I am a member on 2 Dercum Forums. There are several of us who have developed Dercum's from PREDNISONE or other steroids! I tell you, Lori...it makes me SICK to know you have this. I am on heavy duty pain meds, have to go to a pain clinic and virtually can't do much of anything anymore. I have been in a terrible flair since Christmas that just won't let up!

EVERYONE...if you start feeling painful lumps...

Please come and join us on the Dercum's forums, Lori. The first one, you have to be invited, which I am doing right now. I will contact Jackie, the forum owner and let her know to accept you. THe other, is public and both are Yahoo Forums.
