That's great, Abby!! I call this article my MG "bible" --
. I've never met Dr. Nicolle -- him being from Canada and all -- but, I sure do APPRECIATE this handy, dandy reference!!
I'd choose Imuran over Prednisone, too. Diabetes, osteoporosis, cataracts, etc..........so many things that long term Prednisone usage can do to ya. But, some people don't have any other choice.
