Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Got a call from nurse this a.m regarding my blood workup for kidney function. Shows I am pre-diabetic now (shit!), and my Creatinine level is elevated a little in my kidney. I also have osteopenia - pre osteoprosis. Thank you prednisone! Then I just got a call from the nurse where I had my colonoscopy last wednesday. She said the scope was halted because they couldn't get through the diverticulosos.......I didn't even know I had any! So, now I have to wait for the doctor's letter in 2-3 weeks hopefully explaining what is going on. Needless say I'm in shock and wandering around the house wondering what else can go wrong. I feel like I'm being whittled away at with this and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Oh dear Joy I'm very sorry to hear this news... PREDNISONE... you're dammed if you DO & you're dammed if you DON"T...... I just wish the drug company that markets & profits from Prednisone would work on the myriad of side -effects it's known to produce! It surely must be up there with the Most Prescribed, Heavy Duty drugs across such a wide range of diseases...... I wish your news was better..... BIG HUG! in Oz >> > Got a call from nurse this a.m regarding my blood workup for kidney> function. Shows I am pre-diabetic now (shit!), and my Creatinine level> is elevated a little in my kidney.
