Michelle, JanH here. You must take the oral prednisone
if you are on the solumedrol because you cannot stop a
steroid treatment abruptly!!!!! Any cortisone, i.e. prednisone,
must be taken in decreasing amounts to 'wean' your body of
the drug---with serious problems if not done!!

Know that you are most frustrated. It's part of this trial we've
been given. The slow progression of your case made diagnosis
more difficult, I am sure. I tend to think that the more you stress
out about this, the harder it is for your body to repair--nobody!
knows the answers to this and each of us is different in our reha-
bilation.

Hope that you realize that we are all here for you and know what
you are going through. Hope you get a definitive diagnosis sooner
than later--because right now your stress level is hard on you. We
all know what it is to want the answers now--wish it worked that way!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. JanH
