Hi Mary!
You should have seen me @ 80! I was on that for the longest time!
Right now I'm @ 30, but it was just tapered after the last IV IG - from 40 - my neuro tapered it so quickly before that I actually had a crisis, but overall I have been @ approx 60 for a year now!
Your Willy Wonka comment was so funny! That was great!
I get my blood work done every 2 weeks (b/c of the Imuran) and so far everything has been GREAT! Granted, I take a boatload of supplements, but they keep me in check. My blood pressure is great too! In fact, some days it's too LOW - go figure!
Can't wait to hear from you!
Erin
Have a great night!
Erin

I go between 10 - 20 mg now, I try to keep it to 10, but when things act up, I go up to 20 for a few weeks, & ween down to 10 when I can.
Erin 60 mg, for a year, wow, I have done the 60 mg for a few months before, but have weened down 40 than 30 stayed there for awhile. than managed to get down to 20, it was a struggle though, things kept acting up.
You look great for being on 60 mg of Pred. , long term, how is your blood pressure, & cholsterol ?
Hope you can get down on that !
Mary
