If a man is openly expressing an opinion, and there's no woman within earshot, is he still wrong?
Hammy the answer to this question is obviously yes. (LOL)

Oh LightWarrior, I don't think you should do this to yourself. I have swelling like that and know how bad it can be. However, if you irritate the adrenal glands you will also cause huge swelling. Take it slow, let your body adapt and you'll get there. Remember, you gotta sneak away from the Wegs dog.
I'm just going to ditto Sangye. I hate pred...
If there is no compelling reason that requires tapering that fast, then it seems it's not worth the risk to do it. When I was originally treated with pred and ctx my lousy rheumy speed-tapered me and that kept the Wegs dog awake. It took 4 more years to get it to sleep and my adrenals never did come back online. You've been on it for awhile. Dr Seo always emphasizes how you have to taper it very slowly when you've been on it for an extended amount of time.
I HATE Pred!!
Never wanted to take Steroids but its that or die right? I hate what it does to my body and to my mind. I HATE Pred head, Pred rage and Pred moon face.
I used to be fairly intelligent, well i could construct whole sentences without long thoughful pauses, saying "oh, thingy bob" and could type like a "normal" person instead of mixing my words and spelling things phonetically instead of literally.

Hi All
I was diagnosed 2 years ago and have been down the cyclo, pred, cellcept roads and indeed still am but isn,t it amazing that, similar to others here it,s the calcium pill that gets me. I am in Ireland and this pill is known as Fosamac here. Same requirements for taking in the morning, loads of water, stay upright etc.
However I find Pred really scary and thankfully am on low dosage now, 5mg, so have slowly but surely been returning to normal features as distinct from the stranger in the mirror I had become while on high dosage
Sam, I hear you. Stinkin' pred.
ChrisG, once someone has been on pred for a year or more, it's much harder to taper.
