Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi sandy thanks, i have been on pred since last august and it has never made me itch. I wonder if it could start doing that after this long. But when i added the metho i started itching. How are you and valarie, is she still doing well. How about your bronchitis. Sure hope you are ok. Even though i don't ask about it everday, please know that i think of you every day. I do care and if i could help in any way i would. dawn --- Sandy Catalusci biglou5685@...> wrote: > Dawn, > I get tired from the Metho too.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Dawn, Must be something besides the Pred. that is causing the itching. is doing okay, she has a respiratory virus right now so she is really tired. I'm doing better today. My breathing is better. Sandy > Hi sandy > thanks, i have been on pred since last august and it > has never made me itch.
