Read the posts way down about prednisone. Long-term use of it can be extremely dangerous.
It comes to the point where you have to ask yourself is it worth taking such a risk.
I know the pain is incredible.
As for it not working, that's what happens with a lot of drugs. They work a few times and then stop. Unfortunately some people then increase dosage, take more and then can end up with rebound headaches etc.
