That's very, very good to hear!! Glad you are on a good path and feel like you have a good team on your side. I believe that is the most important part of your health--comfortable with your health care providers.

Also I have not had any joint pain since my hip pain that day.
I was on a HUGE dose of pred back in 2013. 80mg for 6 weeks, 70, for 6 weeks...basically a 6-8 month journey to 10mg. That whole thing sucked, but in hindsight, it probably saved my lungs from further damage. During that awful time, I gained about 70 pounds. While on pred, I have ZERO self control over food intake. I feel like a starved wild animal when on any dose of pred, and those high doses were murder. I've managed to take off about 60 again, but that has been super slow going.
I wish you well. Eating healthy is really cool, and I am glad that you've been able to control the beast we love to hate--Prednisone!
Have a marvelous day!!
