I just wanted to add on, that I am one who has been on Prednisone for more years than I care to admit. Before Prednisone, I had no antibodies show up, A couple years after Prednisone, Antibodies showed up. So it may depend upon if a person is in a flair when the blood test is done more than anything else. At least this is what I've come to believe.
teresa, I'd read that book in a heart beat.
