Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 Read your post to Sue and I've been wondering why the palms of my hands and the bottoms of my feet are all scaly and cracking. Does the pred cause that, or does it better? The doctor thought it was excema (or something like that), but I've never ever had it before. I've started lowering my pred now that I'm on the metho. Have to do it very slowly though. You are so fortunate to have it down to 4 mg. I am taking a full dose of the pred one day and half a dose the next. Hope this works. Take care and hope you are having a nice weekend. Love, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 Dear Marilyn, my feet are also very dry, as the palms of my hands. Pred is suppose to help that not make it worse. When I went to the dermy he recommended more Pred to help clear the dermatitis up and the hands and feet. Didn't work that great.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Hi Liz, I click on the word " chat " in the left hand column of my Yahoo screen in the RP group. Some others had trouble getting in there last week. We live in Eastern Washington; ston. It's right along the Snake and Clearwater rivers. On the other side of the Snake river is ton, Idaho. Hot, dry country. Supposed to be 106 here today and it's getting up there already. Almost as bad as Arizona. I don't leave the house after 10 AM and even sometimes that's too late. Do most people in Riyadh have A/C. My husband was offered a job there many years ago, can't remember now what the company was building. He didn't go. Our kids were all in school then and didn't want to move. Take care. Always good to hear from you. Love, Marilyn Yes, Marilyn I click on the address in the reminder > notice - I can get there but I can't stay!! > > Where do you live? I have forgotten.
