Last drug was Imuran. I cut back on it on my own and told the doctor after I

was down to 25 mgs. I cut back very very slowly and she gave her blessing,

but with the warning that any flare, especially involving throat, I was to

immediately call her, which of course, I know and of course I will.

The only thing different that I know of is my job. I had a job working

around lots of chemicals and pesticides and got a new one about 4 months ago

and the improvement was slow in coming, but it did come and it is

continuing. I have had several mini flares which I have actually talked

myself out of. I know this does sound weird, but I tell myself I can't do

this right now, I don't have time for it, I'm too busy and try my best to

totally ignore it and it usual goes away. The mind is a great healer.

So this is my long answer, I apologize. LOL

I do truly believe my RP started and ended with the pesticides at my former

job. So I keep praying for total remission now and keep praying for everyone

here daily to do the same.

p.s. out of curiosity, what drug were you last on besides prednisone? Are

there any other helpful tips such as certain foods/diet or exercise etc.

that you have found to be personally beneficial in conrolling your RP?
