Big Ma,

I am so sorry to hear that you are bed ridden again and back up SO high on the pred!! That really sucks!!! I completely understand what it's like to eat pain meds like candy!! I do that every time I lower my pred, and also on the days that I take my methotrexate (which is once a week). When do you think you will be able to get out of the bed and into the pool? Is your family helping you?

I have been up and down on the prednisone the couple of months...I am now stable on 10 mg of pred and holding steady...I have been on this dose of 5 weeks now, and seem like the methotrexate is helping keep the inflammation at bay!! The only problems with the metho is the pain I get once a week from it...it is a brutal med for me, but if it keeps me on a low enough dose of the pred, I will deal with it! Right now I am dealing with a flare up of my stomach symptoms which is helping me lose the cushing's weight...it's amazing how the weight comes off when you lose everything you eat LOL! I just did blood work today and will have to turn in other fun "samples" to make sure I don't have a stomach bug (which I don't because this happens every time I lower the pred). But this doc just wants to be sure LOL...

I'm glad you checked in!! Sorry I have been MIA too...just so much going on...I was even off my computer for a month because I had a migraine for that long...ugh! *ya know what the treatment is to break the migraines??!?? PREDNISONE! AAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA I am on topomax for them...it works great for me!! :-D NO EXTRA PREDNISONE for migraines!!!

Love,

Ivy
