[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 354258, member: 47"] Good news. Prednisone is a wonder drug for people with lung problems. One of the downsides is it sucks calcium up like a sponge. SO has developed severe osteo problems with it, not to mention blisters on his eyes. He takes 150 mgs a day - good news he is breathing ok, bad news is his spine is still deterioating. He takes daily injections of Forteo - its helped to stop pregression of the osteo but with the massive doses of prednisone is probably just helping him stop further bone loss instead of doing what it is supposed to do. I am going to ask his doctor to see if he can start decreasing it very slowly - He hasent had a bad bout of his throat./lungs shutting down since he started taking the magnesium piills. Make sure your sis takes extra calcium supplements Marcie [/QUOTE]
