http://dermnetnz.org/treatments/systemic-steroids.htmlI so hate taking steroids, but totally understand the need and love the end result. How can something seem so like a miracle and a curse?
All in all, I am glad we have them available when we need them
Yep, me too. I am just ready to get off of the pred. It was "fun" while it lasted, but I am closing in on 4 years of taking it and ready to get off. But I am not suppose to be weening anymore until my RA is back to not needing the pred. I am hopeful that this 100mg increase of Remicade will allow me to drop down to 5mg before I need to increase the Remicade again. If I stop the pred, maybe my HBP will go away as well. My thoughts anyways.
