I have slowly been reducing the pred over the last year after starting with 40 or 50 mg - my mind is blank on which. I am now down to 5 and 7.5 alternating days. So immuran isn't for all.

I also take Ambien but still have it at times, but it really happens when I don't take the Ambien or reduce the dosage. The last time I was having ongoing insomnia the dr. decided that along with some other symptoms, maybe I needed an increase in my Paxil. That helped right away and I've had very few problems lately.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 I also checked with my doctor. He stated that it was a great program. Provides for well balanced meals. I am the type that I don't like a lot of restrictions. If you tell me I can't have it, I will crave it even more and go off the diet to eat it. This program gives me the flexibility that I need.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 I had approval also from my Hepatologist to do Weight Watchers. I lost 20 lbs. I had more than enough to keep me full even on moderate doses of Prednisone. I had a bleed and stopped going and gained some of the weight (not all) back but I think it's a good way for use to drop pounds safely. I will start again after the Holidays. .

If you are really concerned about saving fossil fuels, then incubate outside in the sun and/ot use a solar reflector like foil or hot rocks.... or find a source of waste heat like the outside dryer vent or hottub pool cover. mjh http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the technique my disabled German friend, C-M, uses and it is very successful for her. Volume too small for me.
