i'm pretty much chronic so i take verapamil every day all year. just curious if you're trying that. it takes about three weeks to kick in so there have been times when i've had to go off the verapamil and start up again so when i do i take prednisone for about three weeks until the verapamil kicks in. 30 mg/day of prednisone works for me without side effects but i'm only 160lbs and am sensitive to meds. on about 400mg /day of verapamil. if you're doc don't at least give you some prednisone tell her she's a quack and report her ass to some governing medical board. but yes you should find some other help too. maybe those online drug companies can sell you some prednisone. i hear all you have to do is email their "staff online doctor" with due medical necesities and they decide online wether you need it. but i bet they can just look it up in a book or on the net and approve you. it's a written up as a legit treatment. sorry some people are so ignorant and stupid. good luck
