Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks again for everyone's input. Quantell has been off pred since the immediate post-tx period. And there were so many other things going on then, I can't really remember the effects. We're on the third day of tapering, so tonight's dose was " only " 140 mg. At least at these levels, the drops are by 10-20, so it won't take too long to get to the 70 mg maintenance. No one is hazarding an opinion on how long this will need to last. It would be nice if Q would get some energy from it. He's been on an every-other-day schedule for awhile. Do something one day, stay in bed all the next. Also wouldn't hurt if he gained some weight -- it's a struggle to keep him around 80 lbs, even on a diet that started at 3,700 cal/day and now tops 4,300. He doesn't have to try to achieve the drooped-pants look. <g> Pam (mom to Quantell, 16, dx 1996, tx 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
