Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi Doreen. Since I began the daily use of Pred. for the last 6+ years I have put on 30 lbs. I just hate it, but I had to decide, be thin, in pain 24/7, or take my daily Pred. and my pain is gone. That is why I chose Pred. I have no sde effects from it. Just the cateract,s from Pred. which was removed 2 years ago. Other then that, it so agree's with me.  I wish you could take it successfully without any side effects. I don't think there is anything out there that does what Pred. does.  How are you doing with Biologic's? Is you pain level less? Is it agreeing with you? How is your SS case coming along?  I am loving this weather now. I feel very good, and still on my increased dose of Pred. My feet are happy too.  I am just waiting to get the reports of my MRI and foot x=ray. I can't wait to get this nodule taken out. It is one painful sucker!!  Take care, and wishing you better days ahead. I also wish you many pain free days too!  Love and hugs my dear friend,  Barbara  Hey Barbara!! So happy to hear you are feeling better and the prednisone is working for you. I need to be taking it too, but I so dread the side effects. I don't know which is worse - the pain or the weight gain and bloating - I argue with myself all the time about that. I know not everyone reacts in the same way to prednisone. I'm happy it is your miracle drug! I wish they could find something like that for me without all the side effects..... Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
