Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi girls - I know we talked about this before, but I am beginning to get desperate again. I am in so much pain - I am allergic to all pain killers, even the prescription one I was taking I am beginning to get asthma from. I have Prednisone in my cupboard, and I know that within hours I could be feeling better if I started a 10-day taper now. I know it suppresses my immune system - I just don't know what to do. I feel like a knife is jabbed into my shoulder blade and coming out the front (which has always been my problem). I have no range of motion at all, even sitting still hurts. I guess I just need some convincing why I should not take a dose of steroids right now. I can't go back to the rheumatologist, because he doesn't believe the source and wants to put me on methotrexate permanently. I appreciate that you are always there to help, and I know you have all been through this - and so much worse probably, so I know you understand. Thanks Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
