Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Oh , I'm so sorry!! It's just terrible getting so sick but I'm glad you had the sense to have Mike call for help when you knew things were heading in the wrong direction. So welcome home. Now your only job is to rest rest rest and then after that rest some more. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you can taper right back down to 10mg of prednisone. No more getting sick my friend....look after yourself!!
