Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi My Stills Family- I have great news, I have been hesitating to e-mail or even telling anyone because I am afraid is won't last. But here it goes... I AM PREDNISONE FREE. It has been two weeks and I am feeling good. I usually have chest pain when I drop past 10mg. But WOW it was so easy to get past 10..9..8..7..6..5. Then I waited and slowed down only dropping a mg every month or so. And here I am. It has taken me 7 1/2 years to get off Prednisone. And I know that someone is reading this and thinking I hope I can be Prednisone free one day. You can and you will. Don't give up. I know that this isn't forever. I will have a flare one day (hopefully not soon) and my Rheumy will put me on 40mg. But for right now I am soooo happy. I still get my Remicade IV's every 8 weeks and I know that this is the reason I was able to decrease and stay down. I just wanted everyone to know. Everyone here has been so comforting and helpful, I won't been able to have Stills and be sane without you all. Love and Support, Keri in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
