The nose discomfort, well the massive pain actually, became bearable to mild, for me, from about the second or third day of being on pred.
She might still be feeling some discomfort from the operation, as well, though.
The pain should start getting better in the next day or so. Pred is a massive hitter, anti-inflammatory. It will start to reduce the inflammation and therefore decrease the pressure and pain. Some people do need other pain killers though.
That was just my encounter though. I wonder how others on here felt.

Thank you so much for this encouraging message, Michelle.

But, pred alone will not treat Wegs. She needs one of the big guns. Preferably rtx.

That's correct, it wont treat the wegs but it should make the inflammation and pain more bearable.
In the next few days they should start her on "the big guns" to start hitting her immune system for a six......if they haven't already/

But that's all we have at the moment. Jen' had her first blood and urine samples taken today together with chest X-ray. Her doctors are conferencing her case on Friday and seeing her early next week. I guess by then they will have a treatment plan. I just passed on what Michelle posted re nose pain and it cheered her up considerably (I woke her up to pass it on!). Proves the value of the forum! Thanks again. I hope that I can he so helpful to a new user sometime in the future.

Mike, if Jenny even needs a chat, we are here for her. We are good for a laugh, or a cry, or a place for her to scream at.
I sure hope the pain does start to get better soon.
This forum, and the people on here, were a life saver for me

That's sweet of you, Michelle. Thanks. Just out of interest, we lived in Melbourne years ago. Springvale, Preston, Cobug and the first Australian home we owned and lived in for a few years was in Sunbury.
