I walked past the mirror a few days ago and guess what I saw? The old me. A normal face. Hurrah. Other people have noticed it too. It happened at 6mgs of Prednisilone. Now I have no excuse for the extra weight I have on in other areas. Summer is on it's way here in Australia so what an incentive. I have been dropping Pred 1mg every 2 weeks so am very excited. Everything is feeling OK although it's interesting that despite my strange gait and spending so much time lying down etc over the past 15months I have not felt any stiffness, rheumaticcy pains or sore back etc. But now I am. I am guessing that the Pred supressed all that. I've also had a tooth flare up at 6mgs so I suspect it was also suppressing a nerve problem in my tooth. I write it up on the medications stream so read about it there.
