This dose of 5 mg is the lowest I've been on since that time, and that was nine months ago. All told I have only been on prednisone for 2 1/2 years and as far as I know, I have no side effects so far. (knock on wood or something) Hope we both get adjusted to this dose SOON! I have remicade again on Friday and I am hoping that it actually does something this time. Last time I think they injected kool-aid instead of remicade! Take care! Love, squeek ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
