I went as high as 180mg 6 times day or every 4hrs when I was in my worst part of my crisis I'm now down to Slow Release "SR" 180 twice a day or e every 12hrs and trying to get off PlasmaPherisis after 82 treatments, I have to get it done weekly. I finally got off Preds but still on 200mg of Imuran daily...

I'm now going back to IvIg to try to get off PlasmaPherisis, I'm finding it very harsh on my body, I'm having a lot of muscles and joints PAIN and my Doc thinks it could be the plasma exchange having secondary effects so I'm hoping that IvIg will help to bring the pain down a bit...

If all this keeps up I might make the BIG move and do a STEM CELL treatment in the new year this can't go on for ever!!! My Specialist has cured 8 out of 8 patients so far, I did speak to 2 of them and feel great, no more needs for medications nor any types of treatment!!!!!!!

I'm just to big of a CHICKEN to do it!
