Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Susiecu, I also have trouble walking or standing a few minutes at a time. My back hurts something terrible. I keep telling my rheumy but he seems to ignore me. What does your Dr. say?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Susiecue and Ann I have the same problem. I get up to sweep the house and get half way through and have to sit down. Like I said this cRaP is the pits. I don't complain too much because at least I am able to get around even if it is a lot slower than I would like. I thought the back pain on me was possibly due to the weight gain. I never lost all the weight I gained after taking pred. Take care both of you! Lots of Love Glenda ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
