Prednisone will fuck you up. It's a potent synthetic stress hormone, and it very quickly causes changes to your natural production of adrenaline and cortisol. I was on 60 mg/d for a week for a case of spontaneous hearing loss due to nerve inflammation. During that week I was super irritable ('roid rage) and had trouble sleeping. My doctor cut off my prescription cold turkey instead of tapering, which is the normal thing to do. I went through 48 hours of nasty withdrawal - my resting heart rate was 120-130 and I had headaches so bad I basically had to stay in bed with the lights off. Afterwards, they gave me a note saying that if I had surgery within the next TWO YEARS that I had to let the anesthesiologist know because the aftereffects of Prednisone could change how I respond to sedation. On the plus side, I felt like I was 19 again. All my aches and pains - back, knees, shoulder - vanished (temporarily). We don't realize how much discomfort we're in until it's removed suddenly.
Your fingers get stronger naturally as you get older. It's even more noticeable if you do some kind of manual labor or supplemental training in karate. You might just be getting some old man strength in your hands and you haven't adjusted your wiping pressure.
Nah, its the alzheimers kicking in making you forget which hand you were actually wiping with...
Bro. Forreal. That shit fucked me up the time I took it. Ravenously hungry, wild mood swings, anxiety, all that shit. Prednisone is some ole bullshit. Totes.
I've been in the gym for the last couple years so that could be it. Also might attribute it to the seasons switching to summer so my hands get dry and fingers don't really grip the paper for the wipe maybe. May get a mister to mist my hand towards the end of the dump.
That's like my favorite thing ever, cause I then make them do shit work for the next week or two lol.
