Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 Hi , Just a note to let you know I am still around. I had to rush to to the Rheumy At 4pm yesterday. I have fluid in my lungs, in middle and inner ear very painful. I am on 30mg. of pred. MY c-reactive protien stays elevated, but sed rate is always normal. I am still waiting for my extra energy to kick in to finish up on Christmas.
