Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hey Chris! First of all, welcome! Sorry for the reason you are here, But glad you are here! As I have said sooooo many times before, this is more of a family than a support group....you will, of course, find support here, but also love, compassion, answers with no BS! I was diagnosed based upon pretty much everythin else being excluded....the only test I did not undergo was a pregnancy test....but, I carry a " prednisone baby " now...lol. My eventual diagnosis was confirmed by a very high ferritin level...prednisone settled my other symptons....the pain and fatigue still " broke " through....I have been on pred. For app. Two and a half years now...I do not like the side-effects but I honestly believe I would be Dead without it.....but, to answer your question, based upon what you have described and your doc's diagnosis. It sounds like " Sir Still's " . Hang in there and definitele keep coming back here... God bless you, my friend! Larry B. From NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
