Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi I made the same mistake myself. You cant blame yourself for it. I am sure in time you will eventually be down to very little doses of the prednisone. You just hang on in there.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I went to the sites sent and they are interesting. I will have to be more careful than I thought. However, it did explain a lot of what I have been feeling. I think I will go a little slower than I originally planned. Plus I will called the Rheumy on Monday and just let him know what I am doing.
