I wish I had some more padding around there!

After 25 years of pred you don't have enough padding? :-)

Hey Phil, do you know what Google is?

Had a coccyx injury in the past and damn that is aggravating- one of the only times I used a chiropractor

Could of regrown the tail in the time it took to heal.

Unfortunately not.
The Pred has given me muscle atrophy and my throat and digestive system problems make eating very difficult so I have ended up malnourished. height 6ft, weight 95 lbs !

Jack, I've never asked you this but have you considered getting a feeding tube? I know it's awful. I sure wouldn't want one. But you can't go on like this. You've got to get nutrients.

[pberggren1]

I have to agree with Sangye 100% Jack. You have to get nutrients. You are way too thin. I am 5'10" at 165 pounds.

Dang, Jack! That is bad. Seems like you do indeed need to do something. What's the doc say?

[Jack]

I see doctors and specialists on a regular basis as you know, but none of them have expressed that much concern and don't seem to think that it is life threatening. I have of course had all the necessary consultations with Dieticians as well as the Throat and Gastro docs. but there is not much they can do for me. I have considered the feeding tube option, but not really looked into the pros and cons and it has never been mentioned as an option. I'll have a think about it.

The good thing is that when I need picking up by ambulance, it is easy for them to move me around!
