Guest guest Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 First things first. My fingers are crossed that all goes well tomorrow for you Marty. You've got so much knowledge to spead around - I really appreciate it. Second - I went to the neph on Friday before Xmas and got my most recent results and finally feel like things are going in the right direction. My Protein dropped from 1300mg to 600mg in the month when I had started tapering the prednisone from 60 to 40 mg per day. I was NOT expecting that to happen. I was just expecting it all to stay put!! Unfortunately, the cholesterol jumped back up so I'm now on lipitor again. Oh well. I'll take that with the protein drop. All my other numbers are good too. Lets just say that Xmas was good. Everyone in my family was so worried about what I would eat... (and I've really got such a mild case)!! So now I'm on 30mg prednisone, 10mg prinivil and the lipitor. The other good thing is that my ankle swelling has seemed to decrease lately as well (even after spending the day flying cross country!!) and so no furosemide in almost a month. I just hope that things can keep going this well!! Hope everyone had as relaxing and wonderful a holiday as I have so far:) Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
