SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady

Just another GR refugee.  Other than that, I had a stroke in 2004, and read almost anything I can get my hands on, though I have a particular weakness for history, mystery, and historical fiction.

Looks Like I'm Off Prednisone!

— feeling excited

I went to the neurologist this morning, and it looks like I'm going off prednisone!  So (fingers crossed) no more steroids for me.  (I had been on 5 mg every other day, for a couple of years.  The high was 60 mg a day, but that was a dozen years ago, right after the stroke.)

 

So I'm down to 4 pills a day, from a high of 11 (including one that was to make the other pills play nice with each other).

 

I'll take it, thank you very much.
