Well, it has been a rough 4 weeks now, but we have some hope
for better because I started prednisone on Friday (on day 3 now) and will be on
it for at least 26 days (and then hopefully can stop). I am starting at 30 mg now and after tomorrow
will drop 2.5 mg every 2 days. If things
start getting worse again by the end I can slow it down, but the goal is to not
stay on it any longer than I need to. It
should help my arthritis for sure and should also clear up the GI problems I
have been having (although they have been improving a little over the last 2
weeks).
I am feeling a little stronger, and am no longer losing
weight (and have gained back 4 of the 7 pounds I lost). I am already noticing that I am a little
thicker in the stomach (although not noticeable to others). My pants certainly fit a little oddly.
I am able to work a little more (from about 10
hours a week to 20-25 the last two weeks).
This included 4 dr appts too, so it means more of my hours at home are
productive.
