Best info on Pred | Arthritis Information

Hi All my PMR friends:

This forum has been so helpful and supportive to me since I discovered it I wanted to pass on a link that is the best I have found on Pred. I do a lot of research on the internet and this is by far the best I have found. I hope it gives insight and maybe some help into the side effects, diet, vitamins, etc. of being on Prednizone. Here it is:

It is so good to be able to talk with all of you and receive understanding of what we are going through together. My prayers, cyber and otherwise, are with you all.

Hi All: It really pleases me that so many of you received benefits from this aritcle. Sharing is so important when we are in this together. I am really fighting weight gain, but I have decided that I will wait out the leveling off of my dosage and then seriously reduced my food intake. In the meantime I am just trying to eat healthy (although still a lot, every couple of hours, oh well, I will enjoy the goodies while I can).
