Thanks Pello!
Pleasure to meet you!
I know I have heard that it is not good to take the steroids long term. I am almost 90% No Starch Diet I suffer from IBS too so it's the pits. Unfortunately the only that has helped me is the hydrocortisone...and it only helps one joint area...not all of them which can be the real pits sometimes!
I know I'm still young..it's just these bones feel old sometimes...and I could deal with it better if I was older b/c I would expect that with some time on this body...but unfortunately mine has manifested rather quickly. AS sure does take you for the loopity-loop!

Thanks Pello...."yo soy una mujer muy fuerte" (I'm a pretty strong chickie")
