Re: Prednisone

welcome, jo. sorry you have to be here. i think you're our third jo. .
.. almost as many jos and dianes, now.

as others have said, your prednisone dose makes sense. i don't
understand, however, why your doc is spreading it out over the day,
since it is usually taken in the morning. you might ask him/her that.
the good news for you is that there are many good treatments these days
for RA. back in the ol' days when i was first diagnosed a mere decade
ago, there were fewer choices and many of us are left with a lot of
damage even tho our disease is now under better control with the new
meds. so if it's possible to be lucky having RA, you're lucky to be
getting it now when you have better options. i'm glad your anxiety is
being treated. panic attacks are no fun at all, and i say that as a
veteran of them.
come here when you feel panicky and afraid and just chit chat if you
need to. that's what we're here for.

good luck,

diane
