I hope that she is safe and that she will not be too frightened to move about in her area. 's boss and his wife are in England and we have not heard from them.

Love you....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````` Prednisone Hi Ladies, Let me tell you about my experience with prednisone! I went to what was supposed to be the 'best' rheumatolgist in Philadelphia. What a joke since I went to his office three times and only had about 5 minutes total with him. All three times I really had an appointment with his assistant and not him. I was pissed. Anyway, the assistant prescribes prednisone for me. The first night I took it I was awake with terrible pains in my liver. It felt as though a knife were being pushed into it. That night I thought that it was another new symptom coming on. I took it the second night and once again had the same excruciating pain. I called the office and spoke to 'the assistant' (doctor too busy to talk to me) and told her about what happened. She told me that it was impossible for that drug to give you those kinds of pains. I told her that 'I assure you it is the prednisone'. I asked her if there was something else I could take. She wanted me to continue it!!! I told her that I cannot spend another night in that kind of pain and I think there might be something wrong with my liver. Get this....she told me that you can't just stop taking prednisone or you will have withdrawal symptoms. I told her she was full of crap, I had only taken them for two nights and that I will not endure that kind of pain again. She insisted that I continue and I hung up and never went to 'the best' rheumatolgist in Philadelphia again! Beth S.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Lea, Sorry I asked. I'm only concerned that is all. Thought maybe you knew her and I was under the impression that she is still in the group. She posted just a few weeks ago. Never mind.
