Elaine, if you continue with the Medrol...keep in mind that
the Prilosec, and Cymbalta also have osteoporosis warnings.

It might be a good idea to get a Dexa bone density scan to establish a baseline, to compare to in say, 6-8mons while using the steroids.

Am I seeing 30,000 units of fish oil in your list? Do you mean 3,000mg? The highest I have seen in patients is 15 capsules a day and that was a fellow who had some autoimmune kidney damage.
