He said rest is the best thing for it.  Any experiences 
with how long this sort of thing takes to heal? The tendons sort of
creaked when I tried to move them and hurt like crazy!

Maybe I ought to just go back for a medical degree if I am going to
keep getting these things wrong.


Again ...thanks for all the responses to my question on prednisone.
