[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 115123, member: 179"] Prednisone is a double-edged sword. I took 90mg a day for several years. It saved my life, but also brought a host of other problems. The 40 pound weight gain in the first month was a lovely one. [img]:smile:[/img] Add in the arthritis and nice facial hair... I was supposed to be on it for life. After about 3 years, MUCH against my doctor's wishes, I slowly weaned myself off of it. (DON'T go cold turkey.) Fortunately, I have not relapsed. I just couldn't take the drug anymore. Fingers crossed that there is a cancellation!! Good luck on the appointment. Abbey [/QUOTE]
