Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Hi, Thanks for keeping us posted on your adventures. It's so neat to read your messages. Bet you are glad the family has Poms instead of 4 German Shepards. Can just picture you walking down the street with these 4 little dogs on leashes getting all tangled up. Must be a challange. I used to try and walk my cat on a leash and he would lay down flat on the ground, turn a sumersault and be out of the leash before I could grab him. I finally decided to heck with that. Take care. Love, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just grateful to be able to share them! Do you keep a journal? Might be a book in there! Love,Judy O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 Hi Liz, Hope tomorrow will be a better day for you. I'll be thinking about you and hope your voice is ok. A day in bed sounds like a winner. One time I asked my doctor for a script for 1 mg pred. and he said " oh, you can easily go from 5 mgs a day to nothing " . What a kook, huh? I probably won't have to worry anymore about the 1 mg pills. Think I'l stuck on my present dose for some time. Are you taking anything else for the RP? Take care. Love, Marilyn Hello all - I get purpura all the time on my arms, I > thought it was from the pred, but a dermatologist told > me it was more likely from the condition.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 Liz, I did that same thing once.... and only once...!! Boy we really must learn to use those 1mg preds. My one dr said I didn't need them until I was down to 10mg, but the other told me after 15mg. I started using them at 20mg and am now down to 13mg, well....tomorrow I will try 12mg. So far so good. Hope your day in bed made you feel better. Know I'm thinking about you. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
