Hi Kitty,
How are you doing with your prednisone tapering?
I hope you are still doing ok. I am waiting to hear back from my GI today to see what i do next. So far i was on 20mg for a week and did well.

Hi Erin,

I was just thinking of you. I am still doing great on the taper. I go to 5 mg tomorrow for three days and then I am off of it. I suspect my doctor anticipates I'll need it again at some point because he prescribed a nice big supply of it. I wouldn't hesitate to take it again. I am so glad to hear you have been fine on 20 mg. I hope this continues for you. It is so great to live without all the intense gut distress. Speaking of gut distress have you heard back from your MD about your scans?

Yay!! that is great news you are almost done with your taper AND that you are feeling good!!

I heard back on the CT Scan and everything looked normal there so that is good news. I am waiting to hear back on the MRI, not sure how long that will take though.

I didn't feel great yesterday afternoon but the GI doc's nurse today told me that it can be common to get tummy distress from the contrast dye they used which i am thinking is the case as i feel fine today again. phew!!
