Maybe it's one of those natural warning things, because a very
little nutmeg goes a long way, I'd be hard pressed to injest it in
large quantities.

Isn't the same true for cashews? I think I read that somewhere.
I can't eat a whole lot of those, either, and I love them.

I believe it is the cashew pod that is harmful, not the actual nut.

Do people eat the pods? Actually, I get just a teeny bit
queasy when I overindulge in cashews, for some reason.
Doens't happen with other nuts.

nancy (sorta like potato chips when it comes to nuts, can't eat
just one. Or 20.)

No...the pods are poisonous therefore nobody in their right mind eats
them...

This is probably what I was thinking of:

http://www.museums.org.za/bio/plants/anacardiaceae/anacardium_occidentale.htm

The shell surrounding the green cashew nut kernel contains a
very acrid and irritant oil. The nut itself contains poisonous oils
which need to be evaporated through roasting before the nut
can safely be eaten.

Oh lordy, you poor dear!
Prednisone is awful stuff and does more than just make you fat. :-(

I went up nearly 50 pounds on it. My allergist, who had prescribed
the prednisone, looked at my chart on a subsequent visit, saw that I'd
become diabetic, and I thought he was going to cry. He felt so bad.
But what are you gonna do? Low carb! That's what you're gonna do!

Peace,
Carol

Horrid stuff. I'm on it 3-4 times a year usually a 10 day taper. I
hate it and DH hates it. It's likely better than not being able to
breath but sometimes I do really wonder about that especially when I'm
on it.

You were never on cortisones for respiratory problems?

Unfortunately, Prednisone is a wonderful drug for some very serious
conditions and it's often prescribed as a last resort. The side effects
suck but it's better than being 6 ft. under. ;-)

At least you know what to do about it.

From what I understand tho', there is not currently a more effective
alternative.

It sucks but it's better than being dead.

Curious, do you have a quick description of how Prednisalone
is different?

My asthma was BAD. Now it's COPD, which I'm not all that excited
about, but a person carries on, ya know? At least we're not using
Prednisone anymore.

Congratulations, you may have medication-induced diabetes. That's
what they're calling mine. I'm type 2, but this is like a sub-type or
something. Either way, it sucks!
