Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi , I read in one of your posts that you have been on prendisone for 3 years. I have been on it for 6 months now and my RD wants me to get off it ASAP. But we are having problems doing that! Have you had any adverse effects from being on it so long? Apparently it affects your bones amongst other things. That is one of my big worries as I have a hip problem since I was 18 (am now 39) and I don't want the prendisone to make it any worse, although it is worse which I don't know if it is because of the disease or the prendisone! I am to have a hip replacement as soon as I get this disease under control. My RD doesn't want me to be operated on unless I am off prendisone or on a very low dose. So what does your doc say about the prendisone situation with you? Any of your thoughts/comments would be appreciated! Hugs from Libby.
