Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 yes, yes it is. It is also hard for me to go below 20mg, beginning to feel joint pain. Prednisone also did it to me, took my sleep, my face swelled, and the morning is hard to walk away. But I really want to stop using prednisone, I am doing physical therapy to try to accelerate it. But until I'm able to lead a normal life, at least not had to stop with the university. hugss ________________________________ De: Pamela Para: Stillsdisease Enviadas: Domingo, 26 de Setembro de 2010 20:52:46 Assunto: Res: Res: Re: change in location of pain I was on 60 mg for weeks. One day I went to the salon and looked in the mirror, I noticed my face got swollen. By the next week it was much worse plus my stomach was a mess and I had pimples, I discussed tapering with my doctor. Now I am down to 15mg. It was really hard to go below 20mg. When my joints hurt a lot like when I got home at 2 a. very tired on Fri I take 20mgs. Pain killers and eating right helped me get down to 15mg on my good days I can walk around without any taking anything for pain which is most days. I'm hoping my body will get more accustomed to this dose and I feel more balanced. I just started taking 15mg last week so I'm still testing it out. > > > > Hi pamela.. > > > > Like you, I've discovered that the disease recently, in January this year, >only > > > > > the first few days I had all those symptoms you said, then I only had joint > > pain.
