Wow, thank all of you for sharing your experiences with me. I'm very grateful.

So, today is day one of him being on Prednisone and he seems to be doing OK. He said he doesn't really feel any different. I remember my biggest side effect was feeling like I just got hit by a bus--every muscle in my body felt like it had been worked out for 10 hours a day. It was awful.

I'm glad to hear that it's normal for Doctors to tell their patients that they can adjust their medicine depending on how they feel as I thought that was kind of strange.

I do remember him telling me that magnesium was bad for him a few weeks ago ... then he changed up his supplement regime to decrease the amount of his magnesium intake.

I will keep you posted over the next few days on how he's doing. We just heard that he will be going to UCLA! His appointment is May 4th, so hopefully he will get his voice back.

Thanks again everyone!
