I apologize for being nosey but do you mind telling me your age? (I'm

46 BTW.) The reason I ask is a friend's mother just got this

diagnosis and from what I can tell is usually affects people that are

60+.

I know next to nothing about drugs since I do everything I can to

avoid them. In general steroids scare me.

You say you were just diagnosed but started the diet several months
