Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Rae, I totally understand about trying to get off prednisone. I finally got off of it a few weeks ago. It hasn't been easy though. I go to my RA doctor on the 20th of this month. Last time I went to RA doctor she also diagnosed me with Fibro. I am trying to learn all I can about Fibro. I hope you start feeling better soon. Maybe the RA doctor can help you. Keep me updated. Love and hugs, Wanda In a message dated 1/18/2005 12:09:31 A.M.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Rae, What fun! That sounds like so much fun......... My RA doctor called today and they are doing a bone density test on me tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if there are any changes in the last one. Well, I need to go so I can get to bed as work will come early in the morning. Love and hugs, Wanda In a message dated 1/19/2005 12:56:45 A.M.
