Dear Phil thank you for the information. I also have swelling on my ankles that
comes on standing for more than two hours (before TM I had no such symptom). I
have been on steroids for one and a half month is that long term?. Starting I was
given 1 gr x 5 days solumedrol and then 48 mg medrol orally for a month. Now I am
gradually reducing the dose. I use the Alternative Day Therapy and now I am on
48/16 mg medrol.
I wish you merry christmas. I wish that during 1999 your health will improve.
