I'm still here. As far as I know, nothing else has dissolved- but the jury's still out on that one. I'm off the pred; but the effects linger on.... the onion skin, brusing, aches, crankiness are way out of proportion to 20mgs of pred. My co-workers are still puzzeled about my sudden craving for olives; but then they remembered I'm just plain weird even without the steroids. I can't really use anything to strengthen my lungs- tracheal damage thanks to steroids. It kind of collapses when I exhale. It is some better, but then, I just finished another round of pred. I hope you are feeling better. You are in my prayers.
