On the prednisone thing, I like Pity have been on it. Twice actually. Just wanted to make clear that corticosteroids have nothing to do with anabolics. For cancer they are actually used as an adjunct for cancer treatment itself and to help with the chemotherapy symptoms. They can increase appetite (a lot) so that could help sometimes. Just want to make sure nobody tries to get prednisone on the street to use for bb'ing purposes, lol..that could kill you. Prednisone absolutely ravishes the body after a while. Muscle wasting can actually be a symptom of long term use although I think some people reported an effect against muscle wasting anecdotally but it doesn't stand up to the actual evidence. From what I've heard it slows down protein synthesis more than it protects from degradation.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
