Sarcoidosis

Prednisone Demon Begone

Posted by Basil René on

demons-4I recently posted that my latest bone scan revealed osteoporosis in my spine. This has finally convinced my doctor to take me completely off of prednisone! Yea!

I am on this demon, mood swing, hunger causing, bone reducing, diabetes causing, tendon weakening drug for ten years this coming April and I have tried to come off multiple times with adverse results.

No with the osteoporosis, I am going to wean off completely, starting today by reducing my dose by 1/2 gram every three weeks. Life is good.
