Default Ditching the Prednisone...
So I decided I just cannot stay on Pred any longer. I can't handle the side effects anymore. I was handling my MG without, it just seemed to help a lot. Anybody have any tips for coming off, or things I should watch out for? I'm only on 20 mg, so I don't think it will be too bad...and I am going to go slowly. Probably 5 mg a week, or so.

Also, anybody had cosmetic surgery since dignosed? I'm severly depressed about my body, and after 3 kids and Pred. I don't have any other options. Any input would be nice.

Thank you,
Jessica
