Re: University of Texas South West Medical Center Appointment

Greg, know that they will have to wean you off the prednisone to keep you from haivng an adrenal crisis. Hopefully they'll be willing to start you on Methotrexate or Plaquenil while you taper off the pred, and then they can add Imuran or one of the BRM's if needed.

Take care,

Hey Y'all,Got my appointment at UTSW MC for tomorrow at 1:15pm. I am wanting them to pull me me off this nasty Prednisone and put me on something else. Prednisone worked the first time but this time it just an't cutting the cake. Will give y'all a report on the medical center caregiving. Since I got no response to my question if anyone had been there yet. I am told it is the best Sarcoid site in 1000 miles of DFW. Well I guess I will find out. I am just extremely hopeful that it really is. I am a little tired of my old friend PAIN hanging around all the time.Greg aka Krumdawg
