Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Thank you so much! I'm thrilled about getting rid of the prednisone. In fact, today is day 1 of just taking 1 pill. I'll have 9 more days to go of that and then it's bye-bye to the steroids!!! I can't wait for the puffiness in my face to go away and for my clothes to start fitting normal again!
