Hi Jess,

I don't see it as a rant, Its good you can talk about it.

I'm a bit concerned about you being told to up your pred dose til you get to a dose you want to "try out" for a while. In my thoughts pred is something that should be closely monitered when you are first put on it. My neuro put me in hospital and started me out on 60mg daily, I was in hospital in case the high dose had a bad effect.
I really feel for you not being able to pick up your baby, it must be so frustrating.

I wish I had more to say, but I'm a bit short on brainpower at the moment, but I'm sure someone will be along soon with some words of wisdom!!
take care
Kate
