Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 What's up yall? I'm 26, diagnosed w/ AOSD a year ago last december. I got sick two years ago this month though. Meds: MTX Kineret Prednisone Protonix Vicoprophen Welbutrin XL Phenergan I am fat, and getting fatter. I can't seem to get off this pred no matter what I do. I've very slowly tapered down to around 2 mg and no matter what, I always get hit with a huge flare. I've been having my latest flare now that started the second week of December. I can't work, I had to drop out of school. I was always still able to handle school. But I've been so sick everyday and I just couldn't force myself to be sick only on certain days. How do you all have jobs? I can't handle two afternoons a week of school. What kind of future is this? Is there any hope at all? because I can't see it.... Has anyone had weightloss surgery? The LapBand in particular? Thanks for any help.... xoxo ufc_lovah Quote
