Sherri, I'm very happy for you about the good blood tests! What wonderful news!

As for the computer viruses, do you have virus protection such as Norton or McAffee installed? If you don't, you really need to get it. Also, you need to update it frequently by going on-line.

Congratulations on your blood tests!

Hello dde8002000@... (jim spicer),

In reference to your comment:

è Have any of

è you been of pred before??

I was on prednisone from age 15, to about age 31. I managed okay on 10 to 15 mg's a day for most of that time, but when I was sent to the hospital for the transplant screening and testing they were determined to get me off of it. That did take quite a while to bring me down off of it, I'd say about a year. Tried to stop at about 2.5 mgs . . . got really light headed and funky feeling, so back on, every other day for a while longer. It all seems to have worked out, been pred free about 3 years and holding my own.

Initially on pred I did put on quite a bit of weight, but after a few years I guess I just got used to it and gradually it dropped back off. Sometimes salt just tasted much too wonderful. The woman I live with has RA, pred is used to ward off some of her flair ups, she too can sympathize with the effects of the drug.

Just my 2 pennies about prednisone
