Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Hi New Sue, How long have you been on Pred? I can't remember if you said or not. You shouldn't be going down on the Pred if you are having flares. I think this has already been mentioned, but I thought I'd second that. LOL Make sure your doctor doesn't even try to get the pred. down until you are flare free for a while. It's very senseless to try to lower the Pred when you are flaring. This has been my experience anyway. Just thought I'd let you know. We all learn from each other here, so remember that also. Your doctor should make the finally call, but make sure he is knowledgeable on RP and that you trust him. This is very important too. I am praying you feel better soon. W >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My ear is starting to swell slightly & red. Ihave the chills & my legs are wobbly. I am going back up to 20 mg twice aday & if I don't see improvement go up to 30 twice a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
