Crossing my fingers that this works -
I've been fighting a flare in recent weeks that just keeps getting worse and worse. I even asked the Rheumy about trying a course of prednisone to break it down. He didn't think the symptoms were bad enough to warrant the prednisone since it is only a temporary fix for me. Then - today - his staff called to tell me to talk with my GP - some blood work is off and indications are I should stop another prescription. As it happens, the side effects match up one for one with problems I thought were from my autoimmune disease. I feel better all ready just thinking there might be a light at the end of this tunnel!
