i agree; as each day goes by something new is placed in the mix. i

started prednisone 7/06 and in 1/07 was told i was developing

cataracts by 7/07 my sight was very deteriorated. My eye doc seems

to believe it was too rapid of a change to be prednisone alone but

also hypoxia. Now, i have been for the past 4 months having

difficulty with auto immune cells in my eyes.. dah. and now that is

clearing up the pressure is up.. Good news is i don't have to get

the shots in my eyes for the cells; and have to return in 2 months..

It's like what surprise is in store next. oh, the kidney stones
