Re: Wlecome Donna J THR Story

[Guest guest]

Dear Donna,

That's exactly the strength and time period I was on the Prednisone., and I am

here to tell you,  I loved it. I had energy, I felt good. I acquired Avascular

Necrosis ( which resulted in      T HR )  It doesn't  seem like it but, 10Mg's a

day for a whole year was  detrimental to my overall welfare. I hope you fair

better than I did.

I'll be starting Remicade a little scared about it.. i always try to be as

active as I was in the past and end up " hurting myself " and often get

scraped up in the process, it warns of infections.. I get little ones all the

time... it's hard " taking care of yourself " when you've always

been a doer... guess I'll learn

Hello Donna,

Welcome to our group. I hope you find it as informing as I do. I

have been know (more that a couple of times) to post questions or

concerns and have always received encouraging and warm answers.

I saw that your prednisone question was answered. What kind of

injections will you be starting? I hope you get fantastic results!

Hi everyone I " m Donna and new to the group...

I've been taking methotraxate for a year now, was working a little,

not so much anymore so I must move on to " bigger guns " , anyway I

had

no side effects with it and have been on 10mg of pred for a year

also, what is the concern about the pred. I know long term is bad,

my doc sez it's a very low dose and not to be concerned.. I start my

injections next week...
