The ammo
Prednisone: corticosteroid which suppresses the production of antibodies by a body's immune system; it can reduce inflammation and swelling
Bactrim: prophylactic antibiotic; prevents infections like bacterial pneumonia — necessary when one is left hanging out in the breeze without a functioning immune system
Pantoprazole: proton-pump inhibitor which suppresses production of stomach acid since steroids are hard on the stomach
calcium citrate with vitamin D: because steroids suck calcium from the blood
CoQ10: supports muscle building
fish oil pills: good source of Omega-3 fatty acids which reduce inflammation, improve bone strength, improve sleep, and reduce risk of colon cancer
milk thistle: thought to reduce damage to the liver. My liver enzyme levels are high because it is having to process all the detritus from the dead and dying muscle cells, so it could use some support.
turmeric: reduces inflammation and increases the antioxidant capacity of the body
stanky teas: various antioxidant tea blends containing green rooibos, ginseng, elderberry, dandelion root, chamomile, ginger, etc. Designed to support immune system, digestion, and mental vitality
Not pictured because they are gummies for kids and might make it look like I'm not taking this regimen seriously: iron, multivitamins, Vitamin C
