Where else would one hear the term "pred buddies"? Sometimes this deal cracks me up. Get well lovie. hugss


thanks! smile

you too! heart

gotta have a sense of humour! one of our best secret weapons i think! yes

hoping the pred is helping you as much as its helping me. i'd say that pred is the bomb! (when used short term of course) cheerleader

i even made it to the dentist this morning to have my crown put in over my implant that they started with back in june. i never could have done that a day or two after my SI flaring like this without the pred. yes, its still sore, typical after that much muscle spasming, but really, compared to without pred......

and everything else feels a lot better too.

and the energy, its unbelievable how much energy i have! the downside of course is that i don't seem to get sleepy while on pred, so i stay up too late. need more discipline on that.

wish my SI was good enough to walk today. its really windy, but the sun is shining and its a balmy 50 degrees, in upstate NY, in february! i'll find an excuse to get back outside if just to stand out there for a few minutes to soak up the rays. cool
