Re: Re: Cost of Enbrel AND good news about Prednisone

[Guest guest]

Tawny, it's good to hear from you, it's been a while. Another partial

victory I haven't mentioned is that I've gone from 10 mg of Prednisone to

only 6 per day! It's the lowest I've been on since 1992. The last few days

haven't been all that good but I'm having an easier time of it this time. I

don't know why, but my new Rheumy said he can help with the pain. I'm

calling him Monday morning and will find out if it's a bluff or not.
