Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Joyce, Think really hard about going to the er.. you have been on prednisone for quite a while. It would not hurt to be checked. Be sure there isn't any sickies in the waiting room.. maybe your reg. dr can see you. I am so sorry you are hurting.

Joyce, Oh my goodness that's one of the things that drives me crazy too. One of these days it will be me flat on my face on the floor. I'm so sorry this happened to you. While you probably are fine, it might be worth a trip to the er to get checked over. Of course you have to weigh the risks of being exposed to lots of sick people in the er. I don't know what to tell you. It's a tough call. Hope the ibuprofen kicks in and you feel better soon.
