1st neph appt since on prednisone

[Guest guest]

I saw my neph today and we are quite happy after being about six

weeks on daily 30 mg prednisone.

My creatinine level was 293 before I started the pred; it is now at

242 after six weeks. The protenuria went down also (although even

that I could tell, I wasn't peeing a foamy bubble bath anymore!)

The blood pressure is still a concern though...even after reducing

the pred to 30 mg, it's still around 140s/90s. So now he wants me

to take 80 mg Diovan in the am and 240 mg Tiazac in the evening.

I've had little annoying side effects, but overall, I feel really

good despite them. And the lowering of the creatinine all the time

is really good icing on the cake!

Hey Sophia,

What great news! Here's hoping that your numbers continue to improve. It

took about three months for 's numbers to completely respond to

prednisone - during which I was worrying and worrying what seemed to be a

slight response. Sounds like you are off to a great start. I agree - that

creatinine drop is really good icing!
