Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Russ: I have had the same problem as I have been on Pred a long time. I have held my weight down better by being sure to drink more water. We often confuse thirst with hunger so instead of grabbing a snack, I keep glasses of water going all over the house!! It has helped me a lot. : I am happy to hear that Stanford is living up to its reputation and that you are at last going to get some really good care. We all miss you when you are away!! re Pred: I have only been as high as 60 mg and was only held there for a couple of weeks before tapering off. Both times though I was tapered off slowly. Can't remember just how slow but it was slow enough to keep me out of trouble. I really have had a lot of pred over the past few years and have decided to go on MTX. I will see Dr. Buckner in Seattle Nov.2 and will report back. Love to all.
