Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hi Everyone!! I have a question, but I'm not sure how to even word it so I'll try my best. My doctor has been reducing my prednisone over the past couple of months, however, he has not been checking my enzymes with each reduction. (Is this how it is usually done?) Over the past two weeks I have been extremely exhausted forcing myself to do everything so I called him. He ran bloodwork again and my numbers came back higher than normal.. Not much, but I had gotten them back into the normal range within the first two weeks of diagnosis (9/01). Does this mean my body can't tolerate reducing the prednisone? I'm asking because my doc is doing nothing different and continueing to lower the prednisone. ( I am currently on 5 mg and will be completely off in 4 weeks). This is really my first dealing with this and I'm unsure of what to question and insist on. He isn't running my bloodwork again for another month. I am meeting with a new doctor on January 3rd and this info will also help me in "interviewing" him. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm also on 100mgs of Imuran.
