Guest guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Greetings Everyone, Funny the progression of joining seems to correlate with conditions. I had scleritis nearly 2 years ago. Was on Prednisone for 16 months and after a grueling period of withdrawal (twice, due to recurrence) I made may way all the way off. Losing 15 lbs in the process and holding with another 20 to go. As those of you who have taken longterm pred, the withdrawal is enough to make you cry from joint pain I had a few weeks of relative joy and energy! No pain! Now, I am feeling like I am in the middle of withdrawal again. Hands, wrists, elbows, feet are all screaming at me at the same time. I even have sternum pain which my doc thinks may be reflux but I think I know better now. I had the CCP done and it is a weak positive, very low at 22. RF negative. Have degeneration in my left TMJ and will be having surgery soon to repair that mess. I am not yet being treated for RA as I only got the labs yesterday and of course, it is a holiday weekend. I keyboard 70% of my day and find my wrists are more painful that they used to be. Does anyone have any tips for me? This is my first reach out to the group. I am looking forward to getting to know people and learn from your experiences as I know that all of you are the experts in this condition.
