<p><em><strong>Miracle drug or deal with the devil?</strong></em></p><p>After forty years of marriage, Jill and Don Stegman had it all—two beautiful children, a stable relationship, fulfilling careers. But a brush with cancer and subsequent complications upended their lives. Don survived the cancer but was saddled with a sinister sidekick that transformed this gentle Dr. Jekyll into an evil Mr. Hyde: a white pill called prednisone. What was supposed to save him instead killed him—by his own hand.</p><p>With 44 million prescriptions written per year, for everything from allergies to immune system disorders, prednisone is something of a miracle drug. But the side effects—mania, psychosis, depression—took Don's life and nearly ruined Jill's.</p><p>In the months and years after Don's death, Jill reels from grief but finds her own way of coping. A memoir written in beautiful prose, <em>One Pill Makes You Stronger</em> is a love story, a cautionary tale, and a true testament to human resilience.</p>
