Hi Nancy Lee,
I'm curious about the Prednisone you take. Does your neuro have ou to do a gradual tapering after you've been on it for over a week? After being on Prednisone for over 7 days, ones adrenal glands shut down, and have to be carefully and slowly awakened. Otherwise it can be very dangerous.
I've been on Prednisone since 2004, and have been trying to get off for well over a year now. It has to go slow, really slow, other wise a person can die. I didn't know if you knew this, and sometimes dr's forget to explain this to their patients. Not sure why, as it's very important.
love Lizzie
