TO MM/ FELLOW NIGHT OWL

[Guest guest]

Good Morning fellow night owl,

I'm doing okay this morning, I think.......I have had to adjust my dose of prednisone again......My doctor had increased it to 30mg. then wanted me to drop down to 20mg.....after a few days at 20 I was hurting, and could hardly walk.....so I bumped it up to25mg. for a few days. Now I only have 10mg. tablets, so I'm having to cut them into. After 4 days on 25mg......I started cutting them into 1/4 tablets so I can take smaller doses.....right now I'm taking 2 10mg. tabs. then 1/4 tab.

I'm going to ask my doc. to write a script for some 1mg. tablets so I can decrease more slowly.....Hate.....Hate....Hate that stuff, but it did save my life.

I hope you find `the matter' ....and feel better soon!

We had a very rainy weekend here in the DFW area....flash floods, and all that .The last couple of days have been sunny, but we are expecting another round of thunderstorm by the end of the week.

Take care,MM, and let us know what the ultrasound shows.

I go in to see my Nephrologist on Thursday....will let you all know whas up with that .

Re:

C., How are YOU this fine day? I couldn't sleep much last night, so am up early this a.m.Don't have to get the boys up for school for another hour, yet. Nice and quiet, and the air is muchcooler this morning. I can't believe we have 90+ temps in April this year...and then it swings down tothe 30's at night and we get hail. Not predictable at all lately. LOLHope you are doing ok. I go in Friday morning for an ultrasound of my gall bladder area. I really don'tthink that is what is wrong, but I'll humor the docs on this one. LOL You take care, and keep on a-goin', as the late Hepburn used to say.
