I tried to call my rheumatologist last week to discuss the future but she was on holidays and will be back this coming Monday. I'll call her then to see if I can get in to talk to her.

Would be most appreciative if some of you would take the time to at least say hello and if you find the site helpful. The above image is one of my photographs.

1 Week Post Prednisone
The week on prednisone was great. As the dosage was decreased, I noticed the return of some minor pain but things were still pretty good. It's now been a week and a day since I took the final dose and I'm doing not too badly. If my pain was at a 10 before prednisone then I went to about a 1 as soon as I started it. I'd say I'm now alternating between a 3 and a 4, depending on the day and I can live with that. Trouble is I realized that being at 1 was a possibility and I wouldn't mind going there again. But at what price? Prednisone taken on a long term basis can be pretty nasty so if there's an alternative I like to know.
