Since I am on pred. now and I go see rd tom.if she orders bloodwork will the pred. decrease any sign of inflamation in my bloodwork.I would think it would.

I'm sure you'll doctor will know you're taking it and take that into consideration.

When my rd was diagnosing me, he took me off of pred.  He said it would effect blood work.  Sorry Sheila.  But the pred. sure helps the pain huh!

I am worried about taking this predisone.been online,looking up stuff that is scareing me to death.Which of course I can second guess myself right now cause the pain is much better due to the predsione and I am thinking maybe it is all in my head,I tell myself I don't need predisone but am afraid to not take it.Make sense?I have gained so much weight just within the last week and a half.Now I know why one of my friends here said predisone is a witch with a b.

Well, I will let everyone know how it goes today.I am nervous,very.I am so afraid I will walk out of there with no help.Wish me luck.
