I have a question for you Peggy. Didn't you tell me that you are not on prednisone? I vaguely remember that there are a few that have refused it. K Central Il Hubby ipf- 2006 As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord 14

Prednisone does little to suppress the immune system. Not enough to combat a disease like Sjogren's or Lupus. An immunosuppressant like Imuran or Cellcept is much more successful. Prednisone carries so many side effects, sometimes does more harm than good. But, I take it when the docs say take it. Whatever it takes to stay alive, I will do.
