Hello Peg, Patty and Charlene, I hope you all find a good experience here jam packed with lots of info. I am glad you are here and I will also try to help as much as I can, but I have only been dx about six months.
Patty...I don't know what to tell you about Pred. and weight gain. It doesn't react to me like that. I usually lose some weight, but I think it is inflamation. I also raise my protein during the time I use pred.
Hi all, this is my second post, and I want to say thank you for the warm welcome. I have not even come close to being diagnosed with anything yet, seems that the docs think the pain is in my head. Good luck everyone waiting to see what is going on. That is the part that makes me nuts.
