Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Barb, In time, talking to us as a group may feel more comfortable. I understand how you feel. It is great to get the collective experience from so many knowledgeable members. Between us all, we've taken ever med and had every treatment. The MRI doesn't sound like fun, but hopefully it will be tolerable for you. Mood swings is one of the major side effects of prednisone. Prednisone has a lot of side effects, so hopefully you won't be on it for long. Does your doctor intend on starting you on RA meds soon? Do you have any other joints that are affected besides your elbows? a On Sep 5, 2005, at 8:10 PM, sassyone3173 wrote: > Hi guys. I am not really good at the group thing, i never know what > to > say.
