I hope the steroids help.....they can be rough on the tummy so make sure to take them with food. And a few Tums wouldn't hurt, either!!

You're taking an active role in your healthcare - that's great! Giving in would be "giving up" to this disease and nobody wants to do that!! Be gentle with yourself - we tend to beat up on ourselves the hardest and with the least need.

You're doing the right thing. Good luck!!
