Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 Jo, I feel that the cortef is keeping the RP at bay. I have been on prednisone for so long ( 4 years straight) that my adrenal glands are shut down too. That is why I have to taper the pred at 1mg a month. To try to jump start my adrenals. LOL I don't think that they would take you off of your cortef to test you for RP. I have had a lot of drs. tell me to come in when I am really flareing so they can see. I know how bad a "REAL" flare is and there is no way I'm going to let it get that bad so THEY can see it. LOL How can I show them my ribs??? LOL Anyway, I hope that you get some results. Take all of the info you can. Look at the website www.polychondrits.org YOU inform the drs. 's post was SO right!! hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
